Graphs have been widely used in real-world applications, in which investigating relations between vertices is an important task. In this paper, we study the problem of generating the k-hop-constrained s-t simple path graph, i.e., the…
We provide four equivalent combinatorial conditions for a simple assembly graph (rigid vertex graph where all vertices are of degree 1 or 4) to have the largest number of Hamiltonian sets of polygonal paths relative its size. These…
We consider the problem of finding edge-disjoint paths between given pairs of vertices in a sufficiently strong $d$-regular expander graph $G$ with $n$ vertices. In particular, we describe a deterministic, polynomial time algorithm which…
In this paper, we continue the study of the Hamiltonian and longest $(s, t)$-paths of supergrid graphs. The Hamiltonian $(s, t)$-path of a graph is a Hamiltonian path between any two given vertices $s$ and $t$ in the graph, and the longest…
In this paper we revisit the classical Edge Disjoint Paths (EDP) problem, where one is given an undirected graph G and a set of terminal pairs P and asks whether G contains a set of pairwise edge-disjoint paths connecting every terminal…
Let $S$ and $D$ each be a set of orthogonal line segments in the plane. A line segment $s\in S$ \emph{stabs} a line segment $s'\in D$ if $s\cap s'\neq\emptyset$. It is known that the problem of stabbing the line segments in $D$ with the…
This paper addresses the problem of finding shortest paths homotopic to a given disjoint set of paths that wind amongst point obstacles in the plane. We present a faster algorithm than previously known.
We consider the problem of finding minimum-link rectilinear paths in rectilinear polygonal domains in the plane. A path or a polygon is rectilinear if all its edges are axis-parallel. Given a set $\mathcal{P}$ of $h$ pairwise-disjoint…
In this work we consider triangulations of point sets in the Euclidean plane, i.e., maximal straight-line crossing-free graphs on a finite set of points. Given a triangulation of a point set, an edge flip is the operation of removing one…
We investigate plane curves intersecting in at most two unibranched points to study the algebraic exceptional set appearing in standard conjectures of diophantine and hyperbolic geometry. Our first result compares the local geometry of two…
Let $E=\{e_1,\ldots,e_n\}$ be a set of $C$-oriented disjoint segments in the plane, where $C$ is a given finite set of orientations that spans the plane, and let $s$ and $t$ be two points. %(We also require that for each orientation in $C$,…
An EPG-representation of a graph $G$ is a collection of paths in a plane square grid, each corresponding to a single vertex of $G$, so that two vertices are adjacent if and only if their corresponding paths share infinitely many points. In…
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…
A graph $G$ is $l$-path Hamiltonian if every path of length not exceeding $l$ is contained in a Hamiltonian cycle. It is well known that a 2-connected, $k$-regular graph $G$ on at most $3k-1$ vertices is edge-Hamiltonian if for every edge…
Geometric embedding of graphs in a point set in the plane is a well known problem. In this paper, the complexity of a variant of this problem, where the point set is bounded by a simple polygon, is considered. Given a point set in the plane…
We revisit the minimum-link path problem: Given a polyhedral domain and two points in it, connect the points by a polygonal path with minimum number of edges. We consider settings where the vertices and/or the edges of the path are…
A path-following control algorithm enables a system's trajectories under its guidance to converge to and evolve along a given geometric desired path. There exist various such algorithms, but many of them can only guarantee local convergence…
We study bipartite maps on the plane with one infinite face and one face of perimeter 2. At first we consider the problem of their enumeration an then study the connection between the combinatorial structure of a map and the degree of its…
Consider a problem where we are given a bipartite graph H with vertices arranged on two horizontal lines in the plane, such that the two sets of vertices placed on the two lines form a bipartition of H. We additionally require that H admits…
Let $G=(V,E,w)$ be a weighted directed graph without negative cycles. For two vertices $s,t\in V$, we let $d_{\le h}(s,t)$ be the minimum, according to the weight function $w$, of a path from $s$ to $t$ that uses at most $h$ edges, or hops.…
