We discuss a method of finding skyline or non-dominated sites in a set $P$ of $n$ point sites with respect to a set $S$ of $m$ points. A site $p \in P$ is non-dominated if and only if for each $q \in P \setminus \{p\}$, there exists at…
In 1985, Chv\'{a}tal introduced the concept of star cutsets as a means to investigate the properties of perfect graphs, which inspired many researchers to study cutsets with some specific structures, for example, star cutsets, clique…
A perfect matching in an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ is a set of vertex disjoint edges from $E$ that include all vertices in $V$. The perfect matching problem is to decide if $G$ has such a matching. Recently Rothvo{\ss} proved the striking…
The Planar Steiner Tree problem is one of the most fundamental NP-complete problems as it models many network design problems. Recall that an instance of this problem consists of a graph with edge weights, and a subset of vertices (often…
This paper overviews work on the use of simple chemical reactions to calculate Voronoi diagrams and undertake other related geometric calculations. This work highlights that this type of specialised chemical processor is a model example of…
Updating an abstract Voronoi diagram after deletion of one site in linear time has been a well-known open problem; similarly, for concrete Voronoi diagrams of non-point sites. In this paper, we present an expected linear-time algorithm to…
While the standard unweighted Voronoi diagram in the plane has linear worst-case complexity, many of its natural generalizations do not. This paper considers two such previously studied generalizations, namely multiplicative and semi…
The Sparsest Cut is a fundamental optimization problem that has been extensively studied. For planar inputs the problem is in $P$ and can be solved in $\tilde{O}(n^3)$ time if all vertex weights are $1$. Despite a significant amount of…
We show how to preprocess a weighted undirected $n$-vertex planar graph in $\tilde O(n^{4/3})$ time, such that the distance between any pair of vertices can then be reported in $\tilde O(1)$ time. This improves the previous $\tilde…
We describe algorithms which address two classical problems in lattice geometry: the lattice covering and the simultaneous lattice packing-covering problem. Theoretically our algorithms solve the two problems in any fixed dimension d in the…
Orthogonal graph drawings are used in applications such as UML diagrams, VLSI layout, cable plans, and metro maps. We focus on drawing planar graphs and assume that we are given an \emph{orthogonal representation} that describes the desired…
In this paper, we propose a novel space partitioning strategy for implicit hierarchy visualization such that the new plot not only has a tidy layout similar to the treemap, but also is flexible to data changes similar to the Voronoi…
In their seminal work on the Stable Marriage Problem, Gale and Shapley describe an algorithm which finds a stable matching in $O(n^2)$ communication rounds. Their algorithm has a natural interpretation as a distributed algorithm where each…
In this paper, we study the relations between the numerical structure of the optimal solutions of a convex programming problem defined on the edge set of a simple graph and the stability number (i.e. the maximum size of a subset of pairwise…
Persistence diagrams, combining geometry and topology for an effective shape description used in pattern recognition, have already proven to be an effective tool for shape representation with respect to a certainfiltering function.…
The Voronoi Diagram is a geometrical structure that is widely used in scientific or technological applications where proximity is a relevant aspect to consider, and it also resembles natural phenomena such as cellular banks, rock formations…
Overlaid oriented Voronoi diagrams (OOVDs) are known to provide useful data for the construction of optimal Euclidean $1$-Steiner trees. The theoretical time complexity of construction methods exploiting the OOVD is $O(n^2)$, but a…
The uniqueness of an optimal solution to a combinatorial optimization problem attracts many fields of researchers' attention because it has a wide range of applications, it is related to important classes in computational complexity, and an…
In this paper we are concerned with finding the vertices of the Voronoi cell of a Euclidean lattice. Given a basis of a lattice, we prove that computing the number of vertices is a #P-hard problem. On the other hand we describe an algorithm…
An obstacle representation of a graph $G$ consists of a set of pairwise disjoint simply-connected closed regions and a one-to-one mapping of the vertices of $G$ to points such that two vertices are adjacent in $G$ if and only if the line…
