Closest Pair Queries in Vertical Slabs and Tight Bounds on the Number of Possible Answers
Ahmad Biniaz, Prosenjit Bose, Chaeyoon Chung +6
Let be a set of points in , where is a constant, and let be a sequence of vertical hyperplanes that are sorted by their fi…
Noncrossing Longest Paths and Cycles
Greg Aloupis, Ahmad Biniaz, Prosenjit Bose +7
Edge crossings in geometric graphs are sometimes undesirable as they could lead to unwanted situations such as collisions in motion planning and inconsistency in VLSI layout. Short…
Metric and Geometric Spanners that are Resilient to Degree-Bounded Edge Faults
Ahmad Biniaz, Jean-Lou De Carufel, Anil Maheshwari +1
Let be an edge-weighted graph, and let be a subgraph of . We say that is an -fault-tolerant -spanner for , if the following is true for any subset of at…
An Improved Bound for Plane Covering Paths
Hugo A. Akitaya, Greg Aloupis, Ahmad Biniaz +8
A covering path for a finite set of points in the plane is a polygonal path such that every point of lies on a segment of the path. The vertices of the path need not be at…
On Separating Path and Tree Systems in Graphs
Ahmad Biniaz, Prosenjit Bose, Jean-Lou De Carufel +6
We explore the concept of separating systems of vertex sets of graphs. A separating system of a set is a collection of subsets of such that for any pair of distinct element…
Contiguous Boundary Guarding
Ahmad Biniaz, Anil Maheshwari, Joseph S. B. Mitchell +3
We study the problem of guarding the boundary of a simple polygon with a minimum number of guards such that each guard covers a contiguous portion of the boundary. First, we presen…
