Set of enclosed convex polyhedra in a graph
Given a straight-line graph embedded in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with known vertex coordinates and edges and no edge intersections, is it possible to find all the enclosed convex polyhedra inside? If so, is ...

Graph Laplacians, Riemannian manifolds, and object collisions
To preface this question, I am a part-time game developer and full-time optimization fiend.
I am working on object collisions at the moment and many resources I have found online are more-or-less just ...

Algorithm for grouping tetrahedra from Voronoi diagram
I have a set of 3D Voronoi generator points and their neighbouring points, which, when connected, should result in a Delaunay tetrahedralization. However, I'm having a hard time implementing this. My ...

Desargues ten point configuration $D_{10}$ in LaTeX
I want to draw the Desargues configuration $10_3$ in LaTeX using the standard picture environment, which allows only lines with the slopes $n:m$ where $\max\{|n|,|m|\}\le 6$. Is it possible? If not, ...

Checking existence of a non-crossing Hamiltonian path in geometric graphs
I am interested in the following computational problem. Given a geometric graph (i.e, a graph drawn in the plane so that its vertices are represented by points in general position and its edges are ...

Angles between edges of a geometric graph and graph invariants
Are there any clever ways in which the angles between edges in a geometric graph are encoded in the graph spectrum, or another object associated with the graph?
I'm interested to see what else is ...

How to estimate the probability of an edge appearing in the minimum spanning tree of a graph?
I've been running into this problem recently and I've been stuck on it for a while.
I have a set of vertices $G$ that form a complete graph. From this I need to sample $k$ vertices (which would also ...

Algorithm for lightest unnested planar vertex-disjoint cycle-cover
Question:
given a finite set $\mathcal{P}$ of disjoint points in the Euclidean plane and the set $\mathcal{C}$ of all simple polygons whose corners are subsets of $\mathcal{P}$,
what is the ...

Why did Robertson and Seymour call their breakthrough result a "red herring"?
One of the major results in graph theory is the graph structure theorem from Robertson and Seymour
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_structure_theorem. It gives a deep and fundamental connection ...

Restrictions on crossing edges in Delaunay triangulations
what can be said about crossing edges in Delaunay triangulations, i.e. about pairs of edges that constitute to the heaviest perfect matching int the $K_4$ induced by the quadruplet of adjacent ...

Minimizing the number of segments in drawings of planar graphs
Every planar graph has at most $3n-6$ edges, where $n$ is the number of vertices. Moreover, every planar graph can be drawn with straight-line edges in the plane, without crossings. For example, for ...

Does the problem of recognizing 3DORG-graphs have polynomial complexity?
A 2DORG is the intersection graph of a finite family of rays directed $\to$ or $\uparrow$ in the plane. Such graphs can be recognized effectively (Felsner et al.). A 3DORG is the intersection graph of ...

Minimum euclidean spanning tree in n dimensional space
I need to compute the minimum euclidean spanning tree in $R^d$ and do it with some algorithm that can do it with complexity near to $\Omega(nlogn)$ where $n$ is the size of the point set.
Right now I'...

Minimum-cost vertex transformations to achieve a planar graph embedding
Consider an undirected planar graph $G = (V,E)$ (not necessarily simply connected) whose current embedding in the plane has edge intersections.
Consider algorithms in which vertexes $v_i$ can be ...

A simplified Art Gallery Problem in a matrix
Let's take a $m \times n$ matrix as an area with $m \times n$ blocks (likes a 2D-version of the world in Minecraft). We have to put some lamps in this matrix to illuminate the whole matrix. Here is ...
