Let R be a finite set of terminals in a convex metric space (M, d). We give approximation algorithms for problems of finding a minimum size set S subset of M of additional points such that the unit-disc graph G[R boolean OR S] of R boolean OR S satisfies s ...
We show that for m points and n lines in R-2, the number of distinct distances between the points and the lines is Omega(m(1/5)n(3/5)), as long as m(1/2)
In the present thesis, we delve into different extremal and algebraic problems arising from combinatorial geometry. Specifically, we consider the following problems. For any integer n≥3, we define e(n) to be the minimum positive integer such that an ...
Given (i) a Boolean function, (ii) a set of arrival times at the inputs, and (iii) a gate library with associated delay values, the exact delay synthesis problem asks for a circuit implementation which minimizes the arrival time at the output(s). The exact ...
Let parallel to.parallel to be a norm in R-d whose unit ball is B. Assume that V subset of B is a finite set of cardinality n, with Sigma(v is an element of V) v = 0. We show that for every integer k with 0
Given a finite n-element set X, a family of subsets F subset of 2(X) is said to separate X if any two elements of X are separated by at least one member of F. It is shown that if vertical bar F vertical bar > 2(n-1), then one can select vertical bar log n ...
