Range searching is a well known problem in the area of geometric data structures. We consider this problem in the context of approximation, where an approximation parameter ε >...
In this paper, we give a O(log copt)-approximation algorithm for the point guard problem where copt is the optimal number of guards. Our algorithm runs in time polynomial in n, the...

We introduce a family of directed geometric graphs, denoted Gθ λ, that depend on two parameters λ and θ. For 0 ≤ θ < π 2 and 1 2 < λ < 1, the Gθ λ graph is a s...
Building on the work of Martinetz, Schulten and de Silva, Carlsson, we introduce a 2-parameter family of witness complexes and algorithms for constructing them. This family can be ...

Let G = (S, E) be a plane straight-line graph on a finite point set S ⊂ R2 in general position. The incident angles of a point p ∈ S in G are the angles between any two edges ...

In the maximum sharing problem (MS), we want to compute a set of (non-simple) paths in an undirected bipartite graph covering as many nodes as possible of the first layer of the ...

The dynamic TCP acknowledgement problem formulated by Dooly et al. has been intensively studied in the area of competitive analysis. However, their framework does not consider the ...
A ball graph is an intersection graph of a set of balls with arbitrary radii. Given a real number t > 1, we say that a subgraph G′ of a graph G is a t-spanner of G, if for eve...
