Cell-Paths in Mono- and Bichromatic Line Arrangements in the Plane
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that in every arrangement of n red and blue lines — in general position and not all of the same color — there is a path through a linear number of cells where red and blue lines are crossed alternatingly (and no cell is revisited). When all lines have the same color, and hence the preceding alternating constraint is dropped, we prove that the dual graph of the arrangement always contains a path of length Θ(n).

Compatible Matchings for Bichromatic Plane Straight-line Graphs
Two plane graphs with the same vertex set are compatible if their union is again a plane graph. We consider bichromatic plane straight-line graphs with vertex set S consisting of the same number of red and blue points, and (perfect) matchings which are compatible to them. For several different classes C of graphs, we present lower and upper bounds such that any given graph G(S) ∈ C admits a com...
متن کاملMaximum Plane Trees in Multipartite Geometric Graphs
A geometric graph is a graph whose vertices are points in the plane and whose edges are straight-line segments between the points. A plane spanning tree in a geometric graph is a spanning tree that is non-crossing. Let R and B be two disjoint sets of points in the plane where the points of R are colored red and the points of B are colored blue, and let n = |R ∪ B|. A bichromatic plane spanning ...
متن کاملExpression Analysis of RNA-Binding Motif Gene on Y Chromosome (RBMY) Protein Isoforms in Testis Tissue and a Testicular Germ Cell Cancer-Derived Cell Line (NT2)
a key factor in spermatogenesis and disorders associated with this protein have been recognized to be related to male infertility. Although it was suggested that this protein could have different functions during germ cell development, no studies have been conducted to uncover the mechanism of this potential function yet. Here, we analyzed the expression pattern of RBMY protein isoforms in test...

Background: One of the major paths for drug development is the study of bioactivities of natural products. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the cytotoxic effects of aqueous extract of whole Cuscuta chinensis Lam., which is a traditional medicinal herb commonly used in Iran and other oriental countries, on the human caucasian acute lymphoblastic leukemia (CCRF-CEM) and another hum...
متن کاملQuasi - Parallel Segments and Characterization of 1 Unique Bichromatic Matchings
5 Given n red and n blue points in general position in the plane, it is well-known 6 that there is a perfect matching formed by non-crossing line segments. We charac-7 terize the bichromatic point sets which admit exactly one non-crossing matching. 8 We give several geometric descriptions of such sets, and find an O(n log n) algorithm 9 that checks whether a given bichromatic set has this prope...
