A bounded subset of a normed linear space is said to be (diametrically) complete if it cannot be enlarged without increasing the diameter. A complete super set of a bounded set $K$ having the same diameter as $K$ is called a completion of…

Given a set of $n$ points in the plane, and a parameter $k$, we consider the problem of computing the minimum (perimeter or area) axis-aligned rectangle enclosing $k$ points. We present the first near quadratic time algorithm for this…

We prove that, among the polygons in a punctured disc with fixed angles, the perimeter is minimized by the polygon with an inscribed horocycle centered at the puncture. We generalize this to a disc with a cone point and to an annulus with a…

We study over a number field, the iterates of automorphisms of the affine space. More precisely, we are interested in the periodic and non-periodic points; for the former the questions are similar to the ones about torsion points on abelian…

We establish a lower bound for the surface area of a closed, convex hypersurface in Euclidean space in terms of its displacement under continuous maps. As a result, a hypothesized lower bound for the volume of a Riemannian $n$-sphere,…

We prove the local inequality $A \geq 8\pi|J|$, where $A$ and $J$ are the area and angular momentum of any axially symmetric closed stable minimal surface in an axially symmetric maximal initial data. From this theorem it is proved that the…

We consider the following geometric optimization problem: find a convex polygon of maximum area contained in a given simple polygon $P$ with $n$ vertices. We give a randomized near-linear-time $(1-\varepsilon)$-approximation algorithm for…

Given $N$ geodesic caps on the unit sphere in $\mathbb{R}^d$, and whose total normalized surface area sums to one, what is the maximal surface area their union can cover? In this work, we provide an asymptotically sharp upper bound for an…

We consider a polygon in a two-dimensional plane with a homogeneous constant magnetic field orthogonal to such plane, but inside the polygon, the magnetic field is zero. We study the dynamics of an electron with an initial velocity in this…

Given a polygonal region containing a target point (which we assume is the origin), it is not hard to see that there are two points on the perimeter that are antipodal, that is, whose midpoint is the origin. We prove three generalizations…

We consider a problem posed by Erd\H{o}s, Herzog and Piranian on the maximum product of distances of a point set of order $n$ with a given diameter. We prove that it is sufficient to consider convex polygons and obtain results on the…

This paper presents a general method for obtaining radius of the corresponding circumference to a cyclical polygon $n$ sides given the lengths of said sides, using the notion of complex number. As of radius $r$, obtained, can then be…

A classical Tur\'an problem asks for the maximum possible number of edges in a graph of a given order that does not contain a particular graph $H$ as a subgraph. It is well-known that the chromatic number of $H$ is the graph parameter which…

A variation on the classical polygon illumination problem was introduced in [Aichholzer et. al. EuroCG'09]. In this variant light sources are replaced by wireless devices called k-modems, which can penetrate a fixed number k, of "walls". A…

Given a convex polygon of $n$ sides, one can draw $n$ disks (called side disks) where each disk has a different side of the polygon as diameter and the midpoint of the side as its center. The intersection graph of such disks is the…

A_k = {1, a_2, ... a_k} is an h-basis for n if every positive integer not exceeding n can be expressed as the sum of no more than h values a_i. An extremal h-basis A_k is one for which n is as large as possible. Computing extremal bases is…

This paper studies the geodesic diameter of polygonal domains having h holes and n corners. For simple polygons (i.e., h = 0), the geodesic diameter is determined by a pair of corners of a given polygon and can be computed in linear time,…

Given is a 1.5D terrain $\mathcal{T}$, i.e., an $x$-monotone polygonal chain in $\mathbb{R}^2$. For a given $2\le k\le n$, our objective is to approximate the largest area or perimeter convex polygon of exactly or at most $k$ vertices…

Let $P$ be a convex polyhedron and $Q$ be a convex polygon with $n$ vertices in total in three-dimensional space. We present a deterministic algorithm that finds a translation vector $v \in \mathbb{R}^3$ maximizing the overlap area $|P \cap…

It is a longstanding problem to determine the precise relationship between the geodesic length spectrum of a hyperbolic manifold and its commensurability class. A well known result of Reid, for instance, shows that the geodesic length…
