The n-interior point variant of the Erdős-Szekeres problem is the following: for any n, n ≥ 1, does there exist a g(n) such that every point set in the plane with at least g(n) interior points has a convex polygon containing exactly n-interior points. The existence of g(n) has been proved only for n ≤ 3. In this paper, we show that, for point sets having at most logarithmic number of convex lay...

Given a convex polygon of n sides, one can draw n disks (called side disks) where each disk has a different side of the polygon as diameter and the midpoint of the side as its center. The intersection graph of such disks is the undirected graph with vertices the n disks and two disks are adjacent if and only if they have a point in common. We prove that for every convex polygon this graph is pl...

In this paper, we consider the continuous Fermat-Weber problem, where the customers are continuously (uniformly) distributed along the boundary of a convex polygon. We derive the closed-form expression for finding the average distance from a given point to the continuously distributed customers along the boundary. A Weiszfeld-type procedure is proposed for this model, which is shown to be linea...

A convex hull is a polygon which encloses all given set of points.Euler number or Euler characteristic of an image has proven to be an important feature in many image analyses and visual inspection applications. This paper presents an algorithm for fast computing the convex hull of a planar scattered point set, which pre-strike an initial convex hull boundary, remove internal points in the boun...

Let P be a simple polygon on the plane. Two vertices of P are visible if the open line segment joining them is contained in the interior of P . In this paper we study the following questions posed in [5, 6]: (1) Is it true that every non-convex simple polygon has a vertex that can be continuously moved such that during the process no vertex-vertex visibility is lost and some vertex-vertex visib...

Flips in triangulations have received a lot of attention over the past decades. However, the problem of tracking where particular edges go during the flipping process has not been addressed. We examine this question by attaching unique labels to the triangulation edges. We introduce the concept of the orbit of an edge e, which is the set of all edges reachable from e via flips. We establish the...
