We study algorithmic aspects of optimal containment problems in this
thesis. We consider 1- and k-containment problems under homothety, with the
special case of the k-center problem, as well as rotational containment
problems, especially some problems involving cylinders. We discuss the
complexity of such problems alongside algorithms to compute bounds for the
optimal value, relying amongst other on geometric inequalities, mathematical
programming formulations, and the concept of core-sets to achieve these
results. The thesis includes experimental studies of the practical performance
of the described algorithms, too.
