Coverings of convex bodies have emerged as a central component in the design of efficient solutions to approximation problems involving convex bodies. Intuitively, given a convex body $K$ and $\epsilon> 0$, a covering is a collection of…

We revisit the problem of finding a minimum enclosing ball with differential privacy: Given a set of $n$ points in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$ and an integer $t\leq n$, the goal is to find a ball of the smallest radius $r_{opt}$…

In this paper we study the problem of maximizing the distance to a given point $C_0$ over a polytope $\mathcal{P}$. Assuming that the polytope is circumscribed by a known ball we construct an intersection of balls which preserves the…

We expand the basic geometric elements of the simplex method to linear programs in locally convex topological vector spaces and provide conditions under which the method converges in value to optimality. This setting generalizes many…

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…

Algorithms for minimal enclosing ball problems are often geometric in nature. To highlight the metric ingredients underlying their efficiency, we focus here on a particularly simple geodesic-based method. A recent subgradient-based study…

We consider a spectrum of geometric optimization problems motivated by contexts such as satellite communication and astrophysics. In the problem Minimum Scan Cover with Angular Costs, we are given a graph $G$ that is embedded in Euclidean…

We present algorithms for the Max-Cover and Max-Unique-Cover problems in the data stream model. The input to both problems are $m$ subsets of a universe of size $n$ and a value $k\in [m]$. In Max-Cover, the problem is to find a collection…

The minimum convex cover problem seeks to cover a polygon $P$ with the fewest convex polygons that lie within $P$. This problem is $\exists\mathbb R$-complete, and the best previously known algorithm, due to Eidenbenz and Widmayer (2001),…

In (the surface of) a convex polytope P^n in R^n+1, for small prescribed volume, geodesic balls about some vertex minimize perimeter. This revision corrects a mistake in the mass bound argument in the proof of Theorem 3.8.

In a recent work, Esmer et al. describe a simple method - Approximate Monotone Local Search - to obtain exponential approximation algorithms from existing parameterized exact algorithms, polynomial-time approximation algorithms and, more…

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…

Let $S$ be a set of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$. A Steiner convex partition is a tiling of ${\rm conv}(S)$ with empty convex bodies. For every integer $d$, we show that $S$ admits a Steiner convex partition with at most $\lceil…

Given a convex polytope $P$ defined with $n$ vertices in $\mathbb{R}^3$, this paper presents an algorithm to preprocess $P$ to compute routing tables at every vertex of $P$ so that a data packet can be routed on $P$ from any vertex of $P$…

Based on the characterization of the polyconvex envelope of isotropic functions by their signed singular value representations, we propose a simple algorithm for the numerical approximation of the polyconvex envelope. Instead of operating…

This paper studies the polynomial basis that generates the smallest $n$-simplex enclosing a given $n^{\text{th}}$-degree polynomial curve in $\mathbb{R}^n$. Although the Bernstein and B-Spline polynomial bases provide feasible solutions to…

Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in the plane. We consider a variation of the classical Erd\H{o}s-Szekeres problem, presenting efficient algorithms with $O(n^3)$ running time and $O(n^2)$ space complexity that compute: (1) A subset $S$ of $P$…

We study the problem of rotating a simple polygon to contain the maximum number of elements from a given point set in the plane. We consider variations of this problem where the rotation center is a given point or lies on a line segment, a…

This paper is about minimum cost constrained selection of inputs and outputs for generic arbitrary pole placement. The input-output set is constrained in the sense that the set of states that each input can influence and the set of states…

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…
