MICC: A tool for computing short distances in the curve complex

Paul Glenn, William W. Menasco, Kayla Morrell +1

The complex of curves $C (S_{g})$ of a closed orientable surface of genus $g \geq 2$ is the simplicial complex having its vertices, $C^{0} (S_{g})$ , are isotopy classes…

Efficient geodesics and an effective algorithm for distance in the complex of curves

Joan Birman, Dan Margalit, William Menasco

We give an algorithm for determining the distance between two vertices of the complex of curves. While there already exist such algorithms, for example by Leasure, Shackleton, and…
