  abstract = {{Let $\mathcal{P}$ be a simple polygon with $n$ vertices.
The \emph{dual graph} $T^*$ of a triangulation~$T$ of~$\mathcal{P}$
is the graph whose vertices correspond to the bounded faces of
$T$ and whose edges connect those faces of~$T$ that share an edge.
We consider triangulations of~$\mathcal{P}$ that minimize or maximize the
diameter of their dual graph.
We show that both triangulations can be constructed in $O(n^3\log n)$ time
using dynamic programming.
If $\mathcal{P}$ is convex, we show that any minimizing triangulation has dual
diameter exactly $2\cdot\lceil\log_2(n/3)\rceil$ or
$2\cdot\lceil\log_2(n/3)\rceil -1$, depending on~$n$. Trivially, in this
case any maximizing triangulation has dual diameter $n-2$.
Furthermore, we investigate the relationship between the dual diameter
and the number of \emph{ears} (triangles with exactly two edges incident
to the boundary of $\mathcal{P}$) in a triangulation.
For convex $\mathcal{P}$, we show that there is always a triangulation that
simultaneously minimizes the dual diameter and maximizes the number of
ears.
In contrast, we give examples of general simple polygons where every
triangulation that maximizes the number of ears has dual diameter that
is quadratic in the minimum possible value.
We also consider the case of point sets in general position in the plane.
of~$T$ is defined as before.
We show that for any such set of $n$ points there are triangulations with
dual diameter in~$O(\log n)$ and in~$\Omega(\sqrt n)$.}},

Motivated by sensor networks, we want that each layer is spanning and plane, and that no edge is very long (when compared to the minimum length needed to obtain a spanning graph). We consider two different approaches: first we show an almost optimal centralized approach to extract two graphs. Then we show a constant factor approximation for a distributed model in which each point can compute its adjacencies using only local information. In both cases the obtained layers are plane.},

  abstract = {Given a set $P$ of $n$ labeled points in the plane, the radial system of~$P$ describes, for each $p\in P$, the radial order of the other points around~$p$.
This notion is related to the order type of~$P$, which describes the orientation (clockwise or counterclockwise) of every ordered triple of~$P$.
Given only the order type of $P$, it is easy to reconstruct the radial system of $P$, but the converse is not true.
Aichholzer et~al.\ (Reconstructing Point Set Order Types from Radial Orderings, in Proc.~ISAAC 2014) defined $T(R)$ to be the set of order types with radial system~$R$ and showed that sometimes $|T(R)|=n-1$.
They give polynomial-time algorithms to compute $T(R)$ when only given~$R$.
We describe an optimal $O(kn^2)$ time algorithm for computing $T(R)$, where $k$ is the number of order types reported by the algorithm.
The reporting relies on constructing the convex hulls of all possible point sets with the given radial system, after which sidedness queries on point triples can be answered in constant time.
This set of convex hulls can be constructed in linear time.
Our results generalize to abstract order types.},

                  topological graphs}) are drawings of graphs such
                  that any two edges intersect at most once.  Such
                  drawings have attracted attention as generalizations
                  of geometric graphs, in connection with the crossing
                  number, and as data structures in their own right.
                  We are in particular interested in good drawings of
                  the complete graph.  In this extended abstract, we
                  describe our techniques for generating all different
                  weak isomorphism classes of good drawings of the
                  complete graph for up to nine vertices.  In
                  addition, all isomorphism classes were enumerated.
                  As an application of the obtained data, we present

                  and the directions of the upwardness of different
                  graphs can differ.  We first consider the special
                  case where each digraph is a directed path.  In
                  contrast to the known result that any two directed
                  paths admit a monotone simultaneous embedding, there
                  exist examples of three paths that do not admit such
                  an embedding for any possible choice of directions
                  of monotonicity.\\ We prove that if a monotone
                  simultaneous embedding of three paths exists then it
                  also exists for any possible choice of directions of
                  monotonicity.  We provide a polynomial-time
                  algorithm that, given three paths, decides whether a
                  monotone simultaneous embedding exists and, in the
                  case of existence, also constructs such an
                  embedding.  On the other hand, we show that already
                  for three paths, any monotone simultaneous embedding
                  might need a grid whose size is exponential in the
                  number of vertices.  For more than three paths, we
                  present a polynomial-time algorithm that, given any

                  given directions, including the construction of a

                  implications of our results on monotone simultaneous
                  embeddings of general upward planar digraphs.

