چکیده

Separators in graphs are instrumental in the design of algorithms, having proven to be the key technical tool in approximation algorithms for many optimization problems. In the geometric setting, this naturally translates into the study of separators in the intersection graphs of geometric objects. Recently a number of new separator theorems have been proven for the case of geometric objects in the plane. In this paper we present a new separator theorem that unifies and generalizes some earlier results.

Geometric Separation and Exact Solutions for the Parameterized Independent Set Problem on Disk Graphs

We consider the parameterized problem, whether a given set of n disks (of bounded radius) in the Euclidean plane contains k non-intersecting disks. We expose an algorithm running in time n √ , that is—to our knowledge—the first algorithm for this problem with running time bounded by an exponential with a sublinear exponent. The results are based on a new “geometric √ ·-separator theorem” which ...

Balanced Line Separators of Unit Disk Graphs

We prove a geometric version of the graph separator theorem for the unit disk intersection graph: for any set of n unit disks in the plane there exists a line ` such that ` intersects at most O( √ (m+ n) logn) disks and each of the halfplanes determined by ` contains at most 2n/3 unit disks from the set, where m is the number of intersecting pairs of disks. We also show that an axis-parallel li...

Two Equivalent Presentations for the Norm of Weighted Spaces of Holomorphic Functions on the Upper Half-plane

Introduction In this paper, we intend to show that without any certain growth condition on the weight function, we always able to present a weighted sup-norm on the upper half plane in terms of weighted sup-norm on the unit disc and supremum of holomorphic functions on the certain lines in the upper half plane. Material and methods We use a certain transform between the unit dick and the uppe...

A Time-Domain Method for Shape Reconstruction of a Target with Known Electrical Properties (RESEARCH NOTE)

This paper uses a method for shape reconstruction of a 2-D homogeneous object with arbitrary geometry and known electrical properties. In this method, the object is illuminated by a Gaussian pulse, modulated with sinusoidal carrier plane wave and the time domains’ footprint signal due to object presence is used for the shape reconstruction. A nonlinear feedback loop is used to minimize the diff...

Separator Theorems and Turán-type Results for Planar Intersection Graphs

We establish several geometric extensions of the Lipton-Tarjan separator theorem for planar graphs. For instance, we show that any collection C of Jordan curves in the plane with a total of m crossings has a partition into three parts C = S ∪C1 ∪C2 such that |S| = O( √ m), max{|C1|, |C2|} ≤ 2 3 |C|, and no element of C1 has a point in common with any element of C2. These results are used to obt...
