Parallelograms are one of the basic building blocks in two-dimensional tiling. They have important applications in a wide variety of science and engineering fields, such as wireless communication networks, urban transportation, operations…
The VC-dimension, introduced by Vapnik and Chervonenkis in 1968 in the context of learning theory, has in recent years provided a rich source of problems in combinatorial geometry. Given $E\subseteq \mathbb{F}_q^d$ or $E\subseteq…
We develop a framework for algorithms finding the diameter in graphs of bounded distance Vapnik-Chervonenkis dimension, in (parameterized) subquadratic time complexity. The class of bounded distance VC-dimension graphs is wide, including,…
In this paper we systematically study various properties of the distance graph in ${\Bbb F}_q^d$, the $d$-dimensional vector space over the finite field ${\Bbb F}_q$ with $q$ elements. In the process we compute the diameter of distance…
In this paper the concept of homothetic parallelogram is introduced. This concept is a generalization of Varignon's and Wittenbauer's parallelograms of an arbitrary quadrangle, whose diagonals are not parallel. A formula for the area and…
The Vapnik-Chervonenkis (VC) dimension of the set of half-spaces of R^d with frontiers parallel to the axes is computed exactly. It is shown that it is much smaller than the intuitive value of d. A good approximation based on the Stirling's…
The Vapnik-\v{C}ervonenkis dimension is a complexity measure of set-systems, or hypergraphs. Its application to graphs is usually done by considering the sets of neighborhoods of the vertices (cf. Alon et al. (2006) and Chepoi, Estellon,…
The Vapnik-Chervonenkis dimension provides a notion of complexity for systems of sets. If the VC dimension is small, then knowing this can drastically simplify fundamental computational tasks such as classification, range counting, and…
Random geometric graphs (RGGs) are commonly used to model networked systems that depend on the underlying spatial embedding. We concern ourselves with the probability distribution of an RGG, which is crucial for studying its random…
Given two point sets in the plane, we study the minimization of the bottleneck distance between a point set B and an equally-sized subset of a point set A under translations. We relate this problem to a Voronoi-type diagram and derive…
The distributions of the random distances associated with hexagons, rhombuses and triangles have been derived and verified in the existing work. All of these geometric shapes are related to each other and have various applications in…
We study typical distances in a geometric random graph on the hyperbolic plane. Introduced by Krioukov et al.~\cite{ar:Krioukov} as a model for complex networks, $N$ vertices are drawn randomly within a bounded subset of the hyperbolic…
We study the VC-dimension of the set system on the vertex set of some graph which is induced by the family of its $k$-connected subgraphs. In particular, we give tight upper and lower bounds for the VC-dimension. Moreover, we show that…
Following recent work on the VC-dimension of subsets of various pseudorandom graphs, we study the VC-dimension of Hamming graphs, which have proved somewhat resistant to the standard techniques in the literature. Our methods are elementary,…
This report presents a new, algorithmic approach to the distributions of the distance between two points distributed uniformly at random in various polygons, based on the extended Kinematic Measure (KM) from integral geometry. We first…
The Vapnik-Chervonenkis (VC) dimension of a collection of subsets of a set is an important combinatorial concept in settings such as discrete geometry and machine learning. In this paper we prove that the VC dimension of the family of…
The notion of a parallelizable distribution has been introduced and investigated. A non-integrable parallelizable distribution carries a natural sub-Riemannian structure. The geometry of this structure has been studied from the bi-viewpoint…
It has been known that the distribution of the random distances between two uniformly distributed points within a convex polygon can be obtained based on its chord length distribution (CLD). In this report, we first verify the existing…
We study Voronoi diagrams for distance functions that add together two convex functions, each taking as its argument the difference between Cartesian coordinates of two planar points. When the functions do not grow too quickly, then the…
The quantale of distance distributions is of fundamental importance for understanding probabilistic metric spaces as enriched categories. Motivated by the categorical interpretation of partial metric spaces, we are led to investigate the…
