Kinetic connectivity for unit disks
We describe a kinetic data structure (KDS) that maintains the connected components of the union of a set of unit-radius disks moving in the plane. We assume that the motion of eac...

Pitfalls in computing with pseudorandom determinants
It has been known for 30 years that pseudorandom number generators in the class of linear congruential generators (LCG) exhibit strong and predictable regularities. A widely used ...

Look - a Lazy Object-Oriented Kernel for geometric computation
In this paper we describe and discuss a new kernel design for geometric computation in the plane. It combines different kinds of floating-point filter techniques and a lazy eval...

A trace bound for the hereditary discrepancy
Let A be the incidence matrix of a set system with m sets and n points, m ≤ n, and let t = tr M, where M = AT A. Finally, let σ = tr M2 be the sum of squares of the elements of ...

Multivariate regression depth
The regression depth of a hyperplane with respect to a set of n points in Rd is the minimum number of points the hyperplane must pass through in a rotation to vertical. We general...

Computing approximate shortest paths on convex polytopes
The algorithms for computing a shortest path on a polyhedral surface are slow, complicated, and numerically unstable. We have developed and implemented a robust and efficient algo...
