Better bounds on the union complexity of locally fat objects
We prove that the union complexity of a set of n constantcomplexity locally fat objects (which can be curved and/or non-convex) in the plane is O(λt+2(n) log n), where t is the m...

the asteroid surveying problem and other puzzles
We consider two variants of the well-known “sailor in the fog” puzzle. The first version (the “asteroid surveying” problem) is set in three dimensions and asks for the sh...

On the structure and composition of forbidden sequences, with geometric applications
Forbidden substructure theorems have proved to be among of the most versatile tools in bounding the complexity of geometric objects and the running time of geometric algorithms. T...

Combinatorial complexity in O-minimal geometry
In this paper we prove tight bounds on the combinatorial and topological complexity of sets defined in terms of n definable sets belonging to some fixed definable family of sets i...

Convergence of Discrete MDL for Sequential Prediction
We study the properties of the Minimum Description Length principle for sequence prediction, considering a two-part MDL estimator which is chosen from a countable class of models....
