Given a finite set of weighted points in Rd (where there can be negative weights), the maximum box problem asks for an axis-aligned rectangle (i.e., box) such that the sum of the weights of the points that it contains is maximized. We consider that each point of the input has a probability of being present in the final random point set, and...

In this paper we study the following problem: Given sets R and B of r red and b blue points respectively in the plane, find a minimum-cardinality set H of axis-aligned rectangles (boxes) so that every point in B is covered by at least one rectangle of H, and no rectangle of H contains a point of R. We prove the NP-hardness of the stated...

In 1926, Jarník introduced the problem of drawing a convex n-gon with vertices having integer coordinates. He constructed such a drawing in the grid [1, c ·n 3/2]2 for some constant c > 0, and showed that this grid size is optimal up to a constant factor. We consider the analogous problem of drawing the double circle, and prove that it can be...

Let P and F be sets of n ≥ 2 and m ≥ 2 points in the plane, respectively, so that P∪F is in general position. We study the problem of finding the minimum angle α ∈ [2π/m, 2π] such that one can install at each point of F a stationary rotating floodlight with illumination angle α, initially oriented in a suitable direction, in such a way that, at...
