For a set $S$ of $n$ disjoint line segments in $\mathbb{R}^{2}$, the visibility counting problem is to preprocess $S$ such that the number of visible segments in $S$ from any query point $p$ can be computed quickly. There have been…

For a polygon P with n vertices, the vertex guarding problem asks for the minimum subset G of P's vertices such that every point in P is seen by at least one point in G. This problem is NP-complete and APX-hard. The first approximation…

Let $P$ be a simple polygon of $n$ vertices. We consider two-point $L_1$ shortest path queries in $P$. We build a data structure of $O(n)$ size in $O(n)$ time such that given any two query points $s$ and $t$, the length of an $L_1$ shortest…

The visibility graph of a simple polygon represents visibility relations between its vertices. Knowing the correct order of the vertices around the boundary of a polygon and its visibility graph, it is an open problem to locate the vertices…

We investigate a practical variant of the well-known polygonal visibility path (watchman) problem. For a polygon $P$, a minimum link visibility path is a polygonal visibility path in $P$ that has the minimum number of links. The problem of…

Let $\mathcal{P}$ be the surface of a convex polyhedron with $n$ vertices. We consider the two-point shortest path query problem for $\mathcal{P}$: Constructing a data structure so that given any two query points $s$ and $t$ on…

In this paper we consider query versions of visibility testing and visibility counting. Let $S$ be a set of $n$ disjoint line segments in $\R^2$ and let $s$ be an element of $S$. Visibility testing is to preprocess $S$ so that we can…

We devise an algorithm for maintaining the visibility polygon of any query point in a dynamic polygonal domain, i.e., as the polygonal domain is modified with vertex insertions and deletions to its obstacles, we update the data structures…

A simple linear search algorithm running in $O(n+mk)$ time is proposed for constructing the lower envelope of $k$ vertices from $m$ monotone polygonal chains in 2D with $n$ vertices in total. This can be applied to output-sensitive…

Given an orthogonal polygon $ P $ with $ n $ vertices, the goal of the watchman route problem is finding a path $ S $ of the minimum length in $ P $ such that every point of the polygon $ P $ is visible from at least one of the point of $ S…

We address the following problem: Given a simple polygon $P$ with $n$ vertices and two points $s$ and $t$ inside it, find a minimum link path between them such that a given target point $q$ is visible from at least one point on the path.…

We devise the following dynamic algorithms for both maintaining as well as querying for the visibility and weak visibility polygons amid vertex insertions and/or deletions to the simple polygon. * A fully-dynamic algorithm for maintaining…

In this paper, we discuss the algorithm engineering aspects of an O(n^2)-time algorithm [6] for computing a minimum-area convex polygon that intersects a set of n isothetic line segments.

In this paper we present new data structures for two extensively studied variants of the orthogonal range searching problem. First, we describe a data structure that supports two-dimensional orthogonal range minima queries in $O(n)$ space…

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 study the following range searching problem: Preprocess a set $P$ of $n$ points in the plane with respect to a set $\mathcal{O}$ of $k$ orientations % , for a constant, in the plane so that given an $\mathcal{O}$-oriented convex polygon…

Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in the plane. In this paper we study a new variant of the circular separability problem in which a point set $P$ is preprocessed so that one can quickly answer queries of the following form: Given a geometric…

Let $\mathcal{P}$ be a set of $h$ pairwise-disjoint polygonal obstacles with a total of $n$ vertices in the plane. We consider the problem of building a data structure that can quickly compute an $L_1$ shortest obstacle-avoiding path…

Determining visibility in planar polygons and arrangements is an important subroutine for many algorithms in computational geometry. In this paper, we report on new implementations, and corresponding experimental evaluations, for two…

We revisit the range minimum query problem and present a new O(n)-space data structure that supports queries in O(1) time. Although previous data structures exist whose asymptotic bounds match ours, our goal is to introduce a new solution…
