Finding Extremal Polygons

Given $n$ points in the plane, we present algorithms for finding maximum perimeter or area convex $k$-gons with vertices $k$ of the given $n$ points. Our algorithms work in linear space and time $O(kn\lg n + n\lg ^2 n)$. For the special case $k = 3$ we give $O(n\lg n)$ algorithms for these problems. Several related issues are discussed.
