Abstract

The (distance) k-sector is a generalization of the concept of bisectors proposed by Asano, Matoušek and Tokuyama. We prove the uniqueness of the 4-sector of two points in the Euclidean plane. Despite the simplicity of the unique 4-sector (which consists of a line and two parabolas), our proof is quite non-trivial. We begin by establishing uniqueness in a small region of the plane, which we show may be perpetually expanded afterward.
