Minimum cuts and shortest homologous cycles
Erin W. Chambers, Jeff Erickson, Amir Nayyeri
June 2009
SCG '09: Proceedings of the 25th annual symposium on Computational geometry
Publisher: ACM
Full text available: PdfPdf (729.25 KB)

We describe the first algorithms to compute minimum cuts in surface-embedded graphs in near-linear time. Given an undirected graph embedded on an orientable surface of genus g, with two specified vertices s and t, our algorithm computes a minimum (s,t)-cut ...

Keywords: computational topology, topological graph theory

We describe the first algorithms to compute maximum flows in surface-embedded graphs in near-linear time. Specifically, given an undirected graph embedded on an orientable surface of genus g, with two specified vertices s and t, we can compute a maximum ...

Splitting (complicated) surfaces is hard
Erin W. Chambers, Éric Colin de Verdière, Jeff Erickson, Francis Lazarus, Kim Whittlesey
October 2008

Let M be an orientable combinatorial surface. A cycle on M is splitting if it has no self-intersections and it partitions M into two components, neither of which is homeomorphic to a disk. In other words, splitting cycles are simple, separating, and ...

The (Vietoris-)Rips complex of a discrete point-set P is an abstract simplicial complex in which a subset of P defines a simplex if and only if the diameter of that subset is at most 1. We describe an efficient algorithm to determine whether ...

The Fréchet distance between two curves in the plane is the minimum length of a leash that allows a dog and its owner to walk along their respective curves, from one end to the other, without backtracking. We propose a natural extension of Fréchet ...

Empty-ellipse graphs

We define and study a geometric graph over points in the plane that captures the local behavior of Delaunay triangulations of points on smooth surfaces in IR3. Two points in a planar point set P are neighbors in the empty-ellipse ...

Finding one tight cycle

January 2008
SODA '08: Proceedings of the nineteenth annual ACM-SIAM symposium on Discrete algorithms

A cycle on a combinatorial surface is tight if it as short as possible in its (free) homotopy class. We describe an algorithm to compute a single tight, non-contractible, simple cycle on a given orientable combinatorial surface in O(n log n) time. ...

On the Least Median Square Problem

We consider the exact and approximate computational complexity of the multivariate least median-of-squares (LMS) linear regression estimator. The LMS estimator is among the most widely used robust linear statistical estimators. Given a set of n points ...

We give subquadratic algorithms that, given two necklaces each with n beads at arbitrary positions, compute the optimal rotation of the necklaces to best align the beads. Here alignment is measured according to the lp norm of ...
