On finding a guard that sees most and a shop that sells most
We present a near-quadratic time algorithm that computes a point inside a simple polygon P having approximately the largest visibility polygon inside P, and a nearlinear time algo...

Redistricting Using Heuristic-Based Polygonal Clustering
— Redistricting is the process of dividing a geographic area into districts or zones. This process has been considered in the past as a problem that is computationally too comple...

Computing Cartograms with Optimal Complexity
We show how to compute cartograms with worst-case optimal polygonal complexity. Specifically we study rectilinear duals which are side-contact representations of a planar graph G ...

A Probabilistic Approach to Environmental Change Detection with Area-Class Map Data
One of the primary methods of studying change in the natural and man-made environment is that of comparison of multi-date maps and images of the earth's surface. Such comparis...
