We consider the problem of computing minimum geometric hitting sets in which, given a set of geometric objects and a set of points, the goal is to compute the smallest subset of p...
An essential cycle on a surface is a simple cycle that cannot be continuously deformed to a point or a single boundary. We describe algorithms to compute the shortest essential cy...
Let L be a set of n lines in Rd , for d 3. A joint of L is a point incident to at least d lines of L, not all in a common hyperplane. Using a very simple algebraic proof techniqu...
Let S be a set of r red points and b = r +2 blue points in general position in the plane. A line determined by them is said to be balanced if in each open half-plane bounded by th...
Given a simple polygon with rational coordinates having one vertex at the origin and an adjacent vertex on the x-axis, we look at the problem of the location of the vertices for a...

Let V be a 3-dimensional vector space over a finite field. We show that any irreducible subgroup of GL(V ) that arises as the automorphism group of an regular polytope preserves a...
We show that the cyclic lamplighter group C2 Cn embeds into Hilbert space with distortion O log n . This matches the lower bound proved by Lee, Naor and Peres in [14], answering a...
