Online Packing of Orthogonal Polygons

Authors: Tim Gerlach, Benjamin Hennies, and Linda Kleist

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 367, 42nd International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2026)

Abstract
While rectangular and box-shaped objects dominate the classic discourse of theoretic investigations, a fascinating frontier lies in packing more complex shapes. Given recent insights that convex polygons do not allow for constant competitive online algorithms for diverse variants under translation, we study orthogonal polygons, in particular of small complexity. For translational packings of orthogonal 6-gons, we show that the competitive ratio of any online algorithm that aims to pack the items into a minimal number of unit bins is in Ω(n/(log n)), where n denotes the number of objects. In contrast, we show that constant competitive algorithms exist when the orthogonal 6-gons are symmetric or small. For (orthogonally convex) orthogonal 8-gons, we show that the trivial n-competitive algorithm, which places each item in its own bin, is best-possible, i.e., every online algorithm has an asymptotic competitive ratio of at least n. This implies that for general orthogonal polygons, the trivial algorithm is best possible. Interestingly, for packing degenerate orthogonal polygons (with thickness 0), called skeletons, the change in complexity is even more drastic. While constant competitive algorithms for 6-skeletons exist, no online algorithm for 8-skeletons achieves a competitive ratio better than n. For other packing variants of orthogonal 6-gons under translation, our insights imply the following consequences. The asymptotic competitive ratio of any online algorithm is in Ω(n/(log n)) for strip packing, and there exist online algorithms with competitive ratios in O(1) for perimeter packing, or in O(√n) for minimizing the area of the bounding box. Moreover, the critical packing density is positive (if every object individually fits into the interior of a unit bin).

String Graph Obstacles of High Girth and of Bounded Degree

Authors: Maria Chudnovsky, David Eppstein, and David Fischer

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 357, 33rd International Symposium on Graph Drawing and Network Visualization (GD 2025)

Abstract
A string graph is the intersection graph of curves in the plane. Kratochvíl previously showed the existence of infinitely many obstacles: graphs that are not string graphs but for which any edge contraction or vertex deletion produces a string graph. Kratochvíl’s obstacles contain arbitrarily large cliques, so they have girth three and unbounded degree. We extend this line of working by studying obstacles among graphs of restricted girth and/or degree. We construct an infinite family of obstacles of girth four; in addition, our construction is K_{2,3}-subgraph-free and near-planar (planar plus one edge). Furthermore, we prove that there is a subcubic obstacle of girth three, and that there are no subcubic obstacles of high girth. We characterize the subcubic string graphs as having a matching whose contraction yields a planar graph, and based on this characterization we find a linear-time algorithm for recognizing subcubic string graphs of bounded treewidth.

Faster Algorithms for Growing Prioritized Disks and Rectangles

Authors: Hee-Kap Ahn, Sang Won Bae, Jongmin Choi, Matias Korman, Wolfgang Mulzer, Eunjin Oh, Ji-won Park, André van Renssen, and Antoine Vigneron

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

Abstract
Motivated by map labeling, we study the problem in which we are given a collection of n disks in the plane that grow at possibly different speeds. Whenever two disks meet, the one with the higher index disappears. This problem was introduced by Funke, Krumpe, and Storandt[IWOCA 2016]. We provide the first general subquadratic algorithm for computing the times and the order of disappearance. Our algorithm also works for other shapes (such as rectangles) and in any fixed dimension. Using quadtrees, we provide an alternative algorithm that runs in near linear time, although this second algorithm has a logarithmic dependence on either the ratio of the fastest speed to the slowest speed of disks or the spread of the disk centers (the ratio of the maximum to the minimum distance between them). Our result improves the running times of previous algorithms by Funke, Krumpe, and Storandt [IWOCA 2016], Bahrdt et al. [ALENEX 2017], and Funke and Storandt [EWCG 2017]. Finally, we give an \Omega(n\log n) lower bound on the problem, showing that our quadtree algorithms are almost tight.
