Fast computation of generalized Voronoi diagrams using graphics hardware
: We present a new approach for computing generalized Voronoi diagrams in two and three dimensions using interpolation-based polygon rasterization hardware. The input primitives ma...

Hardness of Nearest Neighbor under L-infinity
Recent years have seen a significant increase in our understanding of high-dimensional nearest neighbor search (NNS) for distances like the 1 and 2 norms. By contrast, our underst...

Spanners for Geometric Intersection Graphs
A ball graph is an intersection graph of a set of balls with arbitrary radii. Given a real number t > 1, we say that a subgraph G′ of a graph G is a t-spanner of G, if for eve...

A Multi-Round Communication Lower Bound for Gap Hamming and Some Consequences
—The Gap-Hamming-Distance problem arose in the context of proving space lower bounds for a number of key problems in the data stream model. In this problem, Alice and Bob have to...

Parameterized Intractability of Distinguishing Substring Selection
A central question in computational biology is the design of genetic markers to distinguish between two given sets of (DNA) sequences. This question is formalized as the NP-comple...
