Online Hitting Sets for Disks of Bounded Radii

Authors: Minati De, Satyam Singh, and Csaba D. Tóth

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 351, 33rd Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2025)

Abstract
We present algorithms for the online minimum hitting set problem in geometric range spaces: Given a set P of n points in the plane and a sequence of geometric objects that arrive one-by-one, we need to maintain a hitting set at all times. For disks of radii in the interval [1,M], we present an O(log M log n)-competitive algorithm. This result generalizes from disks to positive homothets of any convex body in the plane with scaling factors in the interval [1,M]. As a main technical tool, we reduce the problem to the online hitting set problem for a finite subset of integer points and bottomless rectangles. Specifically, for a given N > 1, we present an O(log N)-competitive algorithm for the variant where P is a subset of an N× N section of the integer lattice, and the geometric objects are bottomless rectangles.

Convex Partial Transversals of Planar Regions

Authors: Vahideh Keikha, Mees van de Kerkhof, Marc van Kreveld, Irina Kostitsyna, Maarten Löffler, Frank Staals, Jérôme Urhausen, Jordi L. Vermeulen, and Lionov Wiratma

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 123, 29th International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC 2018)

Abstract
We consider the problem of testing, for a given set of planar regions R and an integer k, whether there exists a convex shape whose boundary intersects at least k regions of R. We provide polynomial-time algorithms for the case where the regions are disjoint axis-aligned rectangles or disjoint line segments with a constant number of orientations. On the other hand, we show that the problem is NP-hard when the regions are intersecting axis-aligned rectangles or 3-oriented line segments. For several natural intermediate classes of shapes (arbitrary disjoint segments, intersecting 2-oriented segments) the problem remains open.
