Visibility-preserving convexifications using single-vertex moves
نویسندگان
چکیده
Devadoss asked: (1) can every polygon be convexified so that no internal visibility (between vertices) is lost in the process? Moreover, (2) does such a convexification exist, in which exactly one vertex is moved at a time (that is, using single-vertex moves)? We prove the redundancy of the " single-vertex moves " condition: an affirmative answer to (1) implies an affirmative answer to (2). Since Aichholzer et al. recently proved (1), this settles (2).

Convexifying Polygons Without Losing Visibilities
We show that any simple n-vertex polygon can be made convex, without losing internal visibilities between vertices, using n moves. Each move translates a vertex of the current polygon along an edge to a neighbouring vertex. In general, a vertex of the current polygon represents a set of vertices of the original polygon that have become co-incident. We also show how to modify the method so that ...
متن کاملTelling convex from reflex allows to map a polygon
We consider the exploration of a simple polygon P by a robot that moves from vertex to vertex along edges of the visibility graph of P. The visibility graph has a vertex for every vertex of P and an edge between two vertices if they see each other, i.e. if the line segment connecting them lies inside P entirely. While located at a vertex, the robot is capable of ordering the vertices it sees in...
متن کاملRobust Fixed-order Gain-scheduling Autopilot Design using State-space Stability-Preserving Interpolation
In this paper, a robust autopilot is proposed using stable interpolation based on Youla parameterization. The most important condition of stable interpolation between local controllers is the preservation of stability so that each local controller can ensure stability for an open neighborhood around a nominal point. The proposed design used fixed-order robust controller with parameter-dependent...
متن کاملMAXIMUM CLIQUE and MINIMUM CLIQUE PARTITION in Visibility Graphs
In an alternative approach to “characterizing” the graph class of visibility graphs of simple polygons, we study the problem of finding a maximum clique in the visibility graph of a simple polygon with n vertices. We show that this problem is very hard, if the input polygons are allowed to contain holes: a gap-preserving reduction from the maximum clique problem on general graphs implies that n...
متن کاملGeneralised Atmospheric Rosenbluth Methods (GARM)
We show that the classical Rosenbluth method for sampling self-avoiding walks [1, 2] can be extended to a general algorithm for sampling many families of objects, including self-avoiding polygons. The implementation relies on an elementary move which is a generalisation of kinetic growth; rather than only appending edges to the endpoint, edges may be inserted at any vertex providing the resulti...
