Let $P$ be a set of points in $mathbb{R}^d$, $B$ a bicoloring of $P$ and $Oo$ a family of geometric objects (that is, intervals, boxes, balls, etc). An object from $Oo$ is called balanced with respect to $B$ if it contains the same number of points from each color of $B$. For a collection $B$ of bicolorings of $P$, a geometric system of unbiased representatives (G-SUR) is a subset $OosubseteqOo$ such that for any bicoloring $B$ of $B$ there is an object in $Oo$ that is balanced with respect to $B$. We study the problem of finding G-SURs. We obtain general bounds on the size of G-SURs consisting of intervals, size-restricted intervals, axis-parallel boxes and Euclidean balls. We show that the G-SUR problem is NP-hard even in the simple case of points on a line and interval ranges. Furthermore, we study a related problem on determining the size of the largest and smallest balanced intervals for points on the real line with a random distribution and coloring. Our results are a natural extension to a geometric context of the work initiated by Balachandran et al. on arbitrary systems of unbiased representatives.
Efficient algorithms are presented for constructing spanners in geometric intersection graphs. For a unit ball graph in R^k, a (1+epsilon)-spanner is obtained using efficient partitioning of the space into hypercubes and solving bichromatic closest p
We study several natural instances of the geometric hitting set problem for input consisting of sets of line segments (and rays, lines) having a small number of distinct slopes. These problems model path monitoring (e.g., on road networks) using the
For smooth convex disks $A$, i.e., convex compact subsets of the plane with non-empty interior, we classify the classes $G^{text{hom}}(A)$ and $G^{text{sim}}(A)$ of intersection graphs that can be obtained from homothets and similarities of $A$, resp
We consider paths with low emph{exposure} to a 2D polygonal domain, i.e., paths which are seen as little as possible; we differentiate between emph{integral} exposure (when we care about how long the path sees every point of the domain) and emph{0/1}
We study four classical graph problems -- Hamiltonian path, Traveling salesman, Minimum spanning tree, and Minimum perfect matching on geometric graphs induced by bichromatic (red and blue) points. These problems have been widely studied for points i
