Optimally cutting a surface into a disk
We consider the problem of cutting a subset of the edges of a polyhedral manifold surface, possibly with boundary, to obtain a single topological disk, minimizing either the total...

Simultaneous Embedding of a Planar Graph and Its Dual on the Grid
Traditional representations of graphs and their duals suggest the requirement that the dual vertices should be placed inside their corresponding primal faces, and the edges of the ...

Preprocessing Chains for Fast Dihedral Rotations Is Hard or Even Impossible
We examine a computational geometric problem concerning the structure of polymers. We model a polymer as a polygonal chain in three dimensions. Each edge splits the polymer into t...

Sufficiently Fat Polyhedra are not 2-castable
In this note we consider the problem of manufacturing a convex polyhedral object via casting. We consider a generalization of the sand casting process where the object is manufact...

Small Strictly Convex Quadrilateral Meshes of Point Sets
In this paper we give upper and lower bounds on the number of Steiner points required to construct a strictly convex quadrilateral mesh for a planar point set. In particular, we sh...

Long Proteins with Unique Optimal Foldings in the H-P Model
It is widely accepted that (1) the natural or folded state of proteins is a global energy minimum, and (2) in most cases proteins fold to a unique state determined by their amino ...
