From Random Polygon to Ellipse: An Eigenanalysis
Suppose x and y are unit 2-norm n-vectors whose components sum to zero. Let P(x, y) be the polygon obtained by connecting (x1, y1), . . . , (xn, yn), (x1, y1) in order. We say that...

Finding All Door Locations that Make a Room Searchable
—A room is a simple polygon with a prespecified point, called the door, on its boundary. Search may be conducted by two guards on the boundary who keep mutual visibility at all ...

Decomposing a simple polygon into pseudo-triangles and convex polygons
In this paper we consider the problem of decomposing a simple polygon into subpolygons that exclusively use vertices of the given polygon. We allow two types of subpolygons: pseud...

Hinged Dissection of Polyominoes and Polyforms
A hinged dissection of a set of polygons S is a collection of polygonal pieces hinged together at vertices that can be rotated into any member of S. We present a hinged dissection...

Lower bounds for approximate polygon decomposition and minimum gap
We consider the problem of decomposing polygons (with holes) into various types of simpler polygons. We focus on the problem of partitioning a rectilinear polygon, with holes, int...

Guarding curvilinear art galleries with edge or mobile guards
In this paper we consider the problem of monitoring an art gallery modeled as a polygon, the edges of which are arcs of curves. We consider two types of guards: edge guards (these...

Pattern based map comparisons
Map comparison techniques based on a pixel-by-pixel comparison are useful for many purposes, but fail to reveal important aspects of map similarities and differences. In contrast, ...

Proper Partitions of a Polygon and k-Catalan Numbers
Let P be a polygon whose vertices have been colored (labeled) cyclically with the numbers 1, 2, . . . , c. Motivated by conjectures of Propp, we are led to consider partitions of ...

An algorithm for the MaxMin area triangulation of a convex polygon
Given a convex polygon in the plane, we are interested in triangulations of its interior, i.e. maximal sets of nonintersecting diagonals that subdivide the interior of the polygon...

Partitioning Regular Polygons into Circular Pieces I: Convex Partitions
We explore an instance of the question of partitioning a polygon into pieces, each of which is as “circular” as possible, in the sense of having an aspect ratio close to
