Sequentially Divisible Dissections of Simple Polygons
A k-dissection D of a polygon P, is a partition of P into a set of subpolygons {Q1, . . . , Qm} with disjoint interiors such that these can be reassembled to form k polygons P1, ....

Polygon Decomposition for Efficient Construction of Minkowski Sums
Several algorithms for computing the Minkowski sum of two polygons in the plane begin by decomposing each polygon into convex subpolygons. We examine different methods for decompo...

A PTAS for Cutting Out Polygons with Lines
We present a simple O(m+n6 / 12 ) time (1+ )-approximation algorithm for the problem of cutting a convex n-gon out of a convex m-gon with line cuts of minimum total cutting length....

Trap Design for Vibratory Bowl Feeders
The vibratory bowl feeder is the oldest and still most common approach to the automated feeding (orienting) of industrial parts. In this paper we consider a class of vibratory bow...

Grasping Non-stretchable Cloth Polygons
In this paper, we examine non-stretchable 2D polygonal cloth, and place bounds on the number of fingers needed to immobilize it. For any non-stretchable cloth polygon, it is alwa...
