Segment intersection searching problems in general settings
We consider segment intersection searching amidst (possibly intersecting) algebraic arcs in the plane. We show how to preprocess n arcs in time O(n2+ ) into a data structure of si...

A practical approach for computing the diameter of a point set
We present an approximation algorithm for computing the diameter of a point-set in d-dimensions. The new algorithm is sensitive to the "hardness" of computing the diamet...

Computing a 3-dimensional cell in an arrangement of quadrics: exactly and actually!
We present two approaches to the problem of calculating a cell in a 3-dimensional arrangement of quadrics. The first approach solves the problem using rational arithmetic. It work...

Discrete mobile centers
We propose a new randomized algorithm for maintaining a set of clusters among moving nodes in the plane. Given a specified cluster radius, our algorithm selects and maintains a va...

Hierarchical morse complexes for piecewise linear 2-manifolds
We present algorithms for constructing a hierarchy of increasingly coarse Morse complexes that decompose a piecewise linear 2-manifold. While Morse complexes are defined only in t...
