Suppose we have an arrangement $mathcal{A}$ of $n$ geometric objects $x_1, dots, x_n subseteq mathbb{R}^2$ in the plane, with a distinguished point $p_i$ in each object $x_i$. The generalized transmission graph of $mathcal{A}$ has vertex set ${x_1, dots, x_n}$ and a directed edge $x_ix_j$ if and only if $p_j in x_i$. Generalized transmission graphs provide a generalized model of the connectivity in networks of directional antennas. The complexity class $exists mathbb{R}$ contains all problems that can be reduced in polynomial time to an existential sentence of the form $exists x_1, dots, x_n: phi(x_1,dots, x_n)$, where $x_1,dots, x_n$ range over $mathbb{R}$ and $phi$ is a propositional formula with signature $(+, -, cdot, 0, 1)$. The class $exists mathbb{R}$ aims to capture the complexity of the existential theory of the reals. It lies between $mathbf{NP}$ and $mathbf{PSPACE}$. Many geometric decision problems, such as recognition of disk graphs and of intersection graphs of lines, are complete for $exists mathbb{R}$. Continuing this line of research, we show that the recognition problem of generalized transmission graphs of line segments and of circular sectors is hard for $exists mathbb{R}$. As far as we know, this constitutes the first such result for a class of directed graphs.
Given a planar straight-line graph $G=(V,E)$ in $mathbb{R}^2$, a emph{circumscribing polygon} of $G$ is a simple polygon $P$ whose vertex set is $V$, and every edge in $E$ is either an edge or an internal diagonal of $P$. A circumscribing polygon is
Let $S subset mathbb{R}^2$ be a set of $n$ sites, where each $s in S$ has an associated radius $r_s > 0$. The disk graph $D(S)$ is the undirected graph with vertex set $S$ and an undirected edge between two sites $s, t in S$ if and only if $|st| leq
We study three covering problems in the plane. Our original motivation for these problems come from trajectory analysis. The first is to decide whether a given set of line segments can be covered by up to four unit-sized, axis-parallel squares. The s
Let $P subset mathbb{R}^2$ be a planar $n$-point set such that each point $p in P$ has an associated radius $r_p > 0$. The transmission graph $G$ for $P$ is the directed graph with vertex set $P$ such that for any $p, q in P$, there is an edge from $
We present sweeping line graphs, a generalization of $Theta$-graphs. We show that these graphs are spanners of the complete graph, as well as of the visibility graph when line segment constraints or polygonal obstacles are considered. Our proofs use
