On the average case performance of some greedy approximation algorithms for the uncapacitated facility location problem
In combinatorial optimization, a popular approach to NP-hard problems is the design of approximation algorithms. These algorithms typically run in polynomial time and are guarante...

How Reliable Are Practical Point-in-Polygon Strategies?
We experimentally study the reliability of geometric software for point location in simple polygons. As expected, the code we tested works very well for random query points. Howeve...

Preferred directions for resolving the non-uniqueness of Delaunay triangulations
: This note proposes a simple rule to determine a unique triangulation among all Delaunay triangulations of a planar point set, based on two preferred directions. We show that the ...
