Realization of Simply Connected Polygonal Linkages and Recognition of Unit Disk Contact Trees
نویسندگان
چکیده
We wish to decide whether a simply connected flexible polygonal structure can be realized in Euclidean space. Two models are considered: polygonal linkages (body-and-joint framework) and contact graphs of unit disks in the plane. (1) We show that it is strongly NP-hard to decide whether a given polygonal linkage is realizable in the plane when the bodies are convex polygons and their contact graph is a tree; the problem is weakly NP-hard already for a chain of rectangles, but efficiently decidable for a chain of triangles hinged at distinct vertices. (2) We also show that it is strongly NP-hard to decide whether a given tree is the contact graph of interior-disjoint unit disks in the plane.

On reconfiguring tree linkages: Trees can lock
It has recently been shown that any simple (i.e. nonintersecting) polygonal chain in the plane can be reconfigured to lie on a straight line, and any simple polygon can be reconfigured to be convex. This result cannot be extended to tree linkages: we show that there are trees with two simple configurations that are not connected by a motion that preserves simplicity throughout the motion. Indee...
متن کاملUniformization of Riemann Surfaces
The uniformization theorem states that every simply connected Riemann surface is conformally equivalent to the open unit disk, the complex plane, or the Riemann sphere. We present three aproaches to the uniformization of Riemann surfaces. We first prove the uniformization theorem via the construction of a harmonic function by the Dirichlet principle. We then give an alternate proof by triangula...
متن کاملFast Disk Conformal Parameterization of Simply-connected Open Surfaces
Surface parameterizations have been widely used in computer graphics and geometry processing. In particular, as simply-connected open surfaces are conformally equivalent to the unit disk, it is desirable to compute the disk conformal parameterizations of the surfaces. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm for the conformal parameterization of a simply-connected open surface onto the unit ...

If we consider some special conditions, we can assume fundamental group of a topological space as a new topological space. In this paper, we will present a number of theorems in topological fundamental group related to semilocally simply connected property for a topological space.
متن کاملPower Management in a Utility Connected Micro-Grid with Multiple Renewable Energy Sources
As an efficient alternative to fossil fuels, renewable energy sources have attained great attention due to their sustainable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly characteristic. However, as a deficiency, renewable energy sources have low reliability because of their non-deterministic and stochastic generation pattern. The use of hybrid renewable generation systems along with the storag...
