Real-world road networks have an approximate scale-invariance property; can one devise mathematical models of random networks whose distributions are {\em exactly} invariant under Euclidean scaling? This requires working in the continuum…
Disjoint paths are defined as paths between the source and destination nodes where the intermediate nodes in any two paths are disjoint. They are helpful in fault-tolerance routing and securing message distribution in the network. Several…
A path or a polygonal domain is C-oriented if the orientations of its edges belong to a set of C given orientations; this is a generalization of the notable rectilinear case (C = 2). We study exact and approximation algorithms for…
Contour polygonal approximation is a simplified representation of a contour by line segments, so that the main characteristics of the contour remain in a small number of line segments. This paper presents a novel method for polygonal…

The reachability problem asks to decide if there exists a path from one vertex to another in a digraph. In a grid digraph, the vertices are the points of a two-dimensional square grid, and an edge can occur between a vertex and its…
