In the point set embeddability problem, we are given a plane graph $G$ with $n$ vertices and a point set $S$ with $n$ points. Now the goal is to answer the question whether there exists a straight-line drawing of $G$ such that each vertex…
Given a set of $m$ points and a set of $n$ lines in the plane, we consider the problem of computing the faces of the arrangement of the lines that contain at least one point. In this paper, we present an $O(m^{2/3}n^{2/3}+(n+m)\log n)$ time…
In this paper we present a new algorithm for learning oblique decision trees. Most of the current decision tree algorithms rely on impurity measures to assess the goodness of hyperplanes at each node while learning a decision tree in a…
Given a set $ P $ of $n$ points and a set $ H $ of $n$ half-planes in the plane, we consider the problem of computing a smallest subset of points such that each half-plane contains at least one point of the subset. The previously best…
We revisit the 3SUM problem in the \emph{preprocessed universes} setting. We present an algorithm that, given three sets $A$, $B$, $C$ of $n$ integers, preprocesses them in quadratic time, so that given any subsets $A' \subseteq A$, $B'…
Given $n$ pairwise openly disjoint triangles in 3-space, their vertical depth relation may contain cycles. We show that, for any $\varepsilon>0$, the triangles can be cut into $O(n^{3/2+\varepsilon})$ connected semi-algebraic pieces, whose…
In this work we study quantum algorithms for Hopcroft's problem which is a fundamental problem in computational geometry. Given $n$ points and $n$ lines in the plane, the task is to determine whether there is a point-line incidence. The…

Given a set $P$ of $n$ points and a set $S$ of $n$ segments in the plane, we consider the problem of computing for each segment of $S$ its closest point in $P$. The previously best algorithm solves the problem in $n^{4/3}2^{O(\log^*n)}$…

In this paper, we first consider the subpath convex hull query problem: Given a simple path $\pi$ of $n$ vertices, preprocess it so that the convex hull of any query subpath of $\pi$ can be quickly obtained. Previously, Guibas, Hershberger,…
We consider the classic 3SUM problem: given sets of integers $A, B, C $, determine whether there is a tuple $(a, b, c) \in A \times B \times C$ satisfying $a + b + c = 0$. The 3SUM Hypothesis, central in fine-grained complexity, states that…
The article proposes a new method for finding the triangle-triangle intersection in 3D space, based on the use of computer graphics algorithms -- cutting off segments on the plane when moving and rotating the beginning of the coordinate…
Let $\mathcal{T}$ be a set of $n$ flat (planar) semi-algebraic regions in $\mathbb{R}^3$ of constant complexity (e.g., triangles, disks), which we call plates. We wish to preprocess $\mathcal{T}$ into a data structure so that for a query…
Traditional orthogonal range problems allow queries over a static set of points, each with some value. Dynamic variants allow points to be added or removed, one at a time. To support more powerful updates, we introduce the Grid Range class…
Existing parallel algorithms for wavelet tree construction have a work complexity of $O(n\log\sigma)$. This paper presents parallel algorithms for the problem with improved work complexity. Our first algorithm is based on parallel integer…
While well-known methods to list the intersections of either a list of segments or a complex polygon aim at achieving optimal time-complexity they often do so at the cost of memory comsumption and complex code. Real-life software…
