Let B be a collection of n arbitrary balls in R3 . We establish an almost-tight upper bound of O(n3+ε ), for any ε > 0, on the complexity of the space F(B) of all the lines t...
Let B be a set of n unit balls in R3 . We show that the combinatorial complexity of the space of lines in R3 that avoid all the balls of B is O(n3+ε ), for any ε > 0. This re...

We present two new fundamental lower bounds on the worst-case combinatorial complexity of sets of free lines and sets of maximal free line segments in the presence of balls in thr...
We revisit the problem of computing shortest obstacle-avoiding paths among obstacles in three dimensions. We prove new hardness results, showing, e.g., that computing Euclidean sh...
