Inapproximability for planar embedding problems
We consider the problem of computing a minimumdistortion bijection between two point-sets in R2 . We prove the first non-trivial inapproximability result for this problem, for the...

On the Optimality of Gluing over Scales
We show that for every α > 0, there exist n-point metric spaces (X, d) where every “scale” admits a Euclidean embedding with distortion at most α, but the whole space req...

Real-Time Detection of Independent Motion using Stereo
We describe a system that detects independently moving objects from a mobile platform in real time using a calibrated stereo camera. Interest points are first detected and tracke...

The Minimum-Area Spanning Tree Problem
Motivated by optimization problems in sensor coverage, we formulate and study the Minimum-Area Spanning Tree (mast) problem: Given a set P of n points in the plane, find a spannin...

The Computational Complexity of Knot and Link Problems
We consider the problem of deciding whether a polygonal knot in 3dimensional Euclidean space is unknotted, capable of being continuously deformed without self-intersection so that...
