The Strange Complexity of Constrained Delaunay Triangulation
The problem of determining whether a polyhedron has a constrained Delaunay tetrahedralization is NP-complete. However, if no five vertices of the polyhedron lie on a common spher...

Network Design Subject to Facility Location
We consider the problem of designing a transportation network to allow the residents of the network to avail service provided by a single facility whose location is predetermined....

Coloring Objects Built From Bricks
We address a question posed by Sibley and Wagon. They proved that rhombic Penrose tilings in the plane can be 3colored, but a key lemma of their proof fails in the natural 3D gene...

Partitioning Regular Polygons into Circular Pieces I: Convex Partitions
We explore an instance of the question of partitioning a polygon into pieces, each of which is as “circular” as possible, in the sense of having an aspect ratio close to

On Coherent Rotation Angles for As-Rigid-As-Possible Shape Interpolation
Morphing algorithms aim to construct visually pleasing interpolations (morphs) between 2D or 3D shapes. One of the desirable properties of a morph is avoiding selfintersections of...

Curves of width one and the river shore problem
We consider the problem of finding the shortest curve in the plane that has unit width. This problem was first posed as the “river shore” puzzle by Ogilvy (1972) and is rela...

On the Complexity of Halfspace Volume Queries
Given a polyhedron P in Rd with n vertices, a halfspace volume query asks for the volume of P ∩ H for a given halfspace H. We show that, for d ≥ 3, such queries can require ...

Transversals to line segments in R3
We completely describe the structure of the connected components of transversals to a collection of n arbitrary line segments in R3 . We show that n 3 line segments in R3 admit 0,...
