Abstract

We explore several problems related to ruled polygons. Given a ruling of a polygon PP, we consider the Reeb graph of PP induced by the ruling. We define the Reeb complexity of PP, which roughly equates to the minimum number of points necessary to support PP. We give asymptotically tight bounds on the Reeb complexity that are also tight up to a small additive constant. When restricted to the set of parallel rulings, we show that the Reeb complexity can be computed in polynomial time.
