AbstractLet P - {p1,p2,. . . ,pn} be an independent point-set in ℝd (i.e., there are no d + 1 on a hyperplane). A simplex determined by d + 1 different points of P is called empty if it contains no point of P in its interior. Denote the number of empty simplices in P by fd(P). Katchalski and Meir pointed out that . Here a random construction Pn is given with , where K(d) is a constant depending only on d. Several related questions are investigated.

We study the maximal number of triangulations that a planar set of $n$ points can have, and show that it is at most $30^n$. This new bound is achieved by a careful optimization of the charging scheme of Sharir and Welzl (2006), which has led to the previous best upper bound of $43^n$ for the problem. Moreover, this new bound is useful for bounding the number of other types of planar (i.e., crossing-free) straight-line graphs on a given point set. Specifically, it can be used to derive new upper bounds for the number of planar graphs ($207.84^n$), spanning cycles ($O(68.67^n)$), spanning trees ($O(146.69^n)$), and cycle-free graphs ($O(164.17^n)$).

We describe efficient PRAM algorithms for constructing unbalanced quadtrees, balanced quadtrees, and quadtree-based finite element meshes. Our algorithms take time O(log n) for point set input and O(log n log k) time for planar straight-line graphs, using O(n+k/log n) processors, where n measures input size and k output size.

In this paper we present an efficient algorithm for automatically finding the correspondence between pairs of stereo micrographs, the key step in forming a stereo image. The computation burden in this problem is solving for the optimal mapping and transformation between the two micrographs. In this paper, we present a sieve algorithm for efficiently estimating the transformation and correspondence.In a sieve algorithm, a sequence of stages gradually reduce the number of transformations and correspondences that need to be examined, i.e., the analogy of sieving through the set of mappings with gradually finer meshes until the answer is found. The set of sieves is derived from an image model, here a planar graph that encodes the spatial organization of the features. In the sieve algorithm, the graph represents the spatial arrangement of objects in the image. The algorithm for finding the correspondence restricts its attention to the graph, with the correspondence being found by a combination of graph matchings, point set matching and geometric invariants.

In this paper we study a problem related to the classical Erdos--Szekeres Theorem on finding points in convex position in planar point sets. We study for which n and k there exists a number h(n,k) such that in every planar point set X of size h(n,k) or larger, no three points on a line, we can find n points forming a vertex set of a convex n-gon with at most k points of X in its interior. Recall that h(n,0) does not exist for n = 7 by a result of Horton. In this paper we prove the following results. First, using Horton's construction with no empty 7-gon we obtain that h(n,k) does not exist for k = 2(n+6)/4-n-3. Then we give some exact results for convex hexagons: every point set containing a convex hexagon contains a convex hexagon with at most seven points inside it, and any such set of at least 19 points contains a convex hexagon with at most five points inside it.
