Algorithm for grouping tetrahedra from Voronoi diagram

I have a set of 3D Voronoi generator points and their neighbouring points, which, when connected, should result in a Delaunay tetrahedralization. However, I'm having a hard time implementing this. My ...

Counting points above lines

Consider a set $P$ of $N$ points in the unit square and a set $L$ of $N$ non-vertical lines. Can we count the number of pairs $$\{(p,\ell)\in P\times L: p\; \text{lies above}\; \ell\}$$ in time $\...

Intersection of sphere with triangle containing moving vertices

First off, apologies if I cannot properly articulate my question in the most formal way. However, I believe my question should be simple enough to grasp anyhow. In $\mathbb{R}^3$, I would like to ...

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 ...

Algorithm to compute the convex hull of a set of $m$ possibly intersecting convex polygons in the plane

I am trying to find an algorithm to compute the convex hull of a set of $m$ possibly intersecting convex polygons in the plane, with a total of $n$ vertices. Let $h$ denote the number of vertices on ...

Calculating a Measure of the Geometric Complexity of Planar Closed Polylines

Let $\lbrace p_1,\ \dots,\ p_n\rbrace$ be a set of points in the Euclidean plane and let $T_0 :=\left(p_1,\ \dots,\ p_n,p_1\right)$ be a Hamilton cycle through the set of points. Question: ...

Generating Convex Polygonal Neighborhoods from Triangulations of Discrete Pointsets

The wellknown Delaunay Triangulation $DT$ has as a straight line dual the also wellknown Voronoi Diagram $VD$. Both are most commonly defined in the Euclidean plane and are primarily beneficial for ...

Breaking a rectangle into smaller rectangles with small diagonals

Say I am given a rectangle with dimensions $a \times b$ and an integer $n$. I'd like to break this rectangle into $n$ smaller rectangles $R_i$, and I'd like to make the maximum diagonal of any of ...

Computionally efficient vertex enumeration for (convex) polytopes

Let $P \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ be an $\mathcal{H}$-polytope. The vertex enumeration problem asks for the set of vertices $V$ of $P$. Theoretically, the vertex enumeration problem for $P$ can be ...

Computing Voronoi poles in $\mathbb{R}^d$ (the farthest points within each cell)

Say I have a Voronoi diagram of some points $p_1,\dots,p_n\in\mathbb{R}^d$, which tesselates $\mathbb{R}^d$ into cells $V_1,\dots,V_n$. Within each cell $V_i$, the pole is defined as the vertex of $...

Construction of an integral point set given the set of distances, its minimal description to get a measure of its complexity and its unique identifier

Given a set of distances between every pair of points of an integral point set $P$ of $n$ points; say $D = \{{d_i}\}$. Q1. What is the least time complexity possible/known for recreating the ...

convex polyhedron in the unit cube

Let $P$ be a given finite set of points within the $n$-dimensional unit cube. A finite set $Q$ of points within the $n$-dimensional unit cube covers $P$ if $\operatorname{conv}(Q) \supseteq P$ where $\...

Polyline averaging

I'm trying to find a method that can take a collection of polylines, each described by a list of connected points on a plane, and find an "average" path through them. The input lines do not loop. ...
