In this paper we study the problem of finding hotspots, i.e. regions in which a moving entity has spent a significant amount of time, for polygonal trajectories. The fastest optimal algorithm, due to Gudmundsson, van Kreveld, and Staals…
A hotspot is an axis-aligned square of fixed side length $s$, the duration of the presence of an entity moving in the plane in which is maximised. An exact hotspot of a polygonal trajectory with $n$ edges can be found in $O(n^2)$. Defining…
A stay point of a moving entity is a region in which it spends a significant amount of time. In this paper, we identify all stay points of an entity in a certain time interval, where the entity is allowed to leave the region but it should…
One of the key challenges for autonomous vehicles is the ability to accurately predict the motion of other objects in the surrounding environment, such as pedestrians or other vehicles. In this contribution, a novel motion forecasting…
In many advanced network analysis applications, like social networks, e-commerce, and network security, hotspots are generally considered as a group of vertices that are tightly connected owing to the similar characteristics, such as common…
In this paper, we study the problem of map matching with travel time constraints. Given a sequence of $k$ spatio-temporal measurements and an embedded path graph with travel time costs, the goal is to snap each measurement to a close-by…
Orienteering is the following optimization problem: given an edge-weighted graph (directed or undirected), two nodes s,t and a time limit T, find an s-t walk of total length at most T that maximizes the number of distinct nodes visited by…
Given a point set $P$ in the plane, we seek a subset $Q\subseteq P$, whose convex hull gives a smaller and thus simpler representation of the convex hull of $P$. Specifically, let $cost(Q,P)$ denote the Hausdorff distance between the convex…
In this paper we study a facility location problem in the plane in which a single point (facility) and a rapid transit line (highway) are simultaneously located in order to minimize the total travel time of the clients to the facility,…
Given an instance of the preferential attachment graph $G_n=([n],E_n)$, we would like to find vertex 1, using only 'local' information about the graph; that is, by exploring the neighborhoods of small sets of vertices. Borgs et. al gave an…
In the \textsc{Waypoint Routing Problem} one is given an undirected capacitated and weighted graph $G$, a source-destination pair $s,t\in V(G)$ and a set $W\subseteq V(G)$, of \emph{waypoints}. The task is to find a walk which starts at the…
We present a near-linear time approximation algorithm for the subtrajectory cluster problem of $c$-packed trajectories. The problem involves finding $m$ subtrajectories within a given trajectory $T$ such that their Fr\'echet distances are…
The quantum walk dynamics obey the laws of quantum mechanics with an extra locality constraint, which demands that the evolution operator is local in the sense that the walker must visit the neighboring locations before endeavoring to…
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…
Consider the continuum of points along the edges of a network, i.e., a connected, undirected graph with positive edge weights. We measure the distance between these points in terms of the weighted shortest path distance, called the network…
Temporal graphs are graphs where the edge set can change in each time step, and the vertex set stays the same. Exploration of temporal graphs whose snapshot in each time step is a connected graph, called connected temporal graphs, has been…
We initiate the study of a fundamental combinatorial problem: Given a capacitated graph $G=(V,E)$, find a shortest walk ("route") from a source $s\in V$ to a destination $t\in V$ that includes all vertices specified by a set…
We treat a quantum walk model with in- and out- flows at every time step from the outside. We show that this quantum walk can find the marked vertex of the complete graph with a high probability in the stationary state. In exchange of the…
In the restricted shortest paths problem, we are given a graph $G$ whose edges are assigned two non-negative weights: lengths and delays, a source $s$, and a delay threshold $D$. The goal is to find, for each target $t$, the length of the…
