The fair polygon partitioning problem [20] is to partition a (convex) polygon into (convex) pieces with an equal perimeter and equal area (this is a special case of fair cake-cutting). Any convex polygon can be easily cut into any number n of convex pieces with an area of exactly 1/n. However, ensuring that the pieces have both equal area and ...
Octave (aka GNU Octave) is an alternative to MATLAB. Originally conceived in 1988 by John W. Eaton as a companion software for an undergraduate textbook, Eaton later opted to modify it into a more flexible tool. Development begun in 1992 and the alpha version was released in 1993. Subsequently, version 1.0 was released a year after that in 1994.
Shape descriptors can be classified by their invariance with respect to the transformations allowed in the associated shape definition. Many descriptors are invariant with respect to congruency, meaning that congruent shapes (shapes that could be translated, rotated and mirrored) will have the same descriptor (for example moment or spherical harmonic based descriptors or Procrustes analysis ...
A divide and conquer paradigm to performing a triangulation in d dimensions is presented in "DeWall: A fast divide and conquer Delaunay triangulation algorithm in E d" by P. Cignoni, C. Montani, R. Scopigno. [18] The divide and conquer algorithm has been shown to be the fastest DT generation technique sequentially. [19] [20]
The number of points (n), chords (c) and regions (r G) for first 6 terms of Moser's circle problem. In geometry, the problem of dividing a circle into areas by means of an inscribed polygon with n sides in such a way as to maximise the number of areas created by the edges and diagonals, sometimes called Moser's circle problem (named after Leo Moser), has a solution by an inductive method.
Bisection of arbitrary angles has long been solved.. Using only an unmarked straightedge and a compass, Greek mathematicians found means to divide a line into an arbitrary set of equal segments, to draw parallel lines, to bisect angles, to construct many polygons, and to construct squares of equal or twice the area of a given polygon.
However, there are three distinct ways of partitioning a square into three similar rectangles: [1] [2] The trivial solution given by three congruent rectangles with aspect ratio 3:1. The solution in which two of the three rectangles are congruent and the third one has twice the side length of the other two, where the rectangles have aspect ...
These subsets subdivide the plane into shapes of the following three types: [1] The cells or chambers of the arrangement are two-dimensional regions not part of any line. They form the interiors of bounded convex polygons or unbounded convex regions. These are the connected components of the points that would remain after removing all points on ...
