Given a dynamic graph subject to insertions and deletions of edges, a natural question is whether the graph presently admits a planar embedding. We give a deterministic fully-dynamic algorithm for general graphs, running in amortized…
We study dynamic $(1+\epsilon)$-approximation algorithms for the all-pairs shortest paths problem in unweighted undirected $n$-node $m$-edge graphs under edge deletions. The fastest algorithm for this problem is a randomized algorithm with…
An incremental approach for computation of convex hull for data points in two-dimensions is presented. The algorithm is not output-sensitive and costs a time that is linear in the size of data points at input. Graham's scan is applied only…
The widespread use of graph data in various applications and the highly dynamic nature of today's networks have made it imperative to analyze structural trends in dynamic graphs on a continual basis. The shortest path is a fundamental…
We consider space-bounded computations on a random-access machine (RAM) where the input is given on a read-only random-access medium, the output is to be produced to a write-only sequential-access medium, and the available workspace allows…
Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in the plane. We consider a variation of the classical Erd\H{o}s-Szekeres problem, presenting efficient algorithms with $O(n^3)$ running time and $O(n^2)$ space complexity that compute: (1) A subset $S$ of $P$…
We develop a sketching algorithm to find the point on the convex hull of a dataset, closest to a query point outside it. Studying the convex hull of datasets can provide useful information about their geometric structure and their…
Conditional lower bounds for dynamic graph problems has received a great deal of attention in recent years. While many results are now known for the fully-dynamic case and such bounds often imply worst-case bounds for the partially dynamic…
Many dynamic graph algorithms have an amortized update time, rather than a stronger worst-case guarantee. But amortized data structures are not suitable for real-time systems, where each individual operation has to be executed quickly. For…
Dynamic trees are a well-studied and fundamental building block of dynamic graph algorithms dating back to the seminal work of Sleator and Tarjan [STOC'81, (1981), pp. 114-122]. The problem is to maintain a tree subject to online edge…
Recently, the centroidal momentum dynamics has received substantial attention to plan dynamically consistent motions for robots with arms and legs in multi-contact scenarios. However, it is also non convex which renders any optimization…
The present paper is concerned with a recursive algorithm as a preprocessing step to find the convex hull of $n$ random points uniformly distributed in the plane. For such a set of points, it is shown that eliminating all but $O(\log n)$ of…
Given a graph, the shortest-path problem requires finding a sequence of edges with minimum cumulative length that connects a source vertex to a target vertex. We consider a variant of this classical problem in which the position of each…
This paper presents an alternate choice of computing the convex hulls (CHs) for planar point sets. We firstly discard the interior points and then sort the remaining vertices by x- / y- coordinates separately, and later create a group…
In many dynamic systems, decisions on system operation are updated over time, and the decision maker requires an online learning approach to optimize its strategy in response to the changing environment. When the loss and constraint…

Planar graph navigation is an important problem with significant implications to both point location in geometric data structures and routing in networks. However, whilst a number of algorithms and existence proofs have been proposed, very…
