We use computational experiments to find the rectangles of minimum area into which a given number n of non-overlapping congruent circles can be packed. No assumption is made on the shape of the rectangles. Most of the packings found have…
We consider rectangle graphs whose edges are defined by pairs of points in diagonally opposite corners of empty axis-aligned rectangles. The maximum number of edges of such a graph on $n$ points is shown to be 1/4 n^2 +n -2. This number…
For any natural number $d$ and positive number $\varepsilon$, we present a point set in the $d$-dimensional unit cube $[0,1]^d$ that intersects every axis-aligned box of volume greater than $\varepsilon$. These point sets are very easy to…
Let $P_{n}$ be a set of $n$ points, including the origin, in the unit square $U = [0,1]^2$. We consider the problem of constructing $n$ axis-parallel and mutually disjoint rectangles inside $U$ such that the bottom-left corner of each…
We study new types of geometric query problems defined as follows: given a geometric set $P$, preprocess it such that given a query point $q$, the location of the largest circle that does not contain any member of $P$, but contains $q$ can…
We consider the problem of computing the largest-area bichromatic separating box among a set of $n$ red points and a set of $m$ blue points in three dimensions. Currently, the best-known algorithm to solve this problem takes $O(m^2 (m +…
We set out an elementary approach to derive Visible Point Identities summed on lattice points of inverted triangle (2D), pyramid (3D), hyperpyramid (4D, 5D and so on) utilizing the greatest common divisor for the nD Visible Point Vectors.…
Recently, Adiprasito et al. have initiated the study of the so-called no-dimensional Tverberg problem. This problem can be informally stated as follows: Given $n\geq k$, partition an $n$-point set in Euclidean space into $k$ parts such that…
A finite point set in $\mathbb{R}^d$ is in general position if no $d + 1$ points lie on a common hyperplane. Let $\alpha_d(N)$ be the largest integer such that any set of $N$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$, with no $d + 2$ members on a common…
We study open sets $\mathcal{P}$ in normed spaces $X$ attaining a large volume while avoiding pairs of points at integral distance. The proposed task is to find sharp inequalities for the maximum possible $d$-dimensional volume. This…
Suppose that each proper subset of a set $S$ of points in a vector space is contained in the union of planes of specified dimensions, but $S$ itself is not contained in any such union. How large can $|S|$ be? We prove a general upper bound…
We study the problem of discrete geometric packing. Here, given weighted regions (say in the plane) and points (with capacities), one has to pick a maximum weight subset of the regions such that no point is covered more than its capacity.…
We give a polynomial-time constant-factor approximation algorithm for maximum independent set for (axis-aligned) rectangles in the plane. Using a polynomial-time algorithm, the best approximation factor previously known is $O(\log\log n)$.…
Classical jittered sampling partitions $[0,1]^d$ into $m^d$ cubes for a positive integer $m$ and randomly places a point inside each of them, providing a point set of size $N=m^d$ with small discrepancy. The aim of this note is to provide a…
We present an algorithmic framework for computing anti-chains of maximum size in geometric posets. Specifically, posets in which the entities are geometric objects, where comparability of two entities is implicitly defined but can be…

In this paper, we address the minimum-area rectangular and square annulus problem, which asks a rectangular or square annulus of minimum area, either in a fixed orientation or over all orientations, that encloses a set $P$ of $n$ input…
We consider the problem of packing rectangles into bins that are unit squares, where the goal is to minimize the number of bins used. All rectangles have to be packed non-overlapping and orthogonal, i.e., axis-parallel. We present an…
We study a generalization of the knapsack problem with geometric and vector constraints. The input is a set of rectangular items, each with an associated profit and $d$ nonnegative weights ($d$-dimensional vector), and a square knapsack.…
