Given two Digital Straight Segments (DSS for short) of known minimal characteristics, we investigate the union of these DSSs: is it still a DSS ? If yes, what are its minimal characteristics ? We show that the problem is actually easy and can be solved in, at worst, logarithmic time using a state-of-the-art algorithm. We moreover propose a new algorithm of logarithmic worst-case complexity based on arithmetical properties. But when the two DSSs are connected, the time complexity of this algorithm is lowered to
$\mathcal{O}(1)$
and experiments show that it outperforms the state-of-the art one in any case.
