Polytope approximation and the Mahler volume
The problem of approximating convex bodies by polytopes is an important and well studied problem. Given a convex body K in Rd , the objective is to minimize the number of vertices...

Hausdorff approximation of 3D convex polytopes
Let P be a convex polytope in Rd , d = 3 or 2, with n vertices. We present linear time algorithms for approximating P by simpler polytopes. For instance, one such algorithm select...

Blind Data Classification Using Hyper-Dimensional Convex Polytopes
A blind classification algorithm is presented that uses hyperdimensional geometric algorithms to locate a hypothesis, in the form of a convex polytope or hyper-sphere. The convex ...

Loop Parallelization in the Polytope Model
During the course of the last decade, a mathematical model for the parallelization of FOR-loops has become increasingly popular. In this model, a (perfect) nest of r FOR-loops is r...

Convexity-based algorithms for design centering
A new technique for design centering, and for polytope approximation of the feasible region for a design are presented. In the rst phase, the feasible region is approximated by a ...

An optimal-time algorithm for shortest paths on a convex polytope in three dimensions
We present an optimal-time algorithm for computing (an implicit representation of) the shortest-path map from a fixed source s on the surface of a convex polytope P in three dime...

On a Geometric Generalization of the Upper Bound Theorem
We prove an upper bound, tight up to a factor of 2, for the number of vertices of level at most in an arrangement of n halfspaces in Rd , for arbitrary n and d (in particular, the...

Computing hereditary convex structures
Color red and blue the n vertices of a convex polytope P in R3 . Can we compute the convex hull of each color class in o(n log n)? What if we have χ > 2 colors? What if the co...
