Geodesic-Preserving Polygon Simplification [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Polygons are a paramount data structure in computational geometry. While the complexity of many algorithms on simple polygons or polygons with holes depends on the size of the input polygon, the intrinsic complexity of the problems these algorithms solve

Composition Wheels: Visualizing dissolved organic matter using common composition metrics across a variety of Canadian ecozones.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is a ubiquitous component of aquatic systems, impacting aquatic health and drinking water quality. These impacts depend on the mixture of organic molecules that comprise DOM.

Efficient Multi-Robot Motion Planning for Unlabeled Discs in Simple Polygons [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We consider the following motion-planning problem: we are given $m$ unit discs in a simple polygon with $n$ vertices, each at their own start position, and we want to move the discs to a given set of $m$ target positions.

Reconstruction of Weakly Simple Polygons from their Edges [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Given n line segments in the plane, do they form the edge set of a weakly simple polygon; that is, can the segment endpoints be perturbed by at most epsilon, for any epsilon > 0, to obtain a simple polygon?

Pen-drawn Marangoni swimmer

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Pen-drawing is an intuitive, convenient, and creative fabrication method for delivering emergent and adaptive design to real devices. To demonstrate the application of pen-drawing to robot construction, we developed pen-drawn Marangoni swimmers that ...

Optimal Cover of Points by Disks in a Simple Polygon

open access: yesSIAM journal on computing (Print), 2010
Let P be a simple polygon, and let Q be a set of points in P. We present an almost-linear time algorithm for computing a minimum cover of Q by disks that are contained in P.

Approximation Algorithms for the Geometric Firefighter and Budget Fence Problems

open access: yesAlgorithms, 2018
Let R denote a connected region inside a simple polygon, P. By building barriers (typically straight-line segments) in P \ R

Positive geometry, local triangulations, and the dual of the Amplituhedron

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2021
We initiate the systematic study of local positive spaces which arise in the context of the Amplituhedron construction for scattering amplitudes in planar maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. We show that all local positive spaces relevant for one-

Decomposing a simple polygon into pseudo-triangles and convex polygons

open access: yesComputational Geometry, 2008
AbstractIn 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 PT-convex.

A Practical Algorithm with Performance Guarantees for the Art Gallery Problem [PDF]

open access: yesDiscrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science
Given a closed simple polygon $P$, we say two points $p,q$ see each other if the segment $pq$ is fully contained in $P$. The art gallery problem seeks a minimum size set $G\subset P$ of guards that sees $P$ completely.
