Does the problem of recognizing 3DORG-graphs have polynomial complexity?

A 2DORG is the intersection graph of a finite family of rays directed $\to$ or $\uparrow$ in the plane. Such graphs can be recognized effectively (Felsner et al.). A 3DORG is the intersection graph of ...

special classes of ideals (eg. toric) that admit faster Buchberger algorithm?

I have heard that toric ideals allow one to speed up the Buchberger algorithm considerably (see Grobner bases of toric ideals, Remark 2,3). My question is two-fold: What are the precise complexity-...

Computational complexity of exact computation of the doubling dimension

Given a finite metric space $X$, the doubling constant of $X$ is the smallest integer $k$ such that any ball of arbitrary radius $r$ can be covered by at most $k$ balls of radius $r/2$. The doubling ...

Complexity of existence of simple polygonalization with prescribed area?

This is a followup on my previous question. Fekete proved the NP-completeness of deciding the existence of simple polygonalization with minimum (or maximum) enclosed area (simple polygonalization is ...

Computing all roots of a function with square-root terms

Given $3n$ positive numbers $a_1, \ldots, a_n$, $b_1, \ldots, b_n$, and $x_1, \ldots, x_n$, we are given a function $$f(x) = \sum_{i = 1}^n \frac{a_i}{\sqrt{(x - x_i)^2 + b_i}}.$$ Can we find all the ...

Computational hardness of a discrete generalized rectangle packing problem

I have a decision problem that is clearly in NP, but I cannot seem to prove that it is in P, nor can I prove its NP-hardness. I attribute this more to my inexperience than to the problem's difficulty (...

Projection of a polytope along 4 orthogonal axes

Consider the following problem: Given an $\mathcal{H}$-polytope $P$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and $4$ orthogonal vectors $v_1, ..., v_4 \in \mathbb{R}^d$, compute the projection of $P$ to the subspace ...
