One approach to studying the Fr\'echet distance is to consider curves that satisfy realistic assumptions. By now, the most popular realistic assumption for curves is $c$-packedness. Existing algorithms for computing the Fr\'echet distance…

All known algorithms for the Fr\'echet distance between curves proceed in two steps: first, they construct an efficient oracle for the decision version; second, they use this oracle to find the optimum from a finite set of critical values.…

An arrangement of $n$ curves in the plane is given. The query is a point $q$ and the goal is to find the face of the arrangement that contains $q$. A data-structure for point-location, preprocesses the curves into a data structure of…

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…

We propose a method for visualizing uncertain set systems, which differs from previous set visualization approaches that are based on certainty (an element either belongs to a set or not). Our method is inspired by storyline visualizations…

Uncertainty relations for particle motion in curved spaces are discussed. The relations are shown to be topologically invariant. New coordinate system on a sphere appropriate to the problem is proposed. The case of a sphere is considered in…

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…

We present a subgradient method for minimizing non-smooth, non-Lipschitz convex optimization problems. The only structure assumed is that a strictly feasible point is known. We extend the work of Renegar [5] by taking a different…

We study coresets for various types of range counting queries on uncertain data. In our model each uncertain point has a probability density describing its location, sometimes defined as k distinct locations. Our goal is to construct a…
