Let P be a set of n points in general position in the plane. Let Xk(P ) denote the number of empty convex k-gons determined by P. We derive, using elementary proof techniques, sev...
We study the maximum edge-disjoint paths problem in undirected planar graphs: given a graph G and node pairs s1t1, s2t2, . . ., sktk, the goal is to maximize the number of pairs t...

Traditional snakes, or active contours, are planar parametric curves. Their parameters are determined by optimizing the weighted sum of three energy terms: one depending on the dat...
Partial Cover problems are optimization versions of fundamental and well studied problems like Vertex Cover and Dominating Set. Here one is interested in covering (or dominating) ...
