We give an overview of the 2026 Computational Geometry Challenge targeting the problem of finding a Central Triangulation under Parallel Flip Operations in triangulations of point sets. A flip is the parallel exchange of a set of edges in a…
The ellipticity graph of a free group $F$ was defined by I. Kapovich and M. Lustig in order to study the outer automorphism group of $F$, which acts on this graph. The graph was constructed to be analogous to the curve complex of a surface.…
In this paper we prove that a finite triangulation of a connected closed surface is completely determined by its intersection matrix. The \emph{intersection matrix} of a finite triangulation, $K$, is defined as $M_{K}=(dim(s_{i}\cap…
Triangle strips have been widely used for efficient rendering. It is NP-complete to test whether a given triangulated model can be represented as a single triangle strip, so many heuristics have been proposed to partition models into few…

The concept of pseudo-distance-regularity around a vertex of a graph is a natural generalization, for non-regular graphs, of the standard distance-regularity around a vertex. In this note, we prove that a pseudo-distance-regular graph…

There are several interrelated notions of discrete curvature on graphs. Many approaches utilize the optimal transportation metric on its probability simplex or the distance matrix of the graph. In this survey article, we compute formulas…
Let $G$ be a a connected graph. The Wiener index of a connected graph is the sum of the distances between all unordered pairs of vertices. We provide asymptotic formulae for the maximum Wiener index of simple triangulations and…
TD-Delaunay graphs, where TD stands for triangular distance, is a variation of the classical Delaunay triangulations obtained from a specific convex distance function. Bonichon et. al. noticed that every triangulation is the TD-Delaunay…
We define a distance metric between partitions of a graph using machinery from optimal transport. Our metric is built from a linear assignment problem that matches partition components, with assignment cost proportional to transport…
Let $ G $ be a connected graph. If $\bar{\sigma}(v)$ denotes the arithmetic mean of the distances from $v$ to all other vertices of $G$, then the proximity, $\pi(G)$, of $G$ is defined as the smallest value of $\bar{\sigma}(v)$ over all…
We introduce the concept of distance mean-regular graph, which can be seen as a generalization of both vertex-transitive and distance-regular graphs. Let $\Gamma$ be a graph with vertex set $V$, diameter $D$, adjacency matrix $A$, and…
A threshold graph G on n vertices is defined by binary sequence of length n. In this paper we present an explicit formula for computing the distance characteristic polynomial of a threshold graph from its binary sequence. As application, we…
A suitable measure for the similarity of shapes represented by parameterized curves or surfaces is the Fr\'echet distance. Whereas efficient algorithms are known for computing the Fr\'echet distance of polygonal curves, the same problem for…
The inner product provides a conceptually and algorithmically simple method for calculating the comoving distance between two cosmological objects given their redshifts, right ascension and declination, and arbitrary constant curvature. The…
In this work, we study the computability of topological graphs, which are obtained by gluing arcs and rays together at their endpoints. We prove that every semicomputable graph in a computable metric space can be approximated, with…
The Serpinsky-Knopp curve is characterized as the only curve (up to isometry) that maps a unit segment onto a triangle of a unit area, so for any pair of points in the segment, the square of the distance between their images does not exceed…
Mahlmann and Schindelhauer (2005) defined a Markov chain which they called $k$-Flipper, and showed that it is irreducible on the set of all connected regular graphs of a given degree (at least 3). We study the 1-Flipper chain, which we call…
