The visibility graph of a finite set of points in the plane has the points as vertices and an edge between two vertices if the line segment between them contains no other points. This paper establishes bounds on the edge- and vertex-connectivity of visibil ...
Thin adhesive films have become increasingly important in applications involving packaging, coating or for advertising. Once a film is adhered to a substrate, flaps can be detached by tearing and peeling, but they narrow and collapse in pointy shapes. Simi ...
A dominating set D of a graph G is a set such that each vertex v of G is either in the set or adjacent to a vertex in the set. Matheson and Tarjan (1996) proved that any n-vertex plane triangulation has a dominating set of size at most n/3, and conjectured ...
We show that every graph G with maximum degree three has a straight-line drawing in the plane using edges of at most five different slopes. Moreover, if G is connected and has at least one vertex of degree less than three, then four directions suffice. ...
We investigate the diameter of a natural abstraction of the 1-skeleton of polyhedra. Although this abstraction is simpler than other abstractions that were previously studied in the literature, the best upper bounds on the diameter of polyhedra continue to ...
Optimal control problems for constrained linear systems with a linear cost can be posed as multiparametric linear programs (pLPs) and solved explicitly offline. Several algorithms have recently been proposed in the literature that solve these pLPs in a fai ...
In polyhedral studies of 0/1 polytopes two prominent problems exist. One is the vertex enumeration problem: Given a system of inequalities, enumerate its feasible 0/1 points. Another one is the convex hull problem: Given a set of 0/1 points in dimension d, ...
Let r and w be a fixed positive numbers, w < r. In a bold drawing of a graph, every vertex is represented by a disk of radius r, and every edge by a narrow rectangle of width w. We solve a problem of van Kreveld [K09] by showing that every graph admits a b ...
We investigate the diameter of a natural abstraction of the 1-skeleton of polyhedra. Even if this abstraction is more general than other abstractions previously studied in the literature, known upper bounds on the diameter of polyhedra continue to hold her ...
In 1977, D. G. Kendall [J. Appl. Probab. 28 (1991), no. 1, 225--230; MR1090460 (92f:60135)] considered diffusions of shape induced by independent Brownian motions in Euclidean space. In this paper, we consider a different class of diffusions of shape, indu ...
