چکیده
We prove a general lemma on the existence of (1/r)-cuttings of geometric objects in Ed that satisfy certain properties. We use this lemma to construct (1/r)-cuttings of small size for arrangements of line segments in the plane and arrangements of triangles in 3-space; for line segments in the plane we obtain a cutting of size O(r+Ar2/n2), and for triangles in 3-space our cutting has size O(r2+ε + Ar3/n3). Here A is the combinatorial complexity of the arrangement. Finally, we use these results to obtain new results for several problems concerning line segments in the plane and triangles in 3-space.

A trip through a virtual world is a powerful metaphor and a natural way of interacting with a geographic information system (GIS). Virtual reality (VR) systems provide visual realism and real-time navigation and interaction for data in core, but fail to cope with very large amounts of data, and to provide the general functionality of information systems. We describe a prototype system that over...
متن کاملParleda: a Library for Parallel Processing in Computational Geometry Applications
ParLeda is a software library that provides the basic primitives needed for parallel implementation of computational geometry applications. It can also be used in implementing a parallel application that uses geometric data structures. The parallel model that we use is based on a new heterogeneous parallel model named HBSP, which is based on BSP and is introduced here. ParLeda uses two main lib...

Received (received date) Revised (revised date) Communicated by Editor's name ABSTRACT We describe a robust, dynamic algorithm to compute the arrangement of a set of line segments in the plane, and its implementation. The algorithm is robust because, following Greene 1 and Hobby, 2 it rounds the endpoints and intersections of all line segments to representable points, but in a way that is globa...

The best known output-sensitive sequential algorithm for computing the viewshed on a polyhedral terrain from a given viewpoint was proposed by Katz, Overmars, and Sharir 10 , and achieves time complexity O((k + nn(n)) log n) where n and k are the input and output sizes respectively, and () is the inverse Ackermann's function. In this paper, we present a parallel algorithm that is based on the w...
