Dissection with the Fewest Pieces is Hard, Even to Approximate

چکیده
We prove that it is NP-hard to dissect one simple orthogonal polygon into another using a given number of pieces, as is approximating the fewest pieces to within a factor of 1 + 1/1080 − ε.

Elimination of Hard-Nonlinearities Destructive Effects in Control Systems Using Approximate Techniques
Many of the physical phenomena, like friction, backlash, drag, and etc., which appear in mechanical systems are inherently nonlinear and have destructive effects on the control systems behavior. Generally, they are modeled by hard nonlinearities. In this paper, two different methods are proposed to cope with the effects of hard nonlinearities which exist in friction various models. Simple inver...
متن کاملComplete pivoting strategy for the $IUL$ preconditioner obtained from Backward Factored APproximate INVerse process
In this paper, we use a complete pivoting strategy to compute the IUL preconditioner obtained as the by-product of the Backward Factored APproximate INVerse process. This pivoting is based on the complete pivoting strategy of the Backward IJK version of Gaussian Elimination process. There is a parameter $alpha$ to control the complete pivoting process. We have studied the effect of dif...
متن کاملAortic Dissection of Unknown Origin in a Young Patient: A Case Report
Aortic dissection occurs when a tear develops in the wall of the aorta, which is rare in the young population. This fatal disorder is hard to diagnose, especially in young patients. We present the case of aortic dissection in a 15-year-old boy referred to the Emergency Department of Yazd University of Medical Sciences in November 2015. The patient presented to our department with sudden acute c...
متن کاملHinged Dissection of Polypolyhedra
This paper presents a general family of 3D hinged dissections for polypolyhedra, i.e., connected 3D solids formed by joining several rigid copies of the same polyhedron along identical faces. (Such joinings are possible only for reflectionally symmetric faces.) Each hinged dissection consists of a linear number of solid polyhedral pieces hinged along their edges to form a flexible closed chain ...
متن کاملAn Algorithm for Two Dimensional Cutting Stock Problems with Demand
In this paper, two-dimensional cutting stock problem with demand has been studied.In this problem, cutting of large rectangular sheets into specific small pieces should be carried out hence, the waste will be minimized. Solving this problem is important to decrease waste materials in any industry that requires cutting of sheets. In most previus studies, the demand of pieces has not been usually...
