We present a novel Locality-Sensitive Hashing scheme for the Approximate Nearest Neighbor Problem under ÐÔ norm, based on Ôstable distributions. Our scheme improves the running...

For a set S of points in Rd, an s-spanner is a graph on S such that any pair of points is connected via some path in the spanner whose total length is at most s times the Euclidea...
In a landmark survey of visibility algorithms in 1974, Sutherland, Sproull, and Schumacker stated that “We believe the principal untapped source of help for hidden surface algor...
We revisit the problem of computing shortest obstacle-avoiding paths among obstacles in three dimensions. We prove new hardness results, showing, e.g., that computing Euclidean sh...
Let P be a set of n points in general position in the plane. Let Xk(P ) denote the number of empty convex k-gons determined by P. We derive, using elementary proof techniques, sev...
