In this paper we solve the following optimization problem: Given a simple polygon P , what is the maximum-area polygon that is axially symmetric and is contained by P? We propose an algorithm for solving this problem, analyze its complexity, and describe our implementation of it (for the case of a convex polygon). The algorithm is based on building and investigating a planar map, each cell of w...

This paper studies the chromatic number of the following four flip graphs (under suitable definitions of a flip): • the flip graph of perfect matchings of a complete graph of even order, • the flip graph of triangulations of a convex polygon (the associahedron), • the flip graph of non-crossing Hamiltonian paths of a convex point set, and • the flip graph of triangles in a convex point set. We ...

Lukács and András posed the problem of showing the existence of a set of n − 2 points in the interior of a convex n-gon so that the interior of every triangle determined by three vertices of the polygon contains a unique point of S. Such sets have been called pebble sets by De Loera, Peterson, and Su. We seek to characterize all such sets for any given convex polygon in the plane. We first cons...

This paper presented study on convex drawing of planar graph. In graph theory, a planar graph is a graph that can be embedded in the plane. A planar graph is one that can be drawn on a plane in such a way that there are no “edge crossings,” i.e. edges intersect only at their common vertices. Convex polygon has all interior angles less than or equal to 180°. A graph is called a convex drawing if...

We present a new polygon decomposition problem, the anchored area partition problem, which has applications to a multiple-robot terrain-covering problem. This problem concerns dividing a given polygon P into n polygonal pieces, each of a speciied area and each containing a certain point (site) on its boundary. We rst present the algorithm for the case when P is convex and contains no holes. The...

Geometric intersection graphs are graphs determined by the intersections of certain geometric objects. We study the complexity of visualizing an arrangement of objects that induces a given intersection graph. We give a general framework for describing classes of geometric intersection graphs, using arbitrary finite base sets of rationally given convex polygons and rationally-constrained affine ...

In this paper we consider the problem of decomposing a simple polygon into subpolygons that exclusively use vertices of the given polygon. We allow two types of subpolygons: pseudo-triangles and convex polygons. We call the resulting decomposition PTconvex. We are interested in minimum decompositions, i.e., in decomposing the input polygon into the least number of subpolygons. Allowing subpolyg...

We present an algorithm for computing shortest paths and distances from a single generalized source (point, segment, polygonal chain or polygon) to any query point on a possibly non-convex polyhedral surface. The algorithm also handles the case in which polygonal chain or polygon obstacles on the polyhedral surface are allowed. Moreover, it easily extends to the case of several generalized sour...
