We consider hypergraph visualizations that represent vertices as points in the plane and hyperedges as curves passing through the points of their incident vertices. Specifically, we consider several different variants of this problem by (a)…
Recently, $p$-presentation distances for $p\in [1,\infty]$ were introduced for merge trees and multiparameter persistence modules as more sensitive variations of the respective interleaving distances ($p=\infty)$. It is well-known that…
We consider the problem of computing $\ell$-page queue layouts, which are linear arrangements of vertices accompanied with an assignment of the edges to pages from one to $\ell$ that avoid the nesting of edges on any of the pages. Inspired…
For a graph $G$ spanning a metric space, the dilation of a pair of points is the ratio of their distance in the shortest path graph metric to their distance in the metric space. Given a graph $G$ and a budget $k$, a classic problem is to…
This article introduces a general mesh intersection algorithm that exactly computes the so-called Weiler model (also called an arrangement) and that uses it to implement boolean operations with arbitrary multi-operand expressions, CSG…
Many problems in Euclidean geometry, arising in computational design and fabrication, amount to a system of constraints, which is challenging to solve. We suggest a new general approach to the solution, which is to start with analogous…
We consider the problem of finding and enumerating polyominos that can be folded into multiple non-isomorphic boxes. While several computational approaches have been proposed, including SAT, randomized algorithms, and decision diagrams,…
We study the minimum membership geometric set cover, i.e., MMGSC problem [SoCG, 2023] in the continuous setting. In this problem, the input consists of a set $P$ of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^{2}$, and a geometric object $t$, the goal is to…
Given a geometric domain $P$, visibility-based search problems seek routes for one or more mobile agents ("watchmen") to move within $P$ in order to be able to see a portion (or all) of $P$, while optimizing objectives, such as the…
The vertex connectivity of a graph $G$ is the size of the smallest set of vertices $S$ such that $G \setminus S$ is disconnected. For the class of planar graphs, the problem of vertex connectivity is well-studied, both from structural and…
We present the winning implementation of the Seventh Computational Geometry Challenge (CG:SHOP 2025). The task in this challenge was to find non-obtuse triangulations for given planar regions, respecting a given set of constraints…
We present EuLearn, the first surface datasets equitably representing a diversity of topological types. We designed our embedded surfaces of uniformly varying genera relying on random knots, thus allowing our surfaces to knot with…
We propose conformal polynomial coordinates for 2D closed high-order cages, which consist of polynomial curves of any order. The coordinates enable the transformation of the input polynomial curves into polynomial curves of any order. We…
Inspired by the seminal result that a graph and an associated rotation system uniquely determine the topology of a closed manifold, we propose a combinatorial method for reconstruction of surfaces from points. Our method constructs a…
We present a fast algorithm for computing discrete cubical homology of graphs over finite fields with an appropriate characteristic. This algorithm improves on several computational steps compared to constructions in the existing…
We study a general smallest intersecting ball problem and its soft-margin variant in high-dimensional Euclidean spaces for input objects that are compact and convex. These two problems link and unify a series of fundamental problems in…
We study the \emph{geometric $k$-colored crossing number} of complete graphs $\overline{\overline{\text{cr}}}_k(K_n)$, which is the smallest number of monochromatic crossings in any $k$-edge colored straight-line drawing of $K_n$. We…
Given a trajectory $T$ and a distance $\Delta$, we wish to find a set $C$ of curves of complexity at most $\ell$, such that we can cover $T$ with subcurves that each are within Fr\'echet distance $\Delta$ to at least one curve in $C$. We…
{\em Partial domination problem} is a generalization of the {\em minimum dominating set problem} on graphs. Here, instead of dominating all the nodes, one asks to dominate at least a fraction of the nodes of the given graph by choosing a…
In information visualization, the position of symbols often encodes associated data values. When visualizing data elements with both a numerical and a categorical dimension, positioning in the categorical axis admits some flexibility. This…
