Tangencies between families of disjoint regions in the plane
Let C be a family of n convex bodies in the plane, which can be decomposed into k subfamilies of pairwise disjoint sets. It is shown that the number of tangencies between the memb...

On the complexity of sets of free lines and line segments among balls in three dimensions
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...

Adding one edge to planar graphs makes crossing number hard
A graph is near-planar if it can be obtained from a planar graph by adding an edge. We show that it is NP-hard to compute the crossing number of near-planar graphs. The main idea ...

Optimal reconstruction might be hard
Sampling conditions for recovering the homology of a set using topological persistence are much weaker than sampling conditions required by any known algorithm for producing a top...

Approximating loops in a shortest homology basis from point data
Inference of topological and geometric attributes of a hidden manifold from its point data is a fundamental problem arising in many scientific studies and engineering application...
