We consider the problems of computing the largest area triangle enclosed within a given n-sided convex polygon and the smallest area triangle which encloses a given convex polygon. We show that these problems are closely related by presenting a single sequential linear time algorithm which essentially solves both problems simultaneously. We also present a cost-optimal parallel algorithm that solves both of these problems in O( log log n) time using n/ log log n processors on a CRCW PRAM. In order to achieve these bounds we develop new techniques for the design of parallel algorithms for computational problems involving the rotating calipers method.

Two points a and b are said to be L-visible among a set of polygonal obstacles if the length of the shortest path from a to b avoiding these obstacles is no more than L. For a given convex polygon P with n vertices, Gewali et al.1 addressed the guard placement problem on the boundary of P that covers the maximum area outside to the polygon under L-visibility with P as obstacle. Their proposed algorithm runs in O(n) time if [Formula: see text], where π(P) denotes the perimeter of P. They conjectured that if [Formula: see text], then the problem can be solved in subquadratic time. In this paper, we settle the conjecture in the affirmative sense, by proposing an easy to implement linear time algorithm for any arbitrary value of L.

We present a linear–time algorithm that decomposes a convex polygon conformally into a minimum number of strictly convex quadrilaterals. Moreover, we characterize the polygons that can be decomposed without additional vertices inside the polygon, and we present a linear–time algorithm for such decompositions, too. As an application, we consider the problem of constructing a minimum conformal refinement of a mesh in the three–dimensional space, which approximates the surface of a workpiece. We prove that this problem is strongly [Formula: see text] –hard, and we present a linear-time algorithm with a constant approximation ratio of four.

Suitable Generalization

A simple polygon P is said to be weakly extrenally visible from a line segment L if it lies outside P and for every point p on the boundary of P there is a point q on L such that no point in the interior of [Formula: see text] lies inside P. In this paper, a linear time algorithm is proposed for computing a shortest line segment from which P is weakly externally visible. This is done by a suitable generalization of a linear time algorithm which solves the same problem for a convex polygon.

The center of area of a convex planar set X is the point p for which the minimum area of X intersected by any halfplane containing p is maximized. We describe a simple randomized linear-time algorithm for computing the center of area of a convex n-gon.

Dominating Function

For a simple graph G=(V,E) with no isolated vertices, a total Roman {3}-dominating function(TR3DF) on G is a function f:V(G)→{0,1,2,3} having the property that (i) ∑w∈N(v)f(w)≥3 if f(v)=0; (ii) ∑w∈N(v)f(w)≥2 if f(v)=1; and (iii) every vertex v with f(v)≠0 has a neighbor u with f(u)≠0 for every vertex v∈V(G). The weight of a TR3DF f is the sum f(V)=∑v∈V(G)f(v) and the minimum weight of a total Roman {3}-dominating function on G is called the total Roman {3}-domination number denoted by γt{R3}(G). In this paper, we show that the total Roman {3}-domination problem is NP-complete for planar graphs and chordal bipartite graphs. Finally, we present a linear-time algorithm to compute the value of γt{R3} for trees.
