Geometric Avatar Problems

Authors: Mario E. Consuegra and Giri Narasimhan

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 24, IARCS Annual Conference on Foundations of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science (FSTTCS 2013)


Abstract
We introduce the concept of Avatar problems that deal with situations where each entity has multiple copies or "avatars" and the solutions are constrained to use exactly one of the avatars. The resulting set of problems show a surprising range of hardness characteristics and elicit a variety of algorithmic solutions. Many Multiple geometric avatar problems are considered. In particular, we show how to extend the concept of epsilon-kernels to find approximation algorithms for geometric avatar problems. Results for metric space graph avatar problems are also presented.

06481 Abstracts Collection – Geometric Networks and Metric Space Embeddings

Authors: Joachim Gudmundsson, Rolf Klein, Giri Narasimhan, Michiel Smid, and Alexander Wolff

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 6481, Geometric Networks and Metric Space Embeddings (2007)


Abstract
The Dagstuhl Seminar 06481 ``Geometric Networks and Metric Space Embeddings'' was held from November~26 to December~1, 2006 in the International Conference and Research Center (IBFI), Schloss Dagstuhl. During the seminar, several participants presented their current research, and ongoing work and open problems were discussed. In this paper we describe the seminar topics, we have compiled a list of open questions that were posed during the seminar, there is a list of all talks and there are abstracts of the presentations given during the seminar. Links to extended abstracts or full papers are provided where available.

Geometric Distance Estimation for Sensor Networks and Unit Disk Graphs

Authors: Sándor Fekete, Alexander Kröller, Carsten Buschmann, and Stefan Fischer

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 6481, Geometric Networks and Metric Space Embeddings (2007)


Abstract
We present an approach to estimating distances in sensor networks. It works by counting common neighbors, high values indicating closeness. Such distance estimates are needed in many self-localization algorithms. Other than many other approaches, ours does not rely on special equipment in the devices.

Power Assignment in Radio Networks with Two Power Levels

Authors: Paz Carmi and Matthew Katz

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 6481, Geometric Networks and Metric Space Embeddings (2007)


Abstract
We study the power assignment problem in radio networks, where each radio station can transmit in one of two possible power levels, corresponding to two ranges - short and long. We show that this problem is NP-hard, and present an O(n^2)-time assignment algorithm, such that the number of transmitters that are assigned long range by the algorithm is at most (11/6) times the number of transmitters that are assigned long range by an optimal algorithm. We also present an (9/5)-approximation algorithm for this problem whose running time is considerably higher. Next, we formulate and study the Minimum-Area Spanning Tree (MAST)problem: Given a set P of n points in the plane, find a spanning tree of P of minimum "area," where the area of a spanning tree T is the area of the union of the n-1 disks whose diameters are the edges in T. We prove that the Euclidean minimum spanning tree of P is a constant-factor approximation for MAST. We then apply this result to obtain constant-factor approximations for the Minimum-Area Range Assignment (MARA) problem, for the Minimum-Area Connected Disk Graph (MACDG) problem, and for the Minimum-Area Tour (MAT) problem. The first problem is a variant of the power assignment problem in radio networks, the second problem is a related natural problem, and the third problem is a variant of the traveling salesman problem.
