The complexity of flow on fat terrains and its i/o-efficient computation
We study the complexity and the I/O-efficient computation of flow on triangulated terrains. We present an acyclic graph, the descent graph, that enables us to trace flow paths in ...

Flexible isosurfaces: Simplifying and displaying scalar topology using the contour tree
our tree is an abstraction of a scalar field that encodes the nesting relationships of isosurfaces. We show how to use the contour tree to represent individual contours of a scala...

Highway hull revisited
A highway H is a line in the plane on which one can travel at a greater speed than in the remaining plane. One can choose to enter and exit H at any point. The highway time distanc...

An efficient algorithm for the stratification and triangulation of an algebraic surface
: We present a method to compute the exact topology of a real algebraic surface S, implicitly given by a polynomial f Q[x,y,z] of arbitrary total degree N. Additionally, our analy...

Approximation algorithm for the kinetic robust K-center problem
Clustering is an important problem and has numerous applications. In this paper we consider an important clustering problem, called the k-center problem. We are given a discrete p...

Mixed volume techniques for embeddings of Laman graphs
We use Bernstein's Theorem [1] to obtain combinatorial bounds for the number of embeddings of Laman graph frameworks modulo rigid motions. For this, we study the mixed volume...

Pointed binary encompassing trees: Simple and optimal
For n disjoint line segments in the plane we construct in optimal O(n log n) time and linear space an encompassing tree of maximum degree three such that at every vertex all incid...
