Computing the minimum enclosing sphere of free-form hypersurfaces in arbitrary dimensions
The problem of computing the minimum enclosing sphere (MES) of a point set is a classical problem in Computational Geometry. As an LP-type problem, its expected running time on th...

Generalizations of the Hanoi Towers Problem
Our theme bases on the classical Hanoi Towers Problem. In this paper we will define a new problem, permitting some positions, that were not legal in the classical problem. Our goa...

Better Bounds for Online Scheduling
We study a classical problem in online scheduling. A sequence of jobs must be scheduled on m identical parallel machines. As each job arrives, its processing time is known. The goa...

Weak Visibility of Two Objects in Planar Polygonal Scenes
Abstract. Determining whether two segments s and t in a planar polygonal scene weakly see each other is a classical problem in computational geometry. In this problem we seek for a...

The Quantum and Classical Complexity of Translationally Invariant Tiling and Hamiltonian Problems
— We study the complexity of a class of problems involving satisfying constraints which remain the same under translations in one or more spatial directions. In this paper, we sh...
