We reduce the problem of computing a rectilinear shortest path between two given points s and t in the splinegonal domain \calS to the problem of computing a rectilinear shortest path between two points in the polygonal domain. As part of…

Let $\mathcal{O}$ be a set of $k$ orientations in the plane, and let $P$ be a simple polygon in the plane. Given two points $p,q$ inside $P$, we say that $p$ $\mathcal{O}$-\emph{sees} $q$ if there is an $\mathcal{O}$-\emph{staircase}…

Let $k \geq 2$ be a constant. Given any $k$ convex polygons in the plane with a total of $n$ vertices, we present an $O(n\log^{2k-3}n)$ time algorithm that finds a translation of each of the polygons such that the area of intersection of…

A rectilinear Steiner tree for a set $P$ of points in $\mathbb{R}^2$ is a tree that connects the points in $P$ using horizontal and vertical line segments. The goal of Minimal Rectilinear Steiner Tree is to find a rectilinear Steiner tree…

Contact graphs of isothetic rectangles unify many concepts from applications including VLSI and architectural design, computational geometry, and GIS. Minimizing the area of their corresponding {\em rectangular layouts} is a key problem. We…

The {\it matrix-chain multiplication} problem is a classic problem that is widely taught to illustrate dynamic programming. The textbook solution runs in $\theta(n^3)$ time. However, there is a complex $O(n \log n)$-time method \cite{HU82},…

Let $P$ be a finite set of points in the plane in general position, that is, no three points of $P$ are on a common line. We say that a set $H$ of five points from $P$ is a $5$-hole in $P$ if $H$ is the vertex set of a convex $5$-gon…

This paper describes a novel and fast, simple and robust algorithm with O(N) expected complexity which enables to decrease run time needed to find the maximum distance of two points in E2. It can be easily modified for the E3 case in…

Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in $\Re^2$. For a parameter $\varepsilon\in (0,1)$, a subset $C\subseteq P$ is an \emph{$\varepsilon$-kernel} of $P$ if the projection of the convex hull of $C$ approximates that of $P$ within…

This paper studies second-order methods for convex-concave minimax optimization. Monteiro and Svaiter (2012) proposed a method to solve the problem with an optimal iteration complexity of $\mathcal{O}(\epsilon^{-3/2})$ to find an…

We describe algorithmic results for two crucial aspects of allocating resources on computational hardware devices with partial reconfigurability. By using methods from the field of computational geometry, we derive a method that allows…

In this paper we look for the convex hull of a set using the geometric evolution by minimal curvature of a hypersurface that surrounds the set. To find the convex hull, we study the large time behavior of solutions to an obstacle problem…

We study a fundamental problem in Computational Geometry, the planar two-center problem. In this problem, the input is a set $S$ of $n$ points in the plane and the goal is to find two smallest congruent disks whose union contains all points…

Given a point $s$ and a set of $h$ pairwise disjoint polygonal obstacles of totally $n$ vertices in the plane, we present a new algorithm for building an $L_1$ shortest path map of size O(n) in $O(T)$ time and O(n) space such that for any…

We address the long-standing problem of computing the region of attraction (ROA) of a target set (e.g., a neighborhood of an equilibrium point) of a controlled nonlinear system with polynomial dynamics and semialgebraic state and input…

Given a set $\Sigma$ of spheres in $\mathbb{E}^d$, with $d\ge{}3$ and $d$ odd, having a fixed number of $m$ distinct radii $\rho_1,\rho_2,...,\rho_m$, we show that the worst-case combinatorial complexity of the convex hull $CH_d(\Sigma)$ of…

We consider the planar dynamic convex hull problem. In the literature, solutions exist supporting the insertion and deletion of points in poly-logarithmic time and various queries on the convex hull of the current set of points in…

We devise a polynomial-time approximation scheme for the classical geometric problem of finding an approximate short path amid weighted regions. In this problem, a triangulated region P comprising of n vertices, a positive weight associated…

Finding the coordinate-wise maxima and the convex hull of a planar point set are probably the most classic problems in computational geometry. We consider these problems in the self-improving setting. Here, we have $n$ distributions…

Given a set $P$ of $n$ points and a set $S$ of $n$ segments in the plane, we consider the problem of computing for each segment of $S$ its closest point in $P$. The previously best algorithm solves the problem in $n^{4/3}2^{O(\log^*n)}$…
