Given a finite point set $P\subset\mathbb{R}^d$, we call a multiset $A$ a one-sided weak $\varepsilon$-approximant for $P$ (with respect to convex sets), if $|P\cap C|/|P|-|A\cap C|/|A|\leq\varepsilon$ for every convex set $C$. We show…

Given a simple polygon $\mathscr{P}$, two points $x$ and $y$ within $\mathscr{P}$ are {\em visible} to each other if the line segment between $x$ and $y$ is contained in $\mathscr{P}$. The {\em visibility region} of a point $x$ includes all…

In the present work, the problem about shadow, generalized on domains of space $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\le 3$, is investigated. Here the shadow problem means to find the minimal number of balls satisfying some conditions an such that every line…

A metric space $\mathrm{M}=(M,\de)$ is {\em indivisible} if for every colouring $\chi: M\to 2$ there exists $i\in 2$ and a copy $\mathrm{N}=(N, \de)$ of $\mathrm{M}$ in $\mathrm{M}$ so that $\chi(x)=i$ for all $x\in N$. The metric space…

Discrepancy measures how uniformly distributed a point set is with respect to a given set of ranges. There are two notions of discrepancy, namely continuous discrepancy and combinatorial discrepancy. Depending on the ranges, several…

Machine learning and data mining techniques are effective tools to classify large amounts of data. But they tend to preserve any inherent bias in the data, for example, with regards to gender or race. Removing such bias from data or the…

The concept of a visible point of a convex set relative to a given point is introduced. A number of basic properties of such visible point sets is developed. In particular, it is shown that this concept is useful in the study of best…

We introduce the theory of div point sets, which aims to provide a framework to study the combinatoric nature of any set of points in general position on an Euclidean plane. We then show that proving the unsatisfiability of some first-order…

Recent works have demonstrated the importance of object completion in 3D Perception from Lidar signal. Several methods have been proposed in which modules were used to densify the point clouds produced by laser scanners, leading to better…

Dense forests are discrete subsets of Euclidean space which are uniformly close to all sufficiently long line segments. The degree of density of a dense forest is measured by its visibility function. We show that cut-and-project…

In this paper, we consider the isoperimetric problem in the space $\mathbb{R}^N$ with density. Our result states that, if the density f is l.s.c. and converges to a positive limit at infinity, being smaller than this limit far from the…

A Borel set $B \subset \mathbb{R}^{n}$ is visible from $x \in \mathbb{R}^{n}$, if the radial projection of $B$ with base point $x$ has positive $\mathcal{H}^{n - 1}$ measure. I prove that if $\dim B > n - 1$, then $B$ is visible from every…

Visibility plays an important role for decision making in cluttered, uncertain environments. This paper considers the problem of identifying optimal hiding spots for an agent against line-of-sight detection by an adversary whose location is…

A set $D \subseteq \mathbb{N}$ is called $r$-large if every $r$-coloring of $\mathbb{N}$ admits arbitrarily long monochromatic arithmetic progressions $a,a+d,...,a+(k-1)d$ with gap $d \in D$. Closely related to largeness is accessibility; a…

We address pairs $(X, Y)$ of metric spaces with the following property: for every mapping $f: X \to Y$ the existence of points $x, y \in X$ with $d(f(x),f(y)) > d(x,y)$ implies the existence of $\widetilde{x}, \widetilde{y}\in X$ for which…
