We give in this paper a convergence result concerning parallel synchronous algorithm for nonlinear fixed point problems with respect to the euclidian norm in $\Rn$. We then apply this result to some problems related to convex analysis like…
Given a regular $n$-gon on the plane, it is evident that from any point on the plane, taken as a center, one can draw $n$ concentric circles such that each circle passes through one of the vertices of the polygon. Naturally, this raises the…
The Euclidean Steiner Minimal Tree problem takes as input a set $\mathcal P$ of points in the Euclidean plane and finds the minimum length network interconnecting all the points of $\mathcal P$. In this paper, in continuation to the works…
We prove two-sided bounds on the expected values of several geometric functionals of the convex hull of Brownian motion in $\mathbb{R}^n$ and their inverse processes. This extends some recent results of McRedmond and Xu (2017),…
In this paper, extending the work of Gal'perin (Comm. Math. Phys. 154: 63-84, 1993), we investigate generalizations of the concepts of centroids and static equilibrium points of a convex body in spherical, hyperbolic and normed spaces. In…
We investigate how the complexity of Euclidean TSP for point sets $P$ inside the strip $(-\infty,+\infty)\times [0,\delta]$ depends on the strip width $\delta$. We obtain two main results. First, for the case where the points have distinct…
The celebrated Dvoretzky theorem asserts that every $N$-dimensional convex body admits central sections of dimension $d = \Omega(\log N)$, which is nearly spherical. For many instances of convex bodies, typically unit balls with respect to…
We show that the max-min-angle polygon in a planar point set can be found in time $O(n\log n)$ and a max-min-solid-angle convex polyhedron in a three-dimensional point set can be found in time $O(n^2)$. We also study the maxmin-angle…
Given a set of $n$ circular arcs of the same radius in the plane, we consider the problem of computing the number of intersections among the arcs. The problem was studied before and the previously best algorithm solves the problem in…
This paper addresses the numerical computation of critical angles between two convex cones in finite-dimensional Euclidean spaces. We present a novel approach to computing these critical angles by reducing the problem to finding stationary…
In this paper we study the class of so called `ball-bodies' in ${\mathbb R}^n$, given by intersections of translates of Euclidean unit balls (or, equivalently, summand of the Euclidean ball). We study the class along with the natural…
In this paper, an effective method with time complexity of $\mathcal{O}(K^{3/2}N^2\log \frac{K}{\epsilon_0})$ is introduced to find an approximation of the convex hull for $N$ points in dimension $n$, where $K$ is close to the number of…
Problems on repeated geometric patterns in finite point sets in Euclidean space are extensively studied in the literature of combinatorial and computational geometry. Such problems trace their inspiration to Erd\H{o}s' original work on that…
We present an $O(n^2\log^4 n)$-time algorithm for computing the center region of a set of $n$ points in the three-dimensional Euclidean space. This improves the previously best known algorithm by Agarwal, Sharir and Welzl, which takes…
Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in the plane. In this paper we study a new variant of the circular separability problem in which a point set $P$ is preprocessed so that one can quickly answer queries of the following form: Given a geometric…
A set of segments in the plane may form a Euclidean TSP tour or a matching, among others. Optimal TSP tours as well as minimum weight perfect matchings have no crossing segments, but several heuristics and approximation algorithms may…
We consider Marstrand type projection theorems for closest-point projections in the normed space $\mathbb{R}^2$. We prove that if a norm on $\mathbb{R}^2$ is regular enough, then the analogues of the well-known statements from the Euclidean…
This paper is motivated by real-life applications of bi-objective optimization. Having many non dominated solutions, one wishes to cluster the Pareto front using Euclidian distances. The p-center problems, both in the discrete and…
A fundamental problem in shape matching and geometric similarity is computing the maximum area overlap between two polygons under translation. For general simple polygons, the best-known algorithm runs in $O((nm)^2 \log(nm))$ time [Mount,…
Upper and lower bounds are derived for the Gaussian mean width of the intersection of a convex hull of $M$ points with an Euclidean ball of a given radius. The upper bound holds for any collection of extreme point bounded in Euclidean norm.…
