Unfolding Restricted Convex Caps
This paper details an algorithm for unfolding a class of convex polyhedra, where each polyhedron in the class consists of a convex cap over a rectangular base, with several restri...

A Finite Element Method on Convex Polyhedra
We present a method for animating deformable objects using a novel finite element discretization on convex polyhedra. Our finite element approach draws upon recently introduced ...

Some ways to reduce the space dimension in polyhedra computations
Convex polyhedra are often used to approximate sets of states of programs involving numerical variables. The manipulation of convex polyhedra relies on the so-called double descri...

On the infinitesimal rigidity of weakly convex polyhedra
The main motivation here is a question: whether any polyhedron which can be subdivided into convex pieces without adding a vertex, and which has the same vertices as a convex poly...

Hierarchical Convex Approximation of 3D Shapes for Fast Region Selection
Given a 3D solid model S represented by a tetrahedral mesh, we describe a novel algorithm to compute a hierarchy of convex polyhedra that tightly enclose S. The hierarchy can be b...

Separation and Approximation of Polyhedral Objects
Given a family of disjoint polygons P1, P2, : : :, Pk in the plane, and an integer parameter m, it is NP-complete to decide if the Pi's can be pairwise separated by a polygon...

A Class of Convex Polyhedra with Few Edge Unfoldings
We construct a sequence of convex polyhedra on n vertices with the property that, as n, the fraction of its edge unfoldings that avoid overlap approaches 0, and so the frac

Unfolding Polyhedra via Cut-Tree Truncation
We prove that an infinite class of convex polyhedra, produced by restricted vertex truncations, always unfold without overlap. The class includes the “domes,” providing a sim...
