A Lower Bound on the Area of a 3-Coloured Disc Packing
Given a set of unit-discs in the plane with union area A, what fraction of A can be covered by selecting a pairwise disjoint subset of the discs? Rado conjectured

Triangulations Loosing Bundles and Weight
We introduce bundle-free triangulations, that are free of large collection of triangles overlapping a circle empty of vertices. We prove that bundle-free Steiner triangulations ca...

Optimal Point Set Partitioning using Rigid Motion Star Placement
We consider the problem of determining the placement of a star R on a set P of n points in the plane such that a given objective function is maximized. A star R is a set of m rays...

Unfolding Polyhedra via Cut-Tree Truncation
We prove that an infinite class of convex polyhedra, produced by restricted vertex truncations, always unfold without overlap. The class includes the “domes,” providing a sim...

Disjoint Segments Have Convex Partitions with 2-Edge Connected Dual Graphs
The empty space around n disjoint line segments in the plane can be partitioned into n + 1 convex faces by extending the segments in some order. The dual graph of such a partition...

Terrain Representation using Right-Triangulated Irregular Networks
A quadtree-based triangulation, sometimes called an RTIN, is a common hierarchical representation of terrain for 3D visualization. In this paper we focus on the memory/error bound...

Optimal Schedules for 2-guard Room Search
We consider the problem of searching a polygonal room with two guards starting at a specified door point. While maintaining mutual visibility and without crossing the door, the g...

Homothetic Triangle Contact Representations of Planar Graphs
In this paper we study the problem of computing homothetic triangle contact representations of planar graphs. Since not all planar graphs admit such a representation, we concentra...

Approximations of Geodesic Distances for Incomplete Triangular Manifolds
We present a heuristic algorithm to compute approximate geodesic distances on a triangular manifold S containing n vertices with partially missing data. The proposed method comput...
