The Complexity of Unions of Disjoint Sets
This paper is motivated by the open question whether the union of two disjoint NPcomplete sets always is NP-complete. We discover that such unions retain much of the complexity of...

Experiments on Union-Find Algorithms for the Disjoint-Set Data Structure
Abstract. The disjoint-set data structure is used to maintain a collection of non-overlapping sets of elements from a finite universe. Algorithms that operate on this data structu...

The Informational Content of Canonical Disjoint NP-Pairs
We investigate the connection between propositional proof systems and their canonical pairs. It is known that simulations between proof systems translate to reductions between the...

Maximizing the Area of Overlap of Two Unions of Disks Under Rigid Motion
Let A and B be two sets of n resp. m disjoint unit disks in the plane, with m ≥ n. We consider the problem of finding a translation or rigid motion of A that maximizes the tota...

A Lower Bound on the Area of a 3-Coloured Disc Packing
Given a set of unit-discs in the plane with union area A, what fraction of A can be covered by selecting a pairwise disjoint subset of the discs? Rado conjectured
