The quadratic shortest path problem is the problem of finding a path in a directed graph such that the sum of interaction costs over all pairs of arcs on the path is minimized. We derive several semidefinite programming relaxations for the…
Probabilistic analysis for metric optimization problems has mostly been conducted on random Euclidean instances, but little is known about metric instances drawn from distributions other than the Euclidean. This motivates our study of…
We consider an optimal transport problem on the unit simplex whose solutions are given by gradients of exponentially concave functions and prove two main results. First, we show that the optimal transport is the large deviation limit of a…
For any pattern $p$ of length at most two, we provide generating functions and asymptotic approximations for the number of $p$-equivalence classes of Dyck paths with catastrophes, where two paths of the same length are $p$-equivalent…
The objects of study are triangulations of the dilated standard triangle in the plane. Motivated by work on T-curves (Geiselmann et al., 2026), the focus lies on unimodular triangulations with a fixed symmetry axis. Lower and upper bounds…
Given any convex $n$-gon, in this article, we: (i) prove that its vertices can form at most $n^2/2 + \Theta(n\log n)$ isosceles trianges with two sides of unit length and show that this bound is optimal in the first order, (ii) conjecture…
We show that the minimum number of orientations of the edges of the n-vertex complete graph having the property that every triangle is made cyclic in at least one of them is $\lceil\log_2(n-1)\rceil$. More generally, we also determine the…
It is well-known that any finite triangulation possesses a unique maximal Schnyder wood. We introduce Schnyder woods of infinite triangulations, and prove there exists a unique maximal Schnyder wood of any infinite triangulation with finite…
We consider the problem of finding an inductive construction, based on vertex splitting, of triangulated spheres with a fixed number of additional edges (braces). We show that for any positive integer $b$ there is such an inductive…
We initiate the study of computing diverse triangulations to a given polygon. Given a simple $n$-gon $P$, an integer $ k \geq 2 $, a quality measure $\sigma$ on the set of triangulations of $P$ and a factor $ \alpha \geq 1 $, we formulate…
We develop a natural generalization to the notion of the central path -- a notion that lies at the heart of interior-point methods for convex optimization. The generalization is accomplished via the "derivative cones" of a "hyperbolicity…
Paths that consist of up-steps of one unit and down-steps of $k$ units, being bounded below by a horizontal line $-t$, behave like $t+1$ ordered tuples of $k$-Dyck paths, provided that $t\le k$. We describe the general case, allowing $t$…
Let $\Poly$ be a simple polygon with $n$ vertices. The \emph{dual graph} $\triang^*$ of a triangulation~$\triang$ of~$\Poly$ is the graph whose vertices correspond to the bounded faces of $\triang$ and whose edges connect those faces…
Higher order Delaunay triangulations are a generalization of the Delaunay triangulation which provides a class of well-shaped triangulations, over which extra criteria can be optimized. A triangulation is order-$k$ Delaunay if the…
A \emph{stacked triangulation} of a $d$-simplex $\mathbf{o}=\{1,\ldots,d+1\}$ ($d\geq 2$) is a triangulation obtained by repeatedly subdividing a $d$-simplex into $d+1$ new ones via a new vertex (the case $d=2$ is known as an Appolonian…
We compute the number of triangulations of a convex $k$-gon each of whose sides is subdivided by $r-1$ points. We find explicit formulas and generating functions, and we determine the asymptotic behaviour of these numbers as $k$ and/or $r$…
We introduce a parametrized notion of genericity for Delaunay triangulations which, in particular, implies that the Delaunay simplices of $\delta$-generic point sets are thick. Equipped with this notion, we study the stability of Delaunay…
We introduce a new poset structure on Dyck paths where the covering relation is a particular case of the relation inducing the Tamari lattice. We prove that the transitive closure of this relation endows Dyck paths with a lattice structure.…
We prove two results on stacked triangulated manifolds in this paper: (a) every stacked triangulation of a connected manifold with or without boundary is obtained from a simplex or the boundary of a simplex by certain combinatorial…
Maximal $(k+1)$-crossing-free graphs on a planar point set in convex position, that is, $k$-triangulations, have received attention in recent literature, with motivation coming from several interpretations of them. We introduce a new way of…
