We revisit a standard polygon containment problem: given a convex $k$-gon $P$ and a convex $n$-gon $Q$ in the plane, find a placement of $P$ inside $Q$ under translation and rotation (if it exists), or more generally, find the largest copy…

Let $P$ and $Q$ be two simple polygons in the plane of total complexity $n$, each of which can be decomposed into at most $k$ convex parts. We present an $(1-\varepsilon)$-approximation algorithm, for finding the translation of $Q$, which…

We revisit the classical problem of determining the largest copy of a simple polygon $P$ that can be placed into a simple polygon $Q$. Despite significant effort, known algorithms require high polynomial running times. (Barequet and…

Given two convex polygons $P$ and $Q$ with $n$ and $m$ edges, the maximum overlap problem is to find a translation of $P$ that maximizes the area of its intersection with $Q$. We give the first randomized algorithm for this problem with…

Let $P$ be a convex polyhedron and $Q$ be a convex polygon with $n$ vertices in total in three-dimensional space. We present a deterministic algorithm that finds a translation vector $v \in \mathbb{R}^3$ maximizing the overlap area $|P \cap…

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…

We consider the following geometric optimization problem: find a maximum-area rectangle and a maximum-perimeter rectangle contained in a given convex polygon with $n$ vertices. We give exact algorithms that solve these problems in time…

We consider the following geometric optimization problem: find a convex polygon of maximum area contained in a given simple polygon $P$ with $n$ vertices. We give a randomized near-linear-time $(1-\varepsilon)$-approximation algorithm for…

For a polyhedron $P$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$, denote by $|P|$ its combinatorial complexity, i.e., the number of faces of all dimensions of the polyhedra. In this paper, we revisit the classic problem of preprocessing polyhedra independently so…

A fundamental problem in shape matching and geometric similarity is computing the maximum area overlap between two polygons under translation. For general simple polygons, the best-known algorithm runs in $O((nm)^2 \log(nm))$ time [Mount,…

Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in an axis-parallel rectangle $B$ in the plane. We present an $O(n\alpha(n)\log^4 n)$-time algorithm to preprocess $P$ into a data structure of size $O(n\alpha(n)\log^3 n)$, such that, given a query point $q$,…

We give an overview of the 2024 Computational Geometry Challenge targeting the problem \textsc{Maximum Polygon Packing}: Given a convex region $P$ in the plane, and a collection of simple polygons $Q_1, \ldots, Q_n$, each $Q_i$ with a…

A small polygon is a polygon of unit diameter. The maximal area of a small polygon with $n=2m$ vertices is not known when $m\ge 7$. Finding the largest small $n$-gon for a given number $n\ge 3$ can be formulated as a nonconvex quadratically…

A convex polygon Q is circumscribed about a convex polygon P if every vertex of P lies on at least one side of Q. We present an algorithm for finding a maximum area convex polygon circumscribed about any given convex n-gon in O(n^3) time.…

In the maximum independent set of convex polygons problem, we are given a set of $n$ convex polygons in the plane with the objective of selecting a maximum cardinality subset of non-overlapping polygons. Here we study a special case of the…

Consider the problem of fnding the smallest area convex $k$-gon containing $n\in\mathbb{N}$ congruent disks without an overlap. By using Wegner inequality in sphere packing theory we give a lower bound for the area of such polygons. For…

We study the two-dimensional geometric knapsack problem for convex polygons. Given a set of weighted convex polygons and a square knapsack, the goal is to select the most profitable subset of the given polygons that fits non-overlappingly…

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…

We complete the complexity classification by degree of minimizing a polynomial over the integer points in a polyhedron in $\mathbb{R}^2$. Previous work shows that optimizing a quadratic polynomial over the integer points in a polyhedral…

Let $s$ be a point in a polygonal domain $\mathcal{P}$ of $h-1$ holes and $n$ vertices. We consider a quickest visibility query problem. Given a query point $q$ in $\mathcal{P}$, the goal is to find a shortest path in $\mathcal{P}$ to move…
