In any hierarchical radiosity method, the most expensive part is the evaluation of the visibility. Many methods use sampling and ray casting to determine this term. Space partitio...
When can a d-dimensional rectangular box R be tiled by translates of two given d-dimensional rectangular bricks B1 and B2? We prove that R can be tiled by translates of B1 and B2 ...
For trunk packing problems only few approximation schemes are known, mostly designed for the European standard DIN 70020 [6] with equally sized boxes [8, 9, 11, 12]. In this paper ...
