We prove that the lines tangent to four possibly intersecting convex polyhedra in 3 with n edges in total form Θ(n2 ) connected components in the worst case. In the generic ca...
The Phylogenetic kth Root Problem (PRk) is the problem of finding a (phylogenetic) tree T from a given graph G = (V, E) such that (1) T has no degree-2 internal nodes, (2) the ex...
: Can Grover’s algorithm speed up search of a physical region—for example a 2-D grid of size √ n × √ n? The problem is that √ n time seems to be needed for each query, j...
We study the problem of auditing databases which support statistical sum queries to protect the security of sensitive information; we focus on the special case in which the sensit...

Material limitations and fabrication costs generally run at odds with the creativity of architectural design, producing a wealth of challenging computational geometry problems. We...
