We provide a simple proof of the existence of a planar separator by showing that it is an easy consequence of the circle packing theorem. We also reprove other results on separators, including: (A) There is a simple cycle separator if the…
In this paper, we study the linear separability problem for stochastic geometric objects under the well-known unipoint/multipoint uncertainty models. Let $S=S_R \cup S_B$ be a given set of stochastic bichromatic points, and define $n =…
Let T be a triangulation of a simple polygon. A flip in T is the operation of removing one diagonal of T and adding a different one such that the resulting graph is again a triangulation. The flip distance between two triangulations is the…
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…
The separability problem is one of the basic and emergent problems in the present and future quantum information processing. The latter focuses on information and computing based on quantum mechanics and uses quantum bits as its basic…
Two points are randomly selected inside a three-dimensional euclidian cube. The value l of their separation lies somewhere between zero and the length of a diagonal of the cube. The probability density P(l) of the separation is obtained…
We introduce the problem of partitioning 2D regions (usually convex regions) into mutually congruent pieces ('tiles').
Given a set of disjoint simple polygons $\sigma_1, \ldots, \sigma_n$, of total complexity $N$, consider a convexification process that repeatedly replaces a polygon by its convex hull, and any two (by now convex) polygons that intersect by…
This article is a gentle introduction to the mathematical area known as circle packing, the study of the kinds of patterns that can be formed by configurations of non-overlapping circles. The first half of the article is an exposition of…
The existence of a uniform upper bound for the maximum number of limit cycles of planar piecewise linear differential systems with two zones separated by a straight line has been subject of interest of hundreds of papers. After more than 30…
Maximum bipartite matching is a fundamental algorithmic problem which can be solved in polynomial time. We consider a natural variant in which there is a separation constraint: the vertices on one side lie on a path or a grid, and two…
This paper is devoted to study the limit cycle problem of a cubic reversible system with an isochronous center, when it is perturbed inside a class of polynomials. An upper bound of the number of limit cycles is obtained using the Abelian…
In this paper, we propose an efficient clustering technique to solve the problem of clustering in the presence of obstacles. The proposed algorithm divides the spatial area into rectangular cells. Each cell is associated with statistical…
For finite-dimensional bipartite quantum systems, we find the exact size of the largest balls, in spectral $l_p$ norms for $1 \le p \le \infty$, of separable (unentangled) matrices around the identity matrix. This implies a simple and…
In this paper, an efficient algorithm to find the center of the biggest circle inscribed in a given polygon is described. This work was inspired by the publication of Daniel Garcia-Castellanos & Umberto Lombardo and their algorithm used to…
A polycube is an orthogonal polyhedron composed of unit cubes glued together along entire faces, and homeomorphic to a sphere. A layer of a polycube refers to the portion lying between two horizontal cross-sections spaced one unit apart. We…
Given two sets of points $A$ and $B$ in a normed plane, we prove that there are two linearly separable sets $A'$ and $B'$ such that $\mathrm{diam}(A')\leq \mathrm{diam}(A)$, $\mathrm{diam}(B')\leq \mathrm{diam}(B)$, and $A'\cup B'=A\cup B.$…
In this article, we study the problem of finding the longest common separable pattern between several permutations. We give a polynomial-time algorithm when the number of input permutations is fixed and show that the problem is NP-hard for…
We study the problem of determining whether a given frame is scalable, and when it is, understanding the set of all possible scalings. We show that for most frames this is a relatively simple task in that the frame is either not scalable or…
We study the problem of minimizing a nonnegative separable concave function over a compact feasible set. We approximate this problem to within a factor of 1+epsilon by a piecewise-linear minimization problem over the same feasible set. Our…
