Rotationally Monotone Polygons
We introduce a generalization of monotonicity. An n-vertex polygon P is rotationally monotone with respect to a point r if there exists a partitioning of the boundary of P into ex...

Any monotone boolean function can be realized by interlocked polygons
We show how to construct interlocked collections of simple polygons in the plane that fall apart upon removing certain combinations of pieces. Precisely, interiordisjoint simple p...

k-star-shaped polygons
We introduce k-star-shaped polygons, polygons for which there exists at least one point x such that for any point y of the polygon, segment xy crosses the polygon's boundary ...

Sequentially Divisible Dissections of Simple Polygons
A k-dissection D of a polygon P, is a partition of P into a set of subpolygons {Q1, . . . , Qm} with disjoint interiors such that these can be reassembled to form k polygons P1, ....

Polygon Decomposition for Efficient Construction of Minkowski Sums
Several algorithms for computing the Minkowski sum of two polygons in the plane begin by decomposing each polygon into convex subpolygons. We examine different methods for decompo...

Guard placement for efficient point-in-polygon proofs
We consider the problem of placing a small number of angle guards inside a simple polygon P so as to provide efficient proofs that any given point is inside P. Each angle guard vi...

Rotational Polygon Overlap Minimization
An effective and fast algorithm is given for rotational overlap minimization: given an overlapping layout of polygons P1, P2, P3, . . . , Pk in a container polygon Q, translate an...

The Area Bisectors of a Polygon and Force Equilibria in Programmable Vector Fields
We consider the family of area bisectors of a polygon possibly with holes in the plane. We say that two bisectors of a polygon P are combinatorially distinct if they induce di e...

Triangle surfaces with discrete equivalence classes
We propose a technique that takes a triangulated surface as input and outputs a surface with the same topology but altered geometry such that each polygon falls into a set of disc...

Time-critical collision detection using an average-case approach
We present a novel, generic framework and algorithm for hierarchical collision detection, which allows an application to balance speed and quality of the collision detection. We p...
