Bottleneck Convex Subsets: Finding Large Convex Sets in a Point Set
Stephane Durocher, J. Mark Keil, Saeed Mehrabi +1
Chvátal and Klincsek (1980) gave an -time algorithm for the problem of finding a maximum-cardinality convex subset of an arbitrary given set of points in the plane.…
Upward Point Set Embeddings of Paths and Trees
Elena Arseneva, Pilar Cano, Linda Kleist +4
We study upward planar straight-line embeddings (UPSE) of directed trees on given point sets. The given point set has size at least the number of vertices in the tree. For the…
(Faster) Multi-Sided Boundary Labelling
Prosenjit Bose, Saeed Mehrabi, Debajyoti Mondal
A 1-bend boundary labelling problem consists of an axis-aligned rectangle , points (called sites) in the interior, and points (called ports) on the labels along the boun…
Parameterized Complexity of Two-Interval Pattern Problem
Prosenjit Bose, Saeed Mehrabi, Debajyoti Mondal
A \emph{2-interval} is the union of two disjoint intervals on the real line. Two 2-intervals and are \emph{disjoint} if their intersection is empty (i.e., no interval o…

A graph with vertices is called an outerstring graph if it has an intersection representation of a set of curves inside a disk such that one endpoint of every curve is…
Evacuating Equilateral Triangles and Squares in the Face-to-Face Model
Huda Chuangpishit, Saeed Mehrabi, Lata Narayanan +1
Consider robots initially located at a point inside a region . Each robot can move anywhere in independently of other robots with maximum speed one. The goal of the robo…
Polygon Simplification by Minimizing Convex Corners
Yeganeh Bahoo, Stephane Durocher, J. Mark Keil +3
Let be a polygon with reflex vertices and possibly with holes and islands. A subsuming polygon of is a polygon such that , each connected compone…

Let be a set of colored points in the plane. Introduced by Hart (1968), a consistent subset of , is a set such that for every point in ,…
Approximability of Covering Cells with Line Segments
Paz Carmi, Anil Maheshwari, Saeed Mehrabi +1
In COCOA 2015, Korman et al. studied the following geometric covering problem: given a set of line segments in the plane, find a minimum number of line segments such that e…

Prosenjit Bose, Paz Carmi, J. Mark Keil +2
Given a set of points (sites) inside a rectangle and points (label locations or ports) on its boundary, a boundary labeling problem seeks ways of connecting every site…
Geodesic Obstacle Representation of Graphs
Prosenjit Bose, Paz Carmi, Vida Dujmovic +4
An obstacle representation of a graph is a mapping of the vertices onto points in the plane and a set of connected regions of the plane (called obstacles) such that the straight-li…
