The VC-dimension of visibility on the boundary of monotone polygons
Abstract We show that the VC-dimension of visibility on the boundary of a monotone polygon is exactly 6. Our lower bound construction matches the best known lower bound for simple polygons.

Modem illumination of monotone polygons
We study a generalization of the classical problem of illumination of polygons. Instead of modeling a light source we model a wireless device whose radio signal can penetrate a given number k of walls. We call these objects k-modems and study the minimum number of k-modems necessary to illuminate monotone and monotone orthogonal polygons.

Visibility-monotonic polygon deflation [PDF]
A deflated polygon is a polygon with no visibility crossings. We answer a question posed by Devadoss et al. (2012) by presenting a polygon that cannot be deformed via continuous visibility-decreasing motion into a deflated polygon. We show that the least n for which there exists such an n-gon is seven.

Minimum Star Partitions of Simple Polygons in Polynomial Time [PDF]
We devise a polynomial-time algorithm for partitioning a simple polygon P into a minimum number of star-shaped polygons. The question of whether such an algorithm exists has been open for more than four decades [Avis and Toussaint, Pattern Recognit ...

Q-Curve and Area Rules for Choosing Heuristic Parameter in Tikhonov Regularization
We consider choice of the regularization parameter in Tikhonov method if the noise level of the data is unknown. One of the best rules for the heuristic parameter choice is the quasi-optimality criterion where the parameter is chosen as the global ...

A priori filtration of points for finding convex hull
Convex hull is the minimum area convex polygon containing the planar set. By now there are quite many convex hull algorithms (Graham Scan, Jarvis March, QuickHull, Incremental, Divide‐and‐Conquer, Marriage‐before‐Conquest, Monotone Chain, Brute Force ...

Testing a simple polygon for monotonicity optimally in parallel
Abstract We show that, in parallel, an n -vertex simple polygon can be tested for monotonicity optimally in O(log n ) time using O( n /log n ) EREW PRAM processors, and we present two different optimal parallel algorithms for solving this problem.

Coverage path planning considering the cell number and starting position
The coverage tasks of mobile robots are evolving towards large-scale and intelligent directions, demanding urgent requirements for the coverage efficiency and environmental adaptability of coverage path planning. To address the inadequate adaptability of

Poka: A Necro‐Robot Beetle with a Measured Payload Ratio of 6847%
Here, Poka, a necro‐robot beetle with the ability to carry more than 68 times its own weight, is introduced, making it also a walking robot with the highest payload ratio measured to date. This paper is concerned with the design, manufacture and validation of ‘Poka', a novel millimetre‐scale necro‐robot aimed at bridging the performance gap between ...
