We study a variant of a polygon partition problem, introduced by Chung, Iwama, Liao, and Ahn [ISAAC'25]. Given orthogonal unit vectors $\mathbf{u},\mathbf{v}\in \mathbb{R}^2$ and a polygon $P$ with $n$ vertices, we partition $P$ into…
We give the first truly subquadratic time algorithm, with $O^*(n^{2-1/18})$ running time, for computing the diameter of an $n$-vertex unit-disk graph, resolving a central open problem in the literature. Our result is obtained as an instance…
Two planar sets are circularly separable if there exists a circle enclosing one of the sets and whose open interior disk does not intersect the other set. This paper studies two problems related to circular separability. A linear-time…
It is a longstanding conjecture that every simple drawing of a complete graph on $n \geq 3$ vertices contains a crossing-free Hamiltonian cycle. We strengthen this conjecture to "there exists a crossing-free Hamiltonian path between each…
An old conjecture of Erd{\H{o}}s and Gallai states that every $n$ vertex graph can be decomposed, that is $E(G)$ can be partitioned, into $O(n)$ cycles and edges. The covering version of this conjecture was proven by Pyber in 1985, where it…
In this era of data deluge, many signal processing and machine learning tasks are faced with high-dimensional datasets, including images, videos, as well as time series generated from social, commercial and brain network interactions. Their…
For a given real number $\alpha$, let us place the fractional parts of the points $0, \alpha, 2 \alpha,$ $ \cdots, (N-1) \alpha$ on the unit circle. These points partition the unit circle into intervals having at most three lengths, one…
Consider a pair of plane straight-line graphs, whose edges are colored red and blue, respectively, and let n be the total complexity of both graphs. We present a O(n log n)-time O(n)-space technique to preprocess such pair of graphs, that…
We show that the quantum query complexity of detecting if an $n$-vertex graph contains a triangle is $O(n^{9/7})$. This improves the previous best algorithm of Belovs making $O(n^{35/27})$ queries. For the problem of determining if an…
A $3$-connected graph is minimally 3-connected if removal of any edge destroys 3-connectivity. We present an algorithm for constructing minimally 3-connected graphs based on the results in (Dawes, JCTB 40, 159-168, 1986) using two…
Several methods of triclustering of three dimensional data require the specification of the cluster size in each dimension. This introduces a certain degree of arbitrariness. To address this issue, we propose a new method, namely the…
The 3SUM problem is to decide, given a set of $n$ real numbers, whether any three sum to zero. It is widely conjectured that a trivial $O(n^2)$-time algorithm is optimal and over the years the consequences of this conjecture have been…
Social networks are the fabric of society and the subject of frequent visual analysis. Closed triads represent triangular relationships between three people in a social network and are significant for understanding inherent interconnections…
We introduce a new method to reconstruct 3D objects using a set of volumetric primitives, i.e., superquadrics. The method hierarchically decomposes a target 3D object into pairs of superquadrics recovering finer and finer details. While…
Given a trapezoid dissected into triangles, the area of any triangle determined by either diagonal of the trapezoid is integral over the ring generated by the areas of the triangles in the dissection. Given a parallelogram dissected into…
We present new quantum algorithms for Triangle Finding improving its best previously known quantum query complexities for both dense and spare instances.For dense graphs on $n$ vertices, we get a query complexity of $O(n^{5/4})$ without any…
We consider cycle decompositions of even, $2an$-dimensional hypercubes $Q_{2an},$ where $a \geq 3$ is odd and $n \geq 1.$ Prior work done by Axenovich, Offner, and Tompkins focused on obtaining the existence of cycle decompositions for…
A pair of non-adjacent edges is said to be separated in a circular ordering of vertices, if the endpoints of the two edges do not alternate in the ordering. The circular separation dimension of a graph $G$, denoted by $\pi^\circ(G)$, is the…
This paper presents a quantum algorithm for triangle finding over sparse graphs that improves over the previous best quantum algorithm for this task by Buhrman et al. [SIAM Journal on Computing, 2005]. Our algorithm is based on the recent…
This paper presents how the space of spheres and shelling may be used to delete a point from a $d$-dimensional triangulation efficiently. In dimension two, if k is the degree of the deleted vertex, the complexity is O(k log k), but we…
