We present a near-quadratic time algorithm that computes a point inside a simple polygon P in the plane having approximately the largest visibility polygon inside P, and a near-linear time algorithm for finding the point that will have approximately the largest Voronoi region when added to an n-point set in the plane. We apply the same technique to find the translation that approximately maximizes the area of intersection of two polygonal regions in near-quadratic time, and the rigid motion doing so in near-cubic time.
