We consider the problem of routing a data packet through the visibility graph of a polygonal domain $P$ with $n$ vertices and $h$ holes. We may preprocess $P$ to obtain a label and a routing table for each vertex of $P$. Then, we must be…

Given a grid terrain T and a viewpoint v, the viewshed of v is the set of grid points of T that are visible from v. To decide whether a point p is visible one needs to interpolate the elevation of the terrain along the line-of-sight vp.…

Consider two entities with constant but not necessarily equal velocities, moving on two given piece-wise linear trajectories inside a simple polygon $P$. The Trajectory Range Visibility problem deals with determining the sub-trajectories on…

We investigate the problem of partitioning a rectilinear polygon $P$ with $n$ vertices and no holes % with no holes into rectangles using disjoint line segments drawn inside $P$ under two optimality criteria. In the minimum ink partition,…

We consider the problem of finding a geodesic disc of smallest radius containing at least $k$ points from a set of $n$ points in a simple polygon that has $m$ vertices, $r$ of which are reflex vertices. We refer to such a disc as a SKEG…

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…

In this paper we are proving the following fact. Let P be an arbitrary simple polygon, and let S be an arbitrary set of 15 points inside P. Then there exists a subset T of S that is not "visually discernible", that is, T is not equal to the…

Given a zero-dimensional polynomial system consisting of n integer polynomials in n variables, we propose a certified and complete method to compute all complex solutions of the system as well as a corresponding separating linear form l…

We present an algorithm that computes the geodesic center of a given polygonal domain. The running time of our algorithm is $O(n^{12+\epsilon})$ for any $\epsilon>0$, where $n$ is the number of corners of the input polygonal domain. Prior…

The Meeting problem for $k\geq 2$ searchers in a polygon $P$ (possibly with holes) consists in making the searchers move within $P$, according to a distributed algorithm, in such a way that at least two of them eventually come to see each…

We study the problem of colouring the vertices of a polygon, such that every viewer in it can see a unique colour. The goal is to minimise the number of colours used. This is also known as the conflict-free chromatic guarding problem with…

We study the problem of finding maximum-area rectangles contained in a polygon in the plane. There has been a fair amount of work for this problem when the rectangles have to be axis-aligned or when the polygon is convex. We consider this…

A rectangle visibility representation (RVR) of a graph consists of an assignment of axis-aligned rectangles to vertices such that for every edge there exists a horizontal or vertical line of sight between the rectangles assigned to its…

We show that the shadow vertex algorithm can be used to compute a short path between a given pair of vertices of a polytope P = {x : Ax \leq b} along the edges of P, where A \in R^{m \times n} is a real-valued matrix. Both, the length of…

In this work, we designed algorithms for the point in polygon problem based on the ray casting algorithm using equations from vector geometry. The algorithms were implemented using the python programming language. We tested the algorithm…

A new algorithm for computing a point on a polynomial or rational curve in B\'{e}zier form is proposed. The method has a geometric interpretation and uses only convex combinations of control points. The new algorithm's computational…

Visibility graph of a polygon corresponds to its internal diagonals and boundary edges. For each vertex on the boundary of the polygon, we have a vertex in this graph and if two vertices of the polygon see each other there is an edge…

We design an algorithm to compute the Newton polytope of the resultant, known as resultant polytope, or its orthogonal projection along a given direction. The resultant is fundamental in algebraic elimination, optimization, and geometric…

We consider extending the visibility polygon of a given point $q$, inside a simple polygon $P$ by converting some edges of $P$ to mirrors. We will show that several variations of the problem of finding mirror-edges to add precisely $k$…

We explore the problem of $M$-guarding polygons with holes using $k$-visibility guards, where a set of guards is said to $M$-guard a polygon if every point in the polygon is visible to at least $M$ guards, with the constraint that there may…
