Point and Line Nearest-Neighbor Searching in 3-Space
Pankaj K. Agarwal, Esther Ezra, Micha Sharir
This paper presents data structures for nearest-neighbor (NN) searching problems involving points, lines, segments, and triangles in 3-space, achieving significantly better perform…
Nearly-Tight Bounds for Vertical Decomposition in Three and Four Dimensions
Pankaj K. Agarwal, Esther Ezra, Micha Sharir
Vertical decomposition is a widely used general technique for decomposing the cells of arrangements of semi-algebraic sets in into constant-complexity subcells. In…
Semi-Algebraic Off-line Range Searching and Biclique Partitions in the Plane
Pankaj K. Agarwal, Esther Ezra, Micha Sharir
Let be a set of points in , let be a set of semi-algebraic sets of constant complexity in , let be a semigroup, and let $w: P…
Vertical Decomposition in 3D and 4D with Applications to Line Nearest-Neighbor Searching in 3D
Pankaj K. Agarwal, Esther Ezra, Micha Sharir
Vertical decomposition is a widely used general technique for decomposing the cells of arrangements of semi-algebraic sets in -space into constant-complexity subcells. In this p…
Near-Optimal Min-Sum Motion Planning for Two Square Robots in a Polygonal Environment
Pankaj K. Agarwal, Dan Halperin, Micha Sharir +1
Let be a planar polygonal environment (i.e., a polygon potentially with holes) with a total of vertices, and let be two robots, each mo…
