One of the formalisms to qualitatively describe polylines in the plane are double-cross matrices. In a double-cross matrix the relative position of any two line segments in a poly...
We show how to bound the mixing time and log-Sobolev constants of Markov chains by bounding the edge-isoperimetry of their underlying graphs. To do this we use two recent techniqu...
We study a random graph Gn that combines certain aspects of geometric random graphs and preferential attachment graphs. This model yields a graph with power-law degree distributio...
Abstract. In this paper we introduce a new technique for approximation schemes for geometrical optimization problems. As an example problem, we consider the following variant of th...
In this paper, we undertake a performance study of some recent algorithms for geometric pattern matching. These algorithms cover two general paradigms for pattern matching; alignm...
