Free Bits, PCPs and Non-Approximability - Towards Tight Results
This paper continues the investigation of the connection between probabilistically checkable proofs PCPs the approximability of NP-optimization problems. The emphasis is on prov...

A Novel Algorithm for Distance Transformation on Irregular Isothetic Grids
In this report, we propose a new definition of the E2 DT (Squared Euclidean Distance Transformation) on irregular isothetic grids. We describe a new separable algorithm to compute...

Morse-smale complexes for piecewise linear 3-manifolds
We define the Morse-Smale complex of a Morse function over a 3-manifold as the overlay of the descending and ascending manifolds of all critical points. In the generic case, its ...

Better bounds on the union complexity of locally fat objects
We prove that the union complexity of a set of n constantcomplexity locally fat objects (which can be curved and/or non-convex) in the plane is O(λt+2(n) log n), where t is the m...

A New Means for Investigating 3-Manifolds
The paper presents a new method of investigating topological properties of three-dimensional manifolds by means of computers. Manifolds are represented as finite cell complexes. Th...
