Given a finite set $V$, a convexity $\mathscr{C}$, is a collection of subsets of $V$ that contains both the empty set and the set $V$ and is closed under intersections. The elements of $\mathscr{C}$ are called convex sets. The digital…

We consider the problem of computing, given a set S of n points in the plane, which points of S are vertices of the convex hull of S. For certain variations of this problem, different proofs exist that the complexity of this problem in the…

A walk $W$ between vertices $u$ and $v$ of a graph $G$ is called a {\em tolled walk between $u$ and $v$} if $u$, as well as $v$, has exactly one neighbour in $W$. A set $S \subseteq V(G)$ is {\em toll convex} if the vertices contained in…

We prove that, given a closure function the smallest preimage of a closed set can be calculated in polynomial time in the number of closed sets. This confirms a conjecture of Albenque and Knauer and implies that there is a polynomial time…

We present a novel 2D convex hull peeling algorithm for outlier detection, which repeatedly removes the point on the hull that decreases the hull's area the most. To find k outliers among n points, one simply peels k points. The algorithm…

Given a set of $n$ points $P$ in the plane, the first layer $L_1$ of $P$ is formed by the points that appear on $P$'s convex hull. In general, a point belongs to layer $L_i$, if it lies on the convex hull of the set $P \setminus…
