Topological -metrics
Willow Barkan-Vered, Huck Bennett, Amir Nayyeri
Metric spaces are ubiquitous objects in mathematics and computer science that allow for capturing (pairwise) distance relationships between points .…
ETH-tight algorithms for finding surfaces in simplicial complexes of bounded treewidth
Mitchell Black, Nello Blaser, Amir Nayyeri +1
Given a simplicial complex with simplices, we consider the Connected Subsurface Recognition (c-SR) problem of finding a subcomplex that is homeomorphic to a given connected sur…
On Cyclic Solutions to the Min-Max Latency Multi-Robot Patrolling Problem
Peyman Afshani, Mark de Berg, Kevin Buchin +7
We consider the following surveillance problem: Given a set of sites in a metric space and a set of robots with the same maximum speed, compute a patrol schedule of min…
Finding minimum bounded and homologous chains in simplicial complexes with bounded-treewidth 1-skeleton
Mitchell Black, Amir Nayyeri
We consider two problems on simplicial complexes: the Optimal Bounded Chain Problem and the Optimal Homologous Chain Problem. The Optimal Bounded Chain Problem asks to find the min…
Minimum bounded chains and minimum homologous chains in embedded simplicial complexes
Glencora Borradaile, William Maxwell, Amir Nayyeri
We study two optimization problems on simplicial complexes with homology over , the minimum bounded chain problem: given a -dimensional complex embed…
A Simple Algorithm for Computing a Cycle Separator
Sariel Har-Peled, Amir Nayyeri
We present a linear time algorithm for computing a cycle separator in a planar graph that is (arguably) simpler than previously known algorithms. Our algorithm builds on, and is so…
Approximating Nearest Neighbor Distances
Michael B. Cohen, Brittany Terese Fasy, Gary L. Miller +3
Several researchers proposed using non-Euclidean metrics on point sets in Euclidean space for clustering noisy data. Almost always, a distance function is desired that recognizes t…
All-Pairs Minimum Cuts in Near-Linear Time for Surface-Embedded Graphs
Glencora Borradaile, David Eppstein, Amir Nayyeri +1
For an undirected -vertex graph with non-negative edge-weights, we consider the following type of query: given two vertices and in , what is the weight of a minim…
How to Walk Your Dog in the Mountains with No Magic Leash
Sariel Har-Peled, Amir Nayyeri, Mohammad Salavatipour +1
We describe a -approximation algorithm for computing the homotopic \Frechet distance between two polygonal curves that lie on the boundary of a triangulated topological…
