In the field of topological data analysis, persistence modules are used to express geometrical features of data sets. The matching distance $d_mathcal{M}$ measures the difference between $2$-para...
Given a set $P$ of $n$ points in the plane, we consider the problem of computing the number of points of $P$ in a query unit disk (i.e., all query disks have the same radius). We show that the ma...
We present new algorithms for computing many faces in arrangements of lines and segments. Given a set $S$ of $n$ lines (resp., segments) and a set $P$ of $m$ points in the plane, the problem is t...
The problem to compute the vertices of a polytope given by affine inequalities is called vertex enumeration. The inverse problem, which is equivalent by polarity, is called the convex hull proble...
Metabolic networks and their reconstruction set a new era in the analysis of metabolic and growth functions in the various organisms. By modeling the reactions occurring inside an organism, metab...
The alpha complex is a subset of the Delaunay triangulation and is often used in computational geometry and topology. One of the main drawbacks of using the alpha complex is that it is non-monoto...
We prove algebraic and combinatorial characterizations of the class of inductively pierced codes, resolving a conjecture of Gross, Obatake, and Youngs. Starting from an algebraic invariant of a...
Bounded-angle spanning trees of points in the plane have received considerable attention in the context of wireless networks with directional antennas. For a point set P in the plane and an angle...
We prove that for any triangle-free intersection graph of $n$ axis-parallel line segments in the plane, the independence number $alpha$ of this graph is at least $alpha ge n/4 + Omega(sqrt{n})$. ...
$DeclareMathOperator{ugh}{u_mathrm{GH}}DeclareMathOperator{dgh}{d_mathrm{GH}}$The Gromov-Hausdorff distance ($d_mathrm{GH}$) provides a natural way of quantifying the dissimilarity between two gi...
An SPQR-tree is a data structure that efficiently represents all planar embeddings of a connected planar graph. It is a key tool in a number of constrained planarity testing algorithms, which ...
Given a set P of n points in the plane, the unit-disk graph Gr(P) with respect to a parameter r is an undirected graph whose vertex set is P such that an edge connects two points p, q in P if the...
We study the following maximization problem in the Euclidean plane: Given a collection of neighborhoods (polygonal regions) in the plane, the goal is to select a point in each neighborhood so tha...
