Order Types of Convex Bodies
We prove a Hadwiger transversal type result, characterizing convex position on a family of non-crossing convex bodies in the plane. This theorem suggests a definition for the ord...

A hierarchical method for real-time distance computation among moving convex bodies
This paper presents the Hierarchical Walk, or H-Walk algorithm, which maintains the distance between two moving convex bodies by exploiting both motion coherence and hierarchical ...

On the variance of random polygons
A random polygon is the convex hull of uniformly distributed random points in a convex body K R2 . General upper bounds are established for the variance of the area of a random p...

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...

Piercing Translates and Homothets of a Convex Body
According to a classical result of Gr¨unbaum, the transversal number τ(F) of any family F of pairwise-intersecting translates or homothets of a convex body C in Rd is bounded by...
