For a class of orthogonal polynomials related to the $q$-Meixner polynomials corresponding to an indeterminate moment problem we give a one-parameter family of orthogonality measures. For these measures we complement the orthogonal…
A novel method has been introduced to solve a point inclusion in a polygon problem. The method is applicable to convex as well as non-convex polygons which are not self-intersecting. The introduced method is independent of rounding off…
We resolve the periodic square peg problem using a simple Lagrangian Floer homology argument. Inscribed squares are interpreted as intersections between two non-displaceable Lagrangian sub-manifolds of a symplectic 4-torus.
This paper proves a corner occupying theorem for the two-dimensional integral rectangle packing problem, stating that if it is possible to orthogonally place n arbitrarily given integral rectangles into an integral rectangular container…
Let $P$ be a simple polygon with $n$ vertices, and let $A$ be a set of $m$ points or line segments inside $P$. We develop data structures that can efficiently count the number of objects from $A$ that are visible to a query point or a query…
In the maximum independent set of convex polygons problem, we are given a set of $n$ convex polygons in the plane with the objective of selecting a maximum cardinality subset of non-overlapping polygons. Here we study a special case of the…
Initial orbit determination (IOD) from line-of-sight (i.e., bearing) measurements is a classical problem in astrodynamics. Indeed, there are many well-established methods for performing the IOD task when given three line-of-sight…
We study multiple orthogonal polynomials exploiting their explicit determinantal representation in terms of moments. Our reasoning follows that applied to solve the Hermite-Pad\'{e} approximation and interpolation problems. We study also…
This paper proposed a method to judge whether the point is inside or outside of the simple convex polygon by the intersection of the vertical line. It determined the point to an area enclosed by two straight lines, then convert the problem…
We study a variant of a polygon partition problem, introduced by Chung, Iwama, Liao, and Ahn [ISAAC'25]. Given orthogonal unit vectors $\mathbf{u},\mathbf{v}\in \mathbb{R}^2$ and a polygon $P$ with $n$ vertices, we partition $P$ into…
In this survey paper, we present open problems and conjectures on visibility graphs of points, segments and polygons along with necessary backgrounds for understanding them.
In this paper, we start with a variation of the star cover problem called the Two-Squirrel problem. Given a set $P$ of $2n$ points in the plane, and two sites $c_1$ and $c_2$, compute two $n$-stars $S_1$ and $S_2$ centered at $c_1$ and…
A generalization of Rip\`a's square spiral solution for the $n \times n \times \cdots \times n$ Points Upper Bound Problem. Additionally, we provide a non-trivial lower bound for the $k$-dimensional $n_1 \times n_2 \times \cdots \times n_k$…
We discuss a fast approximate solution to the associated classical -- classical orthogonal polynomial connection problem. We first show that associated classical orthogonal polynomials are solutions to a fourth-order quadratic eigenvalue…
A polygon C is an intersecting polygon for a set O of objects in the plane if C intersects each object in O, where the polygon includes its interior. We study the problem of computing the minimum-perimeter intersecting polygon and the…
We address the problem of constructing approximations based on orthogonal polynomials that preserve an arbitrary set of moments of a given function without loosing the spectral convergence property. To this aim, we compute the constrained…
In this paper, we study two classic optimization problems: minimum geometric dominating set and set cover. In the dominating-set problem, for a given set of objects in {the} plane as input, the objective is to choose a minimum number of…
We present a 4-approximation algorithm for the problem of placing a fewest guards on a 1.5D terrain so that every point of the terrain is seen by at least one guard. This improves on the currently best approximation factor of 5. Our method…
Given a set of $n$ points in the plane, and a parameter $k$, we consider the problem of computing the minimum (perimeter or area) axis-aligned rectangle enclosing $k$ points. We present the first near quadratic time algorithm for this…
Given a metric space $(F \cup C, d)$, we consider star covers of $C$ with balanced loads. A star is a pair $(f, C_f)$ where $f \in F$ and $C_f \subseteq C$, and the load of a star is $\sum_{c \in C_f} d(f, c)$. In minimum load $k$-star…
