Fractals for Secondary Key Retrieval
In this paper we propose the use of fractals and especially the Hilbert curve, in order to design good distance-preserving mappings. Such mappings improve the performance of secon...

Asymptotic Enumeration of Non-crossing Partitions on Surfaces
We generalize the notion of non-crossing partition on a disk to general surfaces with boundary. For this, we consider a surface Σ and introduce the number CΣ(n) of noncrossing pa...

Exact Illumination in Polygonal Environments using Vertex Tracing
Abstract. Methods for exact computation of irradiance and form factors associated with polygonal objects have ultimately relied on a formula for a differential area to polygon form...

Centerpoints and Tverberg's technique
Using a technique that Tverberg and Vrecica [TV93] discovered to give a surprisingly simple proof of Tverberg's theorem, we show the following extension of the centerpoint th...
