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, ....
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...
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....
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...

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...
