Hinged Dissection of Polygons is Hard
We show several natural questions about hinged dissections of polygons to be PSPACE-hard. The most basic of these is: Given a hinged set of pieces and two configurations for them...

Hinged Dissection of Polyominoes and Polyforms
A hinged dissection of a set of polygons S is a collection of polygonal pieces hinged together at vertices that can be rotated into any member of S. We present a hinged dissection...

Computational geometry column 50
Two long-open problems have been solved: (1) every sufficiently large planar point set in general position contains the vertices of an empty hexagon; (2) every finite collection o...

Locked and unlocked chains of planar shapes
We extend linkage unfolding results from the well-studied case of polygonal linkages to the more general case of linkages of polygons. More precisely, we consider chains of nonove...
