Three-dimensional halfspace constructive solid geometry tree construction from implicit boundary representations
This paper presents a new method to compute constructive solid geometry (CSG) tree representations of an object whose faces consist of planar and non-planar surfaces. The algorith...

Geometric Restrictions on Producible Polygonal Protein Chains
Fixed-angle polygonal chains in 3D serve as an interesting model of protein backbones. Here we consider such chains produced inside a “machine” modeled crudely as a cone, and e...
