Tangencies between families of disjoint regions in the plane
Let C be a family of n convex bodies in the plane, which can be decomposed into k subfamilies of pairwise disjoint sets. It is shown that the number of tangencies between the memb...

Manifold reconstruction using tangential Delaunay complexes
We give a provably correct algorithm to reconstruct a kdimensional manifold embedded in d-dimensional Euclidean space. Input to our algorithm is a point sample coming from an unkn...

The complexity of the normal surface solution space
Normal surface theory is a central tool in algorithmic threedimensional topology, and the enumeration of vertex normal surfaces is the computational bottleneck in many important a...

Computing similarity between piecewise-linear functions
We study the problem of computing the similarity between two piecewise-linear bivariate functions defined over a common domain, where the surfaces they define in 3D—polyhedral...

A dynamic data structure for approximate range searching
In this paper, we introduce a simple, randomized dynamic data structure for storing multidimensional point sets, called a quadtreap. This data structure is a randomized, balanced ...

The 2-center problem in three dimensions
Let P be a set of n points in R3 . The 2-center problem for P is to find two congruent balls of the minimum radius whose union covers P. We present two randomized algorithms for ...

Optimal reconstruction might be hard
Sampling conditions for recovering the homology of a set using topological persistence are much weaker than sampling conditions required by any known algorithm for producing a top...
