For a positive integer n that is not a power of 2, precisely the same family of convex polygons with n sides is optimal in three different geometric problems. These polygons have ...

In this paper, we examine non-stretchable 2D polygonal cloth, and place bounds on the number of fingers needed to immobilize it. For any non-stretchable cloth polygon, it is alwa...

We present kinetic data structures for detecting collisions between a set of polygons that are moving continuously. Unlike classical collision detection methods that rely on bound...

Abstract. We study some minimum-area hull problems that generalize the notion of convex hull to starshaped and monotone hulls. Specifically, we consider the minimum-area star-shap...

We design a kinetic data structure for detecting collisions between two simple polygons in motion. In order to do so, we create a planar subdivision of the free space between the ...

We prove that the anisotropic generating function of self-avoiding polygons is not a D-finite function--proving a conjecture of Guttmann [Discrete Math. 217 (2000) 167
