Locked and unlocked chains of planar shapes
We extend linkage unfolding results from the well-studied case of polygonal linkages to the more general case of linkages of polygons. More precisely, we consider chains of nonove...

An Optimal Competitive Strategy for Walking in Streets
We present an optimal strategy for searching for a goal in a street which achieves the competitive factor of √ 2, thus matching the best lower bound known before. This finally ...

Approximation of Convex Figures by Pairs of Rectangles
We consider the problem of approximating a convex gure in the plane by a pair (r; R) of homothetic (that is, similar and parallel) rectangles with r C R. We show the existenc...

Shortest Paths for a Two-robot Rendez-vous
In this paper, we consider an optimalmotionplanning problem for a pair of point robots in a planar environment with polygonal obstacles. We seek a pair of paths upon which the rob...

Optimal Approximation of Elliptic Problems by Linear and Nonlinear Mappings
We study the optimal approximation of the solution of an operator equation A(u) = f by four types of mappings: a) linear mappings of rank n; b) n-term approximation with respect t...
