Efficiently determine if convex hull contains the unit ball

Given a set of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$, is there an algorithm to determine if the convex hull contains the unit ball centered at the origin in polynomial time (in both $n$ and $d$)? The convex ...

Robustness of doubling dimension to small perturbations

Let $M$ be a metric space. Then the doubling dimension of $M$, denoted $\dim M$, is defined to be the minimum value $k$ such that every ball in $M$ of radius $r$ can be covered by at most $2^k$ balls ...

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 ...

$n$-dimensional Voronoi diagram

I need to compute the Voronoi diagram of a set of points in $R^n$. I'm quite unschooled on the topic, could someone point me to the right references so that I can a) understand the theory behind it; b)...

Place N points in a 3d cube in a way that maximizes the minimum of their pairwise distances

Place $N$ points in a 3d cube in a way that maximizes the minimum of their pairwise distances. The problem can easily be solved for $N\lt5$, but how to proceed for larger $N$?
