Pareto Envelopes in Simple Polygons
For a set T of n points in a metric space (X, d), a point y X is dominated by a point x X if d(x, t) d(y, t) for all t T and there exists t T such that d(x, t ) < d(y, t )....

Kinetic collision detection between two simple polygons
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 ...

Parabola Separation Queries and their Application to Stone Throwing
Given two sets A and B of m non-intersecting line segments in the plane, we show how to compute in O(m log m) time a data structure that uses O(m) space and allows to answer the fo...

Connecting Polygonizations via Stretches and Twangs
We show that the space of polygonizations of a fixed planar point set S of n points is connected by O(n2 ) “moves” between simple polygons. Each move is composed of a sequence...

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...

Approximate shortest path algorithms for sequences of pairwise disjoint simple polygons
Assume that two points p and q are given and a finite ordered set of simple polygons, all in the same plane; the basic version of a touring-a-sequence-of-polygons problem (TPP) is...

How Reliable Are Practical Point-in-Polygon Strategies?
We experimentally study the reliability of geometric software for point location in simple polygons. As expected, the code we tested works very well for random query points. Howeve...
