How many samples do you need to get constant dispersion?
Let $C_n$ be the hypercube $[-1,1]^n$. For $a_1,\cdots,a_s \in C_n$, define its dispersion $D(a_1,\cdots,a_s)$ as $\max_{x \in C_n}\min_{i \in [s]} \|x-a_i\|_{2}$. Let $0< \lambda < 1$ be a ...

Dispersion of a "random" subset of $[-1,1]^2$
Let $C$ be the square $[-1,1]^2$. Let $a_1,\dots,a_m$ be points chosen independently and uniformly at random from $C$. Let $d_m$ (dispersion) be the random variable $\max_{x \in C}{\min_{j \in [m]}{\|...

Counting points above lines
Consider a set $P$ of $N$ points in the unit square and a set $L$ of $N$ non-vertical lines. Can we count the number of pairs $$\{(p,\ell)\in P\times L: p\; \text{lies above}\; \ell\}$$ in time $\...

Complexity of counting regions in hyperplane arrangements
Let $H_1,\ldots,H_n$ be hyperplanes in $\Bbb R^d$. Denote $\mathcal{H} :=\{H_1,\ldots,H_n\}$ and let $c(\mathcal{H})$ be the number of regions in the complement: $\Bbb R^d\setminus \bigcup H_i$.

On finding optimal convex planar shapes to cover a given convex planar shape
Covering a specific convex shape S with n copies of another specified convex shape S' (which may be different from S) is well studied - for example, https://erich-friedman.github.io/packing/index.html....

Probability of intersecting a rectangle with random straight lines
We are given a rectangle $R$ with sides lengths $r_1$ and $r_2$, contained in a square $S$, with sides lengths $s_1=s_2\ge r_1$ and $s_2=s_1\ge r_2$. $R$ and $S$ are axis-aligned in a cartesian plane $...

Implementation of Koebe–Andreev–Thurston circle packing?
The circle packing theorem (Koebe–Andreev–Thurston theorem) claims for a planar graph, we can pack disjoint circles, such that: the circles correspond to vertices and the disks are tangent if the ...
