In this paper, we consider the following query problem: given two weighted point sets $A$ and $B$ in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$, we want to quickly determine that whether their earth mover's distance (EMD) is larger or smaller than…
Point cloud registration is the process of aligning a pair of point sets via searching for a geometric transformation. Recent works leverage the power of deep learning for registering a pair of point sets. However, unfortunately, deep…
In real applications, database systems should be able to manage and process data with uncertainty. Any real dataset may have missing or rounded values, also the values of data may change by time. So, it becomes important to handle these…
In this paper, we investigate a sheaf-theoretic interpretation of stratification learning from geometric and topological perspectives. Our main result is the construction of stratification learning algorithms framed in terms of a sheaf on a…
The paper reports a generalized expression for filling the congruent circles (of radius r) in a circle (of radius R). First, a generalized expression for the biggest circle (r) inscribed in the nth part of the bigger circle (R) was…
A beacon is a point-like object which can be enabled to exert a magnetic pull on other point-like objects in space. Those objects then move towards the beacon in a greedy fashion until they are either stuck at an obstacle or reach the…
A simple method to produce a random order type is to take the order type of a random point set. We conjecture that many probability distributions on order types defined in this way are heavily concentrated and therefore sample inefficiently…
Can an infinite-strength magnetic beacon always ``catch'' an iron ball, when the beacon is a point required to be remain nonstrictly outside a polygon, and the ball is a point always moving instantaneously and maximally toward the beacon…
In this paper, we propose several regular covers with identical sectors that observe the strip in the same direction, and we carried out their analysis, which allows choosing the best coverage model and the best parameters of the sector.
We present a new game, Dots & Polygons, played on a planar point set. Players take turns connecting two points, and when a player closes a (simple) polygon, the player scores its area. We show that deciding whether the game can be won from…
Whereas knowledge of a crystalline material's unit cell is fundamental to understanding the material's properties and behavior, there are not obvious analogues to unit cells for disordered materials despite the frequent existence of…
We show how to construct $(1+\varepsilon)$-spanner over a set $P$ of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ that is resilient to a catastrophic failure of nodes. Specifically, for prescribed parameters $\vartheta,\varepsilon \in (0,1)$, the computed…
We define an 'oriented convex region' as a convex region with a direction of symmetry. An earlier article had touched upon isosceles triangles, rectangles and ellipses. Here, we examine some more possible oriented containers - semicircles,…
We study a turn-based game in a simply connected polygonal environment $Q$ between a pursuer $P$ and an adversarial evader $E$. Both players can move in a straight line to any point within unit distance during their turn. The pursuer $P$…
Given a Laurent polynomial F and its amoeba AF. We relate here the question of the BIBO stability of a multi linear time invariant system with a rational transfer function. We formulate very simple criteria for BIBO strong or weak stability…
An $\epsilon$-approximate incidence between a point and some geometric object (line, circle, plane, sphere) occurs when the point and the object lie at distance at most $\epsilon$ from each other. Given a set of points and a set of objects,…
Let $V$ be a set of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$, called voters. A point $p\in \mathbb{R}^d$ is a plurality point for $V$ when the following holds: for every $q\in\mathbb{R}^d$ the number of voters closer to $p$ than to $q$ is at least the…
Piecewise-linear (PL) Morse theory and discrete Morse theory are used in shape analysis tasks to investigate the topological features of discretized spaces. In spite of their common origin in smooth Morse theory, various notions of critical…
Fixtures for constraining the movement of parts have been extensively investigated in robotics, since they are essential for using robots in automated manufacturing. This paper deals with the design and optimized synthesis of a special type…
In this work, we initiate the research about the Gathering problem for robots with limited viewing range in the three-dimensional Euclidean space. In the Gathering problem, a set of initially scattered robots is required to gather at the…
