Proceedings ArticleDOI
Lower bounds for linear satisfiability problems
TL;DR: In this article, a lower bound of Ω(ndr/2e) was shown for the problem of determining whether a fixed linear equation in r variables, given n real numbers, does any r of them satisfy the equation?
Global Minimum Cuts in Surface-Embedded Graphs.
TL;DR: A deterministic algorithm to find the minimum cut in a surface-embedded graph in near-linear time, matching the running time of the fastest algorithm known for planar graphs, due to Lacki and Sankowski, for any constant g.
Journal ArticleDOI
Untangling Planar Curves
Hsien-Chih Chang,Jeff Erickson +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that simplifying a planar closed curve with n self-crossings requires a finite sequence of local transformations called homotopy moves in the worst case.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Testing contractibility in planar rips complexes
TL;DR: An efficient algorithm to determine whether a given cycle in a planar Rips complex is contractible and an algorithm to compute the shortest non-contractible cycle in that complex in O(n) time.
Lower bounds for fundamental geometric problems
Jeff Erickson,Raimund Seidel +1 more
TL;DR: Lower bounds on the number of primitive operations required to solve several fundamental problems in computational geometry are developed and it is proved that any partitioning algorithm requires $\Omega(\eta\sp{4/3}$) time to detect point-line incidences in the worst case.
