In this paper we consider aspects of geometric observability for hypergraphs, extending our earlier work from the uniform to the nonuniform case. Hypergraphs, a generalization of graphs, allow hyperedges to connect multiple nodes and…
An ortho-polygon visibility representation $\Gamma$ of a $1$-plane graph $G$ (OPVR of $G$) is an embedding preserving drawing that maps each vertex of $G$ to a distinct orthogonal polygon and each edge of $G$ to a vertical or horizontal…
A pseudoline arrangement graph is a planar graph induced by an embedding of a (simple) pseudoline arrangement. We study the corresponding graph realization problem and properties of pseudoline arrangement graphs. In the first part, we give…
The horizontal visibility algorithm has been recently introduced as a mapping between time series and networks. The challenge lies in characterizing the structure of time series (and the processes that generated those series) using the…
IC-planar graphs are those graphs that admit a drawing where no two crossed edges share an end-vertex and each edge is crossed at most once. They are a proper subfamily of the 1-planar graphs. Given an embedded IC-planar graph $G$ with $n$…
Consider two entities with constant but not necessarily equal velocities, moving on two given piece-wise linear trajectories inside a simple polygon $P$. The Trajectory Range Visibility problem deals with determining the sub-trajectories on…
In this paper, we consider the problem of representing graphs by triangles whose sides touch. As a simple necessary condition, we show that pairs of vertices must have a small common neighborhood. On the positive side, we present linear…
This paper gives an introduction to the problem of mapping simple polygons with autonomous agents. We focus on minimalistic agents that move from vertex to vertex along straight lines inside a polygon, using their sensors to gather local…
A rectangle visibility graph (RVG) is represented by assigning to each vertex a rectangle in the plane with horizontal and vertical sides in such a way that edges in the graph correspond to unobstructed horizontal and vertical lines of…
The \emph{thinness} of a graph is a width parameter that generalizes some properties of interval graphs, which are exactly the graphs of thinness one. Graphs with thinness at most two include, for example, bipartite convex graphs. Many…
This thesis focuses on two concepts which are widely studied in the field of computational geometry. Namely, visibility and unit disk graphs. In the field of visibility, we have studied the conflict-free chromatic guarding of polygons, for…
Let G(V,E) be a simple graph and let X subset of V. Two vertices u and v are said to be X-visible if there exists a shortest u,v-path P such that V(P) intersection X is a subset of {u, v}. A set X is called a mutual-visibility set of G if…
A closed curve in the plane is weakly simple if it is the limit (in the Fr\'echet metric) of a sequence of simple closed curves. We describe an algorithm to determine whether a closed walk of length n in a simple plane graph is weakly…
We automatically verify the crucial steps in the original proof of correctness of an algorithm which, given a geometric graph satisfying certain additional properties removes edges in a systematic way for producing a connected graph in…
Many problems in Discrete and Computational Geometry deal with simple polygons or polygonal regions. Many algorithms and data-structures perform considerably faster, if the underlying polygonal region has low local complexity. One obstacle…
Recent literature posed the problem of characterising the graph degree sequences with exactly one $3$-polytopal (i.e. planar, $3$-connected) realisation. This seems to be a difficult problem in full generality. In this paper, we…
A new alternative method to approximate the Visibility Graph (VG) of a time series has been introduced here. It exploits the fact that most of the nodes in the resulting network are not connected to those that are far away from them. This…
We devise the following dynamic algorithms for both maintaining as well as querying for the visibility and weak visibility polygons amid vertex insertions and/or deletions to the simple polygon. * A fully-dynamic algorithm for maintaining…
A pseudo-triangle is a simple polygon with exactly three convex vertices, and all other vertices (if any) are distributed on three concave chains. A pseudo-triangulation~$\mathcal{T}$ of a point set~$P$ in~$\mathbb{R}^2$ is a partitioning…
The purpose of this note is to give a simple proof for a necessary and sufficient condition for visibility paths in simple polygons. A visibility path is a curve such that every point inside a simple polygon is visible from at least one…
