Deconstructing approximate offsets
We consider the offset-deconstruction problem: Given a polygonal shape Q with n vertices, can it be expressed, up to a tolerance ε in Hausdorff distance, as the Minkowski sum o...

A Method for Deforming Polygonal Shapes into Smooth Spline Surface Models
This paper describes a new spline formulation that supports deformation of polygonal shapes into smooth spline surface models. Once a polygonal shape with underlying rectangular t...

On a Conjecture on Wiener Indices in Combinatorial Chemistry
Drugs and other chemical compounds are often modeled as polygonal shapes, where each vertex represents an atom of the molecule, and covalent bonds between atoms are represented by...
