Computational Balloon Twisting: The Theory of Balloon Polyhedra
This paper builds a general mathematical and algorithmic theory for balloon-twisting structures, from balloon animals to balloon polyhedra, by modeling their underlying graphs (ed...

Data Structures for Restricted Triangular Range Searching
We present data structures for triangular emptiness and reporting queries for a planar point set, where the query triangle contains the origin. The data structures use near-linear...

The Embroidery Problem
We consider the problem of embroidering a design pattern, given by a graph G, using a single minimum length thread. We give an exact polynomial-time algorithm for the case that G ...

The Steiner Ratio for Obstacle-Avoiding Rectilinear Steiner Trees
We consider the problem of finding a shortest rectilinear Steiner tree for a given set of points in the plane in the presence of rectilinear obstacles that must be avoided. We ext...

Polar Diagram of Moving Objects
Many important problems in Computational Geometry needs to perform some kind of angle processing. The Polar Diagram [4] is a locus approach for problems processing angles. Using t...

Approximating k-hop Minimum Spanning Trees in Euclidean Metrics
In the minimum-cost k-hop spanning tree (k-hop MST) problem, we are given a set S of n points in a metric space, a positive small integer k and a root point r ∈ S. We are intere...

Contraction and Expansion of Convex Sets
Let S be a set system of convex sets in Rd . Helly’s theorem states that if all sets in S have empty intersection, then there is a subset S′ ⊂ S of size d+1 which also has e...

On the Number of Empty Pseudo-Triangles in Point Sets
We analyze the minimum and maximum number of empty pseudo-triangles defined by any planar point set. We consider the cases where the three convex vertices are fixed and where th...

A Note on Drawing Direction-constrained Paths in 3D
We study the problem of drawing a graph-theoretic path where each edge is assigned an axis-parallel direction in 3D. Di Battista et al.[3] gives a combinatorial characterization f...
