      We present several algorithms for computing the visibility polygon of a simple polygon P of n vertices (out of which r are reflex) from a viewpoint inside P, when P resides in read-only memory and only few working variables ...

      We prove the following generalised empty pentagon theorem for every integer ℓ ≥ 2, every sufficiently large set of points in the plane contains ℓ collinear points or an empty pentagon. As an application, we settle the next ...

      Given an ordered set of points and an ordered set of geometric objects in the plane, we are interested in finding a non-crossing matching between point-object pairs. We show that when the objects we match the points to ...

      We give subquadratic algorithms that, given two necklaces each with n beads at arbitrary positions, compute the optimal rotation of the necklaces to best align the beads. Here alignment is measured according to the ℓ p ...
    • Pole Dancing: 3D Morphs for Tree Drawings

      We study the question whether a crossing-free 3D morph between two straight-line drawings of an n-vertex tree can be constructed consisting of a small number of linear morphing steps. We look both at the case in which the ...
    • Realistic reconfiguration of crystalline (and telecube) robots 

      Wuhrer, Stefanie; Sacristán Adinolfi, Vera; Ramaswami, Suneeta; Pinciu, Val; Aloupis, Greg; Collette, Sébastien; Damian, Mirela; Demaine, Erik D.; El-Khechen, Dania; Flatland, Robin; Langerman, Stefan; O'Rourke, Joseph (CIMAT, 2008)

      In this paper we propose novel algorithms for reconfiguring modular robots that are composed of n atoms. Each atom has the shape of a unit cube and can expand/contract each face by half a unit, as well as attach to or ...
    • Reconfiguration of cube-style modular robots using O(logn) parallel moves 

      Aloupis, Greg; Collette, Sébastien; Demaine, Erik D.; Langerman, Stefan; Sacristán Adinolfi, Vera; Wuhrer, Stefanie (Lecture Notes in Computer Science LNCS 5369, Springer-Verlag, 2008)

      We consider a model of reconfigurable robot, introduced and prototyped by the robotics community. The robot consists of independently manipulable unit-square atoms that can extend/contract arms on each side and attach/detach ...
    • Some properties of higher order delaunay and gabriel graphs

      We consider two classes of higher order proximity graphs defined on a set of points in the plane, namely, the k-Delaunay graph and the k-Gabriel graph. We give bounds on the following combinatorial and geometric properties ...
