Recent progress in exact geometric computation

AbstractComputational geometry has produced an impressive wealth of efficient algorithms. The robust implementation of these algorithms remains a major issue. Among the many proposed approaches for solving numerical non-robustness, Exact Geometric Computation (EGC) has emerged as one of the most successful. This survey describes recent progress in EGC research in three key areas: constructive zero bounds, approximate expression evaluation and numerical filters

Constructive root bound for k-ary rational input numbers

International audienceGuaranteeing accuracy is the critical capability in exact geometric computation, an important paradigm for constructing robust geometric algorithms. Constructive root bounds is the fundamental technique needed to achieve such guaranteed accuracy. Current bounds are overly pessimistic in the presence of general rational input numbers. In this paper, we introduce a method which greatly improves the known bounds for k-ary rational input numbers. Since a majority of input numbers in scientific and engineering applications are either binary (k =2) or decimal (k =10), our results could lead to a significant speedup for a large class of applications. We apply our method to two of the best available constructive root bounds, the BFMSS Bound and the Degree-Measure Bound. Implementation and experimental results based on the Core Library are reported
