We devise an algorithm for maintaining the visibility polygon of any query point in a dynamic polygonal domain, i.e., as the polygonal domain is modified with vertex insertions and deletions to its obstacles, we update the data structures…
Let $\mathcal{S}$ be a connected planar polygonal subdivision with $n$ edges that we want to preprocess for point-location queries, and where we are given the probability $\gamma_i$ that the query point lies in a polygon $P_i$ of…
An arrangement of $n$ curves in the plane is given. The query is a point $q$ and the goal is to find the face of the arrangement that contains $q$. A data-structure for point-location, preprocesses the curves into a data structure of…
Visibility graph of a simple polygon is a graph with the same vertex set in which there is an edge between a pair of vertices if and only if the segment through them lies completely inside the polygon. Each pair of adjacent vertices on the…
A routing labeling scheme assigns a binary string, called a label, to each node in a network, and chooses a distinct port number from $\{1,\ldots,d\}$ for every edge outgoing from a node of degree $d$. Then, given the labels of $u$ and $w$…
In this paper we consider the problem of computing the weak visibility polygon of any query line segment $pq$ (or $WVP(pq)$) inside a given polygon $P$. Our first non-trivial algorithm runs in simple polygons and needs $O(n^3 \log n)$ time…
Given a graph $G$ and two vertices $s$ and $t$ in it, {\em graph reachability} is the problem of checking whether there exists a path from $s$ to $t$ in $G$. We show that reachability in directed layered planar graphs can be decided in…
In the store-and-forward routing problem, packets have to be routed along given paths such that the arrival time of the latest packet is minimized. A groundbreaking result of Leighton, Maggs and Rao says that this can always be done in time…
Given a distributed network represented by a weighted undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ on $n$ vertices, and a parameter $k$, we devise a distributed algorithm that computes a routing scheme in $(n^{1/2+1/k}+D)\cdot n^{o(1)}$ rounds, where $D$ is…
The space-requirement for routing-tables is an important characteristic of routing schemes. For the cost-measure of minimizing the total network load there exist a variety of results that show tradeoffs between stretch and required size for…

The packet routing problem asks to select routing paths that minimize the maximum edge congestion for a set of packets specified by source-destination vertex pairs. We revisit a semi-oblivious approach to this problem: each…
Routing is a widespread approach to transfer information from a source node to a destination node in many deployed wireless ad-hoc networks. Today's implemented routing algorithms seek to efficiently find the path/route with the largest…

We consider the problem of finding minimum-link rectilinear paths in rectilinear polygonal domains in the plane. A path or a polygon is rectilinear if all its edges are axis-parallel. Given a set $\mathcal{P}$ of $h$ pairwise-disjoint…
We study the query version of constrained minimum link paths between two points inside a simple polygon $P$ with $n$ vertices such that there is at least one point on the path, visible from a query point. The method is based on partitioning…
The visibility graph of a simple polygon represents visibility relations between its vertices. Knowing the correct order of the vertices around the boundary of a polygon and its visibility graph, it is an open problem to locate the vertices…
