Snipperclips: Cutting Tools into Desired Polygons using Themselves
We study Snipperclips, a computer puzzle game whose objective is to create a target shape with two tools. The tools start as constant-complexity shapes, and each tool can snip (i.e., subtract its current shape from) the other tool. We study the computational problem of, given a target shape represented by a polygonal domain of n vertices, is it possible to create it as one of the tools’ shape v...
متن کاملCutting Out Polygons
In this paper, we present approximation algorithms for the problem of cutting out a convex polygon P with n vertices from another convex polygon Q with m vertices by a sequence of guillotine cuts of smallest total length. Specifically, we give an O(n + m) running time, constant factor approximation algorithm, and an O(n+m) running time, O(log n)-factor approximation algorithm for cutting P out ...
متن کاملDissections of Polygons into Convex Polygons
In the paper we present purely combinatorial conditions that allow us to recognize the topological equivalence (or non-equivalence) of two given dissections. Using a computer program based on this result, we are able to generate a set which contains all topologically non-equivalent dissections of a p0-gon into convex pi-gons, i = 1, ..., n, where n, p0, ..., pn are integers such that n ≥ 2, pi ...
متن کاملCutting Out Polygons with Lines and Rays
We present approximation algorithms for cutting out polygons with line cuts and ray cuts. Our results answer a number of open problems and are either the first solutions or significantly improve over previously known solutions. For the line cutting version, we prove a key property that leads to a simple, constant factor approximation algorithm. For the ray cutting version, we prove it is possib...
متن کاملCutting Out Polygons with a Circular Saw
Given a simple (cuttable) polygon Q drawn on a piece of planar material R, we cut Q out of R by a (small) circular saw with a total number of cuts no more than twice the optimal. This improves the previous approximation ratio of 2.5 obtained by Demaine et al. in 2001.
