We propose a self-improving algorithm for computing Voronoi diagrams under a given convex distance function with constant description complexity. The $n$ input points are drawn from a hidden mixture of product distributions; we are only…
The metric dimension of a graph is the minimum size of a set of vertices such that each vertex is uniquely determined by the distances to the vertices of that set. Our aim is to upper-bound the order $n$ of a graph in terms of its diameter…
We present an expected linear-time algorithm to construct the farthest-segment Voronoi diagram, given the sequence of its faces at infinity. This sequence forms a Davenport-Schinzel sequence of order 3 and it can be computed in O(n log n)…
We show how to preprocess a weighted undirected $n$-vertex planar graph in $\tilde O(n^{4/3})$ time, such that the distance between any pair of vertices can then be reported in $\tilde O(1)$ time. This improves the previous $\tilde…

We investigate the combinatorial complexity of geodesic Voronoi diagrams on polyhedral terrains using a probabilistic analysis. Aronov etal [ABT08] prove that, if one makes certain realistic input assumptions on the terrain, this complexity…
We study a general family of facility location problems defined on planar graphs and on the 2-dimensional plane. In these problems, a subset of $k$ objects has to be selected, satisfying certain packing (disjointness) and covering…

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 study the problem of computing the Voronoi diagram of a set of $n^2$ points with $O(\log n)$-bit coordinates in the Euclidean plane in a substantially sublinear in $n$ number of rounds in the congested clique model with $n$ nodes.…
In the Hausdorff Voronoi diagram of a family of \emph{clusters of points} in the plane, the distance between a point $t$ and a cluster $P$ is measured as the maximum distance between $t$ and any point in $P$, and the diagram is defined in a…
We present an extension of Voronoi diagrams where when considering which site a client is going to use, in addition to the site distances, other site attributes are also considered (for example, prices or weights). A cell in this diagram is…
A Voronoi diagram is a basic geometric structure that partitions the space into regions associated with a given set of sites, such that all points in a region are closer to the corresponding site than to all other sites. While being…
In this paper we study the hardness of the $k$-Center problem on inputs that model transportation networks. For the problem, a graph $G=(V,E)$ with edge lengths and an integer $k$ are given and a center set $C\subseteq V$ needs to be chosen…
The classic Voronoi cells can be generalized to a higher-order version by considering the cells of points for which a given $k$-element subset of the set of sites consists of the $k$ closest sites. We study the structure of the $k$-order…
