Let S be a set system of convex sets in Rd . Helly’s theorem states that if all sets in S have empty intersection, then there is a subset S′ ⊂ S of size d+1 which also has e...
In this paper, we show that there is a close relation between consistency in a constraint network and set intersection. A proof schema is provided as a generic way to obtain consi...
We show that recognizing intersection graphs of convex sets has the same complexity as deciding truth in the existential theory of the reals. Comparing this to similar results on t...
We consider segment intersection searching amidst (possibly intersecting) algebraic arcs in the plane. We show how to preprocess n arcs in time O(n2+ ) into a data structure of si...
Motivated by the method for the reconstruction of 3D objects from a set of parallel cross sections, based on the binary operation between 2D sets termed “metric average”, we de...
