Symbolic parametrization of pipe and canal surfaces
A canal surface S, generated by a parametrized curve m(t), in R3 is the envelope of the set of spheres with radius r(t) centered at m(t). This concept generalizes the classical of...

A faster implementation of the Goemans-Williamson clustering algorithm
We give an implementation of the Goemans-Williamson clustering procedure which is at the core of several approximation algorithms including those for Generalized Steiner Trees, Pr...

Orientation, Scale, and Discontinuity as Emergent Properties of Illusory Contour Shape
A recent neural model of illusory contour formation is based on a distribution of natural shapes traced by particles moving with constant speed in directions given by Brownian mot...

Approximating the Minimum Weight Triangulation
We show that the length of the minimum weight Steiner triangulation (MWST) of a point set can be approximated within a constant factor by a triangulation algorithm based on quadtr...
