The Reverse Kakeya Problem

Authors: Sang Won Bae, Sergio Cabello, Otfried Cheong, Yoonsung Choi, Fabian Stehn, and Sang Duk Yoon

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 99, 34th International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2018)

Abstract
We prove a generalization of Pál's 1921 conjecture that if a convex shape P can be placed in any orientation inside a convex shape Q in the plane, then P can also be turned continuously through 360° inside Q. We also prove a lower bound of Omega(m n^{2}) on the number of combinatorially distinct maximal placements of a convex m-gon P in a convex n-gon Q. This matches the upper bound proven by Agarwal et al.

Placing your Coins on a Shelf

Authors: Helmut Alt, Kevin Buchin, Steven Chaplick, Otfried Cheong, Philipp Kindermann, Christian Knauer, and Fabian Stehn

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 92, 28th International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC 2017)

Abstract
We consider the problem of packing a family of disks 'on a shelf,' that is, such that each disk touches the x-axis from above and such that no two disks overlap. We prove that the problem of minimizing the distance between the leftmost point and the rightmost point of any disk is NP-hard. On the positive side, we show how to approximate this problem within a factor of 4/3 in O(n log n) time, and provide an O(n log n)-time exact algorithm for a special case, in particular when the ratio between the largest and smallest radius is at most four.

Shortcuts for the Circle

Authors: Sang Won Bae, Mark de Berg, Otfried Cheong, Joachim Gudmundsson, and Christos Levcopoulos

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 92, 28th International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC 2017)

Abstract
Let C be the unit circle in R^2. We can view C as a plane graph whose vertices are all the points on C, and the distance between any two points on C is the length of the smaller arc between them. We consider a graph augmentation problem on C, where we want to place k >= 1 shortcuts on C such that the diameter of the resulting graph is minimized. We analyze for each k with 1 <= k <= 7 what the optimal set of shortcuts is. Interestingly, the minimum diameter one can obtain is not a strictly decreasing function of k. For example, with seven shortcuts one cannot obtain a smaller diameter than with six shortcuts. Finally, we prove that the optimal diameter is 2 + Theta(1/k^(2/3)) for any k.

The Number of Holes in the Union of Translates of a Convex Set in Three Dimensions

Authors: Boris Aronov, Otfried Cheong, Michael Gene Dobbins, and Xavier Goaoc

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 51, 32nd International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2016)

Abstract
We show that the union of translates of a convex body in three dimensional space can have a cubic number holes in the worst case, where a hole in a set is a connected component of its compliment. This refutes a 20-year-old conjecture. As a consequence, we also obtain improved lower bounds on the complexity of motion planning problems and of Voronoi diagrams with convex distance functions.

Approximating Convex Shapes With Respect to Symmetric Difference Under Homotheties

Authors: Juyoung Yon, Sang Won Bae, Siu-Wing Cheng, Otfried Cheong, and Bryan T. Wilkinson

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 51, 32nd International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2016)

Abstract
The symmetric difference is a robust operator for measuring the error of approximating one shape by another. Given two convex shapes P and C, we study the problem of minimizing the volume of their symmetric difference under all possible scalings and translations of C. We prove that the problem can be solved by convex programming. We also present a combinatorial algorithm for convex polygons in the plane that runs in O((m+n) log^3(m+n)) expected time, where n and m denote the number of vertices of P and C, respectively.
