We show how to compute for $n$-vertex planar graphs in $O(n^{11/6}{\rm polylog}(n))$ expected time the diameter and the sum of the pairwise distances. The algorithms work for directed graphs with real weights and no negative cycles. In…

Computing the diameter of the intersection graphs of objects is a basic problem in computational geometry. Previous works showed that the complexity of computing the diameter mainly depends on the object types: for unit disks and squares in…

This paper presents the first polynomial time algorithm to compute geodesics in a CAT(0) cubical complex in general dimension. The algorithm is a simple iterative method to update breakpoints of a path joining two points using Miller, Owen…

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…

Let $X$ be a set of points in $\mathbb{R}^2$ and $\mathcal{O}$ be a set of geometric objects in $\mathbb{R}^2$, where $|X| + |\mathcal{O}| = n$. We study the problem of computing a minimum subset $\mathcal{O}^* \subseteq \mathcal{O}$ that…

We study the minimum diameter problem for a set of inexact points. By inexact, we mean that the precise location of the points is not known. Instead, the location of each point is restricted to a contineus region ($\impre$ model) or a…

Let $\Gamma$ be a cocompact discrete subgroup of $\mathrm{PSL}_{2}(\mathbb{C})$ and denote by $\mathcal{H}$ the three dimensional upper half-space. For a $p\in\mathcal{H}$, we count the number of points in the orbit $\Gamma p$, according to…

Polygon inclusion problems have been studied extensively in geometric optimization. In this paper, we consider the variant of computing the maximum area parallelograms (MAPs) and all the locally maximal area parallelograms (LMAPs) in a…

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…

For a polygon $P$ with holes in the plane, we denote by $\varrho(P)$ the ratio between the geodesic and the Euclidean diameters of $P$. It is shown that over all convex polygons with $h$~convex holes, the supremum of $\varrho(P)$ is between…

Let $P$ be a path graph of $n$ vertices embedded in a metric space. We consider the problem of adding a new edge to $P$ such that the diameter of the resulting graph is minimized. Previously (in ICALP 2015) the problem was solved in…

We show that for any fixed integer $k \geq 0$, there exists an algorithm that computes the diameter and the eccentricies of all vertices of an input unweighted, undirected $n$-vertex graph of Euler genus at most $k$ in time \[…

The thesis concentrates on two problems in discrete geometry, whose solutions are obtained by analytic, probabilistic and combinatoric tools. The first chapter deals with the strong polarization problem. This states that for any sequence…

Let P be a set of n points in R^3. The 2-center problem for P is to find two congruent balls of minimum radius whose union covers P. We present two randomized algorithms for computing a 2-center of P. The first algorithm runs in O(n^3 log^5…

We accept the implicit challenge of A. Uhlmann in his 1994 paper, "Parallel Lifts and Holonomy along Density Operators: Computable Examples Using O(3)-Orbits," by, in fact, computing the holonomy invariants for rotations of certain n-level…

We study the problem of computing a convex region with bounded area and diameter that contains the maximum number of points from a given point set $P$. We show that this problem can be solved in $O(n^6k)$ time and $O(n^3k)$ space, where $n$…

Coudert et al. (SODA'18) proved that under the Strong Exponential-Time Hypothesis, for any $\epsilon >0$, there is no ${\cal O}(2^{o(k)}n^{2-\epsilon})$-time algorithm for computing the diameter within the $n$-vertex cubic graphs of…

Enclosing depth is a recently introduced depth measure which gives a lower bound to many depth measures studied in the literature. So far, enclosing depth has only been studied from a combinatorial perspective. In this work, we give the…

$\renewcommand{\Re}{\mathbb{R}}\newcommand{\eps}{{\varepsilon}}\newcommand{\poly}{\mathrm{poly}} $In this paper, we study the problem of $L_1$-fitting a shape to a set of $n$ points in $\Re^d$ (where $d$ is a fixed constant), where the…

We present an algorithm for computing the so-called Beer-index of a polygon $P$ in $O(n^2)$ time, where $n$ is the number of corners. The polygon $P$ may have holes. The Beer-index is the probability that two points chosen independently and…
