On the least median square problem
We consider the exact and approximate computational complexity of the multivariate LMS linear regression estimator. The LMS estimator is among the most widely used robust linear s...

Single-strip triangulation of manifolds with arbitrary topology
Triangle strips have been widely used for efficient rendering. It is NP-complete to test whether a given triangulated model can be represented as a single triangle strip, so many...

Time-varying reeb graphs for continuous space-time data
The Reeb graph is a useful tool in visualizing real-valued data obtained from computational simulations of physical processes. We characterize the evolution of the Reeb graph of a...

The geometric thickness of low degree graphs
We prove that the geometric thickness of graphs whose maximum degree is no more than four is two. In our proofs, we present a space and time efficient embedding technique for gra...

Pushing squares around
We study dynamic self-reconfiguration of modular metamorphic systems. We guarantee the feasibility of motion planning in a rectangular model consisting of square modules that are...

On distinct distances from a vertex of a convex polygon
Given a set P of n points in convex position in the plane, we prove that there exists a point p ∈ P such that the number of distinct distances from p is at least (13n−6)/36 . ...

Inner and outer rounding of set operations on lattice polygonal regions
Robustness problems due to the substitution of the exact computation on real numbers by the rounded floating point arithmetic are often an obstacle to obtain practical implementa...

Separating point sets in polygonal environments
We consider the separability of two point sets inside a polygon by means of chords or geodesic lines. Specifically, given a set of red points and a set of blue points in the inte...

Locality-sensitive hashing scheme based on p-stable distributions
We present a novel Locality-Sensitive Hashing scheme for the Approximate Nearest Neighbor Problem under ÐÔ norm, based on Ôstable distributions. Our scheme improves the running...

Quality meshing for polyhedra with small angles
We present an algorithm to compute a Delaunay mesh conforming to a polyhedron possibly with small input angles. The radius-edge ratio of most output tetrahedra are bounded by a co...
