In this paper we address the problem of finding well approximating lattices for a given finite set $A$ of points in ${\mathbb R}^n$. More precisely, we search for $\v{o},\v{d_1}, \dots,\v{d_n}\in \mathbb{R}^n$ such that $\v{a}-\v{o}$ is…

Given a set of point sites in a simple polygon, the geodesic farthest-point Voronoi diagram partitions the polygon into cells, at most one cell per site, such that every point in a cell has the same farthest site with respect to the…

Many discrete optimization problems amount to selecting a feasible set of edges of least weight. We consider in this paper the context of spatial graphs where the positions of the vertices are uncertain and belong to known uncertainty sets.…

We give a survey of work on the number of vertices of the convex hull of integer points defined by the system of linear inequalities. Also, we present our improvement of some of these.

The computation of Voronoi Diagrams, or their dual Delauney triangulations is difficult in high dimensions. In a recent publication Polianskii and Pokorny propose an iterative randomized algorithm facilitating the approximation of Voronoi…

We investigate the relation between the convergence of a sequence of lattices and the set-theoretic convergence of their corresponding Voronoi cells sequence. We prove that if a sequence of full rank lattices converges to a full rank…

We analyze the complexity of fitting a variety, coming from a class of varieties, to a configuration of points in $\Bbb C^n$. The complexity measure, called the algebraic complexity, computes the Euclidean Distance Degree (EDdegree) of a…

We present a number of complexity results concerning the problem of counting vertices of an integral polytope defined by a system of linear inequalities. The focus is on polytopes with small integer vertices, particularly 0/1 polytopes and…

A hex sphere is a singular Euclidean sphere with four cones points whose cone angles are (integer) multiples of 2*pi/3 but less than 2*pi. Given a hex sphere M, we consider its Voronoi decomposition centered at the two cone points with…

Point-to-mesh distance queries are fundamental in computer graphics and geometric modeling. While the state-of-the-art P2M method achieves high-speed queries via Voronoi-based localization, it suffers from prohibitive precomputation costs.…

Vertical decomposition is a widely used general technique for decomposing the cells of arrangements of semi-algebraic sets in $d$-space into constant-complexity subcells. In this paper, we settle in the affirmative a few long-standing open…

In this paper we consider the classical problem of computing linear extensions of a given poset which is well known to be a difficult problem. However, in our setting the elements of the poset are multivariate polynomials, and only a small…

The lattice $A_n^*$ is an important lattice because of its covering properties in low dimensions. Clarkson \cite{Clarkson1999:Anstar} described an algorithm to compute the nearest lattice point in $A_n^*$ that requires $O(n\log{n})$…

A graph is called (generically) rigid in $\mathbb{R}^d$ if, for any choice of sufficiently generic edge lengths, it can be embedded in $\mathbb{R}^d$ in a finite number of distinct ways, modulo rigid transformations. Here we deal with the…

We give a deterministic 2^{O(n)} algorithm for computing an M-ellipsoid of a convex body, matching a known lower bound. This has several interesting consequences including improved deterministic algorithms for volume estimation of convex…

We present two methods to continuously and piecewise-linearly parametrize rank-3 lattices by vectors of $\RR^{13}$, which provides an efficient way to judge if two sets of parameters provide nearly identical lattices within their margins of…
