The Hilbert metric is a distance function defined for points lying within a convex body. It generalizes the Cayley-Klein model of hyperbolic geometry to any convex set, and it has numerous applications in the analysis and processing of…

Given a set $S$ of $m$ point sites in a simple polygon $P$ of $n$ vertices, we consider the problem of computing the geodesic farthest-point Voronoi diagram for $S$ in $P$. It is known that the problem has an $\Omega(n+m\log m)$ time lower…
We investigate the problem of computing the shortest secure path in a Voronoi diagram. Here, a path is secure if it is a sequence of touching Voronoi cells, where each Voronoi cell in the path has a uniform cost of being secured.…

We show that for those lattices of Voronoi's first kind with known obtuse superbasis, a closest lattice point can be computed in $O(n^4)$ operations where $n$ is the dimension of the lattice. To achieve this a series of relevant lattice…
Polygonal chains are fundamental objects in many applications like pattern recognition and protein structure alignment. A well-known measure to characterize the similarity of two polygonal chains is the famous Fr\`{e}chet distance. In this…
Let $S$ be a planar $n$-point set. A triangulation for $S$ is a maximal plane straight-line graph with vertex set $S$. The Voronoi diagram for $S$ is the subdivision of the plane into cells such that all points in a cell have the same…
We consider preprocessing a set $S$ of $n$ points in convex position in the plane into a data structure supporting queries of the following form: given a point $q$ and a directed line $\ell$ in the plane, report the point of $S$ that is…
We consider the Voronoi diagram of lines in $\mathbb{R}^3$ under the Euclidean metric, and give a full classification of its structure in the base case of four lines in general position. We first show that the number of vertices in the…
In this thesis we study sets of points in the plane and their Voronoi diagrams, in particular when the points coincide. We bring together two ways of studying point sets that have received a lot of attention in recent years: Voronoi…
We study Voronoi diagrams for distance functions that add together two convex functions, each taking as its argument the difference between Cartesian coordinates of two planar points. When the functions do not grow too quickly, then the…
We present the first optimal randomized algorithm for constructing the order-$k$ Voronoi diagram of $n$ points in two dimensions. The expected running time is $O(n\log n + nk)$, which improves the previous, two-decades-old result of Ramos…

We study the Voronoi Diagram of Rotating Rays, a Voronoi structure where the input sites are rays and the distance function between a point and a site/ray, is the counterclockwise angular distance. This novel Voronoi diagram is motivated by…
