A CHARACTERIZATION OF SETS IN R^2 WITH DC DISTANCE FUNCTION

Abstract

We give a complete characterization of closed sets F in R^2 whose distance function dF := dist(., F) is DC (i.e., is the difference of two convex functions on R^2). Using this characterization, a number of properties of such sets is proved.
