Journal ArticleDOI
Geometry helps in bottleneck matching and related problems
TL;DR: An O(n5log n) -time algorithm for determining whether for some translated copy the resemblance gets below a given ρ is presented, thus improving the previous result of Alt, Mehlhorn, Wagener, and Welzl by a factor of almost n.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Realistic input models for geometric algorithms
TL;DR: The traditional worst-case analysis often fails to predict the actual behavior of the running time of geometric algorithms in practical situations, so models that describe the properties that realistic inputs have are needed so that the analysis can take these properties into account.
Journal ArticleDOI
Realistic input models for geometric algorithms
TL;DR: The relations between various models that have been proposed in the literature are shown and algorithms to compute the model parameter(s) for a given (planar) scene are given to verify whether a model is appropriate for typical scenes in some application area.
Journal ArticleDOI
TSP with neighborhoods of varying size

TL;DR: In this paper, the first polynomial-time constant-factor approximation algorithm for disjoint convex fat neighborhoods of arbitrary size was presented, where the neighborhoods can overlap and are not required to be convex or fat.
Book ChapterDOI
Covering points by unit disks of fixed location
TL;DR: This paper significantly improves the best known constant from 72 to 38, using a novel approach based on a 4-approximation that is devised for the subproblem where the points of P are located below a line l and contained in the subset of disks of D centered above l.
