Acute Triangulations of the Cuboctahedral Surface
In this paper we prove that the surface of the cuboctahedron can be
triangulated into 8 non-obtuse triangles and 12 acute triangles. Furthermore,
we show that both bounds are the best possible.Comment: 16 pages, 8 figures, presented on CGGA201
Survey of two-dimensional acute triangulations
AbstractWe give a brief introduction to the topic of two-dimensional acute triangulations, mention results on related areas, survey existing achievements–with emphasis on recent activity–and list related open problems, both concrete and conceptual
Distance-Sensitive Planar Point Location
Let be a connected planar polygonal subdivision with edges
that we want to preprocess for point-location queries, and where we are given
the probability that the query point lies in a polygon of
. We show how to preprocess such that the query time
for a point~ depends on~ and, in addition, on the distance
from to the boundary of~---the further away from the boundary, the
faster the query. More precisely, we show that a point-location query can be
answered in time , where
is the shortest Euclidean distance of the query point~ to the
boundary of . Our structure uses space and
preprocessing time. It is based on a decomposition of the regions of
into convex quadrilaterals and triangles with the following
property: for any point , the quadrilateral or triangle
containing~ has area . For the special case where
is a subdivision of the unit square and
, we present a simpler solution that achieves a
query time of . The latter solution can be extended to
convex subdivisions in three dimensions
Optimality of Delaunay Triangulations
In this paper, we begin by defining and examining the properties of a Voronoi diagram and extend it to its dual, the Delaunay triangulations. We explore the algorithms that construct such structures. Furthermore, we define several optimal functionals and criterions on the set of all triangulations of points in Rd that achieve their minimum on the Delaunay triangulation. We found a new result and proved that Delaunay triangulation has lexicographically the least circumradii sequence. We discuss the CircumRadii-Area (CRA) conjecture that the circumradii raised to the power of alpha times the area of the triangulation holds true for all α ≥ 1. We took it upon ourselves to prove that CRA conjecture is true for α =1, FRV quadrilaterals, and TRV quadrilaterals. Lastly, we demonstrate counterexamples for alpha\u3c1
Compatible 4-Holes in Point Sets
Counting interior-disjoint empty convex polygons in a point set is a typical
Erd\H{o}s-Szekeres-type problem. We study this problem for 4-gons. Let be a
set of points in the plane and in general position. A subset of ,
with four points, is called a -hole in if is in convex position and
its convex hull does not contain any point of in its interior. Two 4-holes
in are compatible if their interiors are disjoint. We show that
contains at least pairwise compatible 4-holes.
This improves the lower bound of which is implied by a
result of Sakai and Urrutia (2007).Comment: 17 page
