Distance Measures for Embedded Graphs

Authors: Hugo A. Akitaya, Maike Buchin, Bernhard Kilgus, Stef Sijben, and Carola Wenk

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 149, 30th International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC 2019)

Abstract
We introduce new distance measures for comparing straight-line embedded graphs based on the Fréchet distance and the weak Fréchet distance. These graph distances are defined using continuous mappings and thus take the combinatorial structure as well as the geometric embeddings of the graphs into account. We present a general algorithmic approach for computing these graph distances. Although we show that deciding the distances is NP-hard for general embedded graphs, we prove that our approach yields polynomial time algorithms if the graphs are trees, and for the distance based on the weak Fréchet distance if the graphs are planar embedded. Moreover, we prove that deciding the distances based on the Fréchet distance remains NP-hard for planar embedded graphs and show how our general algorithmic approach yields an exponential time algorithm and a polynomial time approximation algorithm for this case. Our work combines and extends the work of Buchin et al. [Maike Buchin et al., 2017] and Akitaya et al. [Hugo Akitaya et al., 2019] presented at EuroCG.

Universal Reconfiguration of Facet-Connected Modular Robots by Pivots: The O(1) Musketeers

Authors: Hugo A. Akitaya, Esther M. Arkin, Mirela Damian, Erik D. Demaine, Vida Dujmović, Robin Flatland, Matias Korman, Belen Palop, Irene Parada, André van Renssen, and Vera Sacristán

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 144, 27th Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2019)

Abstract
We present the first universal reconfiguration algorithm for transforming a modular robot between any two facet-connected square-grid configurations using pivot moves. More precisely, we show that five extra "helper" modules ("musketeers") suffice to reconfigure the remaining n modules between any two given configurations. Our algorithm uses O(n^2) pivot moves, which is worst-case optimal. Previous reconfiguration algorithms either require less restrictive "sliding" moves, do not preserve facet-connectivity, or for the setting we consider, could only handle a small subset of configurations defined by a local forbidden pattern. Configurations with the forbidden pattern do have disconnected reconfiguration graphs (discrete configuration spaces), and indeed we show that they can have an exponential number of connected components. But forbidding the local pattern throughout the configuration is far from necessary, as we show that just a constant number of added modules (placed to be freely reconfigurable) suffice for universal reconfigurability. We also classify three different models of natural pivot moves that preserve facet-connectivity, and show separations between these models.

Circumscribing Polygons and Polygonizations for Disjoint Line Segments

Authors: Hugo A. Akitaya, Matias Korman, Mikhail Rudoy, Diane L. Souvaine, and Csaba D. Tóth

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 129, 35th International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2019)

Abstract
Given a planar straight-line graph G=(V,E) in R^2, a circumscribing polygon of G is a simple polygon P whose vertex set is V, and every edge in E is either an edge or an internal diagonal of P. A circumscribing polygon is a polygonization for G if every edge in E is an edge of P. We prove that every arrangement of n disjoint line segments in the plane has a subset of size Omega(sqrt{n}) that admits a circumscribing polygon, which is the first improvement on this bound in 20 years. We explore relations between circumscribing polygons and other problems in combinatorial geometry, and generalizations to R^3. We show that it is NP-complete to decide whether a given graph G admits a circumscribing polygon, even if G is 2-regular. Settling a 30-year old conjecture by Rappaport, we also show that it is NP-complete to determine whether a geometric matching admits a polygonization.

Maximum Area Axis-Aligned Square Packings

Authors: Hugo A. Akitaya, Matthew D. Jones, David Stalfa, and Csaba D. Tóth

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 117, 43rd International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2018)

Abstract
Given a point set S={s_1,... , s_n} in the unit square U=[0,1]^2, an anchored square packing is a set of n interior-disjoint empty squares in U such that s_i is a corner of the ith square. The reach R(S) of S is the set of points that may be covered by such a packing, that is, the union of all empty squares anchored at points in S. It is shown that area(R(S))>= 1/2 for every finite set S subset U, and this bound is the best possible. The region R(S) can be computed in O(n log n) time. Finally, we prove that finding a maximum area anchored square packing is NP-complete. This is the first hardness proof for a geometric packing problem where the size of geometric objects in the packing is unrestricted.

Reconstruction of Weakly Simple Polygons from their Edges

Authors: Hugo A. Akitaya and Csaba D. Tóth

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 64, 27th International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC 2016)

Abstract
Given n line segments in the plane, do they form the edge set of a weakly simple polygon; that is, can the segment endpoints be perturbed by at most epsilon, for any epsilon > 0, to obtain a simple polygon? While the analogous question for simple polygons can easily be answered in O(n log n) time, we show that it is NP-complete for weakly simple polygons. We give O(n)-time algorithms in two special cases: when all segments are collinear, or the segment endpoints are in general position. These results extend to the variant in which the segments are directed, and the counterclockwise traversal of a polygon should follow the orientation. We study related problems for the case that the union of the n input segments is connected. (i) If each segment can be subdivided into several segments, find the minimum number of subdivision points to form a weakly simple polygon. (ii) If new line segments can be added, find the minimum total length of new segments that creates a weakly simple polygon. We give worst-case upper and lower bounds for both problems.

Recognizing Weakly Simple Polygons

Authors: Hugo A. Akitaya, Greg Aloupis, Jeff Erickson, and Csaba Tóth

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

Abstract
We present an O(n log n)-time algorithm that determines whether a given planar n-gon is weakly simple. This improves upon an O(n^2 log n)-time algorithm by [Chang, Erickson, and Xu, SODA, 2015]. Weakly simple polygons are required as input for several geometric algorithms. As such, how to recognize simple or weakly simple polygons is a fundamental question.
