The Given

This paper considers a problem of locating the given number of disks into a container so that the area covered by the disks is maximized. In the problem, the radii of the disks can be changed arbitrarily unless they overlap outside of the container, and the disks are allowed to overlap with each other. We present an approximation algorithm for this problem assuming that the container is a convex polygon. Our algorithm achieves approximation ratio (0.78 - ϵ) for any small ϵ > 0. Since the computation time of our algorithm depends on the number of corners of the convex polygon exponentially, we also give a heuristic to reduce the number of corners.

Contact Position

The main concern of this paper is the detection of double contact configurations for some polygons moving in translation in a polygonal environment. We first establish some general properties about such configurations and give conditions of existence of double contacts for two or three objects. For three convex polygons moving in a polygonal environment or three simple polygons moving in a rectangle there always exists a double contact. Two examples without possibility of double contacts are given, one with three polygons (not convex) moving in a polygonal environment, and one with four convex polygons moving in a rectangle. We deduce an algorithm detecting a double contact position in time O(n2) (resp. O(n3)) for two (resp. three) convex polygons of constant sizes moving in a non-convex polygon of size n.

Let R and B be two disjoint sets of red points and blue points in the plane, respectively, such that no three points of R ∪ B are collinear, and let a,b and g be positive integers. We show that if ag ≤ |R| < (a + 1)g and bg ≤ |B| < (b + 1)g, then we can subdivide the plane into g convex polygons so that every open convex polygon contains exactly a red points and b blue points and that the remaining points lie on the boundary of the subdivision. This is a generalization of equitable subdivision of ag red points and bg blue points in the plane.

Pattern mining is an important task in AI for eliciting hypotheses from the data. When it comes to spatial data, the geo-coordinates are often considered independently as two different attributes. Consequently, rectangular patterns are searched for. Such an arbitrary form is not able to capture interesting regions in general. We thus introduce convex polygons, a good trade-off for capturing high density areas in any pattern mining task. Our contribution is threefold: (i) We formally introduce such patterns in Formal Concept Analysis (FCA), (ii) we give all the basic bricks for mining polygons with exhaustive search and pattern sampling, and (iii) we design several algorithms that we compare experimentally.

We have studied the row-convex polygons on a general checkerboard lattice and derived the recursion relations for the four-variable generating function. Exact solution of the row-convex polygon generating function is obtained for a special case of the checkerboard lattice. Our result includes the square lattice, rectangular lattice and isotropic honeycomb lattice as special cases.

Let P be a planar point set with no three points collinear, k points of P be a k-hole of P if the k points are the vertices of a convex polygon without points of P. This article proves 13 is the smallest integer such that any planar points set containing at least 13 points with no three points collinear, contains a 3-hole, a 4-hole and a 5-hole which are pairwise disjoint.

The home range of stoats (Mustela erminea) was determined as part of a programme to protect Okarito brown kiwi chicks (Apteryx australis) ‘Okarito’, from predation. Twenty-seven stoats were fitted with radio-transmitters and tracked in two podocarp (Podocarpaceae) forests, in south Westland, New Zealand, from July 1997 to May 1998. Home-range area was determined for 19 animals by minimum convex polygons and restricted-edge polygons, and core areas were determined by hierarchical cluster analysis. The mean home ranges of males across all seasons calculated by minimum convex polygon (210 28 ha ( s.e.)) and restricted-edge polygon (176 29 ha) were significantly larger than those of females across all seasons (89 14 ha and 82 12 ha). The mean home range of males calculated by minimum convex polygon during the breeding season (256 38 ha) was significantly larger than the mean home range pooled across the non-breeding seasons (149 16 ha), whereas that calculated by restricted-edge polygon was not significantly different. The mean home range of females during the breeding season was not significantly different from that in the non-breeding seasons when estimated by either method. Overlap of home ranges was observed within and between sexes in all seasons, with the greatest proportion of home range overlap being male–female. The mean home range of females in spring and summer is used to guide the spacing of control stations.

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.