It is thus the natural generalization of straight line segments on unconstrained point sets to polygonal environments.
In this paper we use this extension to generalize the concept of the order type of a set of points in the Euclidean plane to geodesic order types.
In particular, we show that, for any set $S$ of points and an ordered subset $\blue \subseteq S$ of at least four points, one can always construct a polygon $P$ such that the points of $\blue$ define the geodesic hull of~$S$ w.r.t.~$P$, in the specified order.
Moreover, we show that an abstract order type derived from the dual of the Pappus arrangement can be realized as a geodesic order type.},

However, many fundamental algorithms in computational geometry rely on coordinate representations.
This includes the straightforward algorithms for finding a halving line for a given planar point set, as well as finding a point on the convex hull, both in linear time.
In his monograph \emph{Axioms and Hulls}, Knuth asks whether these problems can be solved in linear time in a more abstract setting, given only the orientation of each point triple, i.e., the set's chirotope, as a source of information.
We answer this question in the affirmative.
More precisely, we can find a halving line through any given point, as well as the vertices of the convex hull edges that are intersected by the supporting line of any two given points of the set in linear time.
We first give a proof for sets realizable in the Euclidean plane and then extend the result to non-realizable abstract order types.},

Given a segment set S, we study the problem of finding a simple polygon P stabbing S in a way that some measure of P (such as area or perimeter) is optimized. We show that if the elements of S are pairwise disjoint, the problem can be solved in polynomial time. In particular, this solves an open problem posed by L\"offler and van Kreveld [Algorithmica 56(2), 236--269 (2010)] [16] about finding a maximum perimeter convex hull for a set of imprecise points modeled as line segments. Our algorithm can also be extended to work for a more general problem, in which instead of segments, the set S consists of a collection of point sets with pairwise disjoint convex hulls. We also prove that for general segments our stabbing problem is NP-hard.},

  abstract = {The geodesic between two points a and b in the interior of a simple polygon P is the shortest polygonal path inside P that connects a to b. It is thus the natural generalization of straight line segments on unconstrained point sets to polygonal environments. In this paper we use this extension to generalize the concept of the order type of a set of points in the Euclidean plane to geodesic order types. In particular, we show that, for any set S of points and an ordered subset B ⊆ S of at least four points, one can always construct a polygon P such that the points of B define the geodesic hull of S w.r.t. P, in the specified order. Moreover, we show that an abstract order type derived from the dual of the Pappus arrangement can be realized as a geodesic order type.},

A \emph{flip} in~$T$ is the operation of replacing one diagonal of~$T$
by a different one such that the resulting graph is again
a triangulation.  The \emph{flip distance} between two triangulations is
the smallest number of flips required to transform one triangulation into the
other. For the special case of convex polygons, the problem of determining the
shortest flip distance between two triangulations is equivalent to determining
the rotation distance between two binary trees, a central problem which is still
open after over 25 years of intensive study.
We show that computing the flip distance between two
triangulations of a simple polygon is NP-hard.  This complements a recent
result that shows APX-hardness of determining the flip distance between two
triangulations of a planar point set.},

                  graphs of specific types on a given set of points in
                  the plane have been intensively studied in recent
                  years. For most classes of geometric graphs it is
                  now known that point sets in convex position
                  minimize their number. However, it is still unclear
                  which point sets minimize the number of geometric
                  triangulations; the so-called double circles are
                  conjectured to be the minimizing sets. In this paper
                  we prove that any set of $n$ points in general
                  position in the plane has at least $\Omeag(2.631^n)$
                  geometric triangulations. Our result improves the
                  previously best general lower bound of $\Omega(2.43^n)$
                  and also covers the previously best lower bound of
                  $\Omega(2.63^n)$ for a fixed number of extreme points. We
                  achieve our bound by showing and combining several
                  new results, which are of independent interest: 1.
                  Adding a point on the second convex layer of a given
                  point set (of $7$ or more points) at least doubles
                  the number of triangulations.  2.  Generalized
                  configurations of points that minimize the number of
                  triangulations have at most ${[}n/2{]}$ points on
                  their convex hull.  3.  We provide tight lower
                  bounds for the number of triangulations of point
                  sets with up to 15 points. These bounds further
                  support the double circle conjecture.},

  abstract = {The traveling salesman problem (TSP) asks for a shortest
                  tour through all vertices of a graph with respect to
                  the weights of the edges. The symmetric quadratic
                  traveling salesman problem (SQTSP) associates a
                  weight with every three vertices traversed in
                  succession. If these weights correspond to the
                  turning angles of the tour, we speak of the
                  angular-metric traveling salesman problem (Angle
                  TSP).  In this paper, we first consider the SQTSP
                  from a computational point of view. In particular,
                  we apply a rather basic algorithmic idea and perform
                  the separation of the classical subtour elimination
                  constraints on integral solutions
                  only. Surprisingly, it turns out that this approach
                  is faster than the standard fractional separation
                  procedure known from the literature. We also test
                  the combination with strengthened subtour
                  elimination constraints for both variants, but these
                  turn out to slow down the computation.  Secondly, we
                  provide a completely different, mathematically
                  interesting MILP linearization for the Angle TSP
                  that needs only a linear number of additional
                  variables while the standard linearization requires
                  a cubic one. For medium sized instances of a variant
                  of the Angle TSP this formulation yields reduced
                  running times. However, for larger instances or pure
                  Angle TSP instances the new formulation takes more
                  time to solve than the known standard model.
                  Finally, we introduce MaxSQTSP, the maximization
                  version of the quadratic traveling salesman
                  problem. Here it turns out that using some of the
                  stronger subtour elimination constraints helps. For
                  the special case of the MaxAngle TSP we can observe
                  an interesting geometric property if the number of
                  vertices is odd. We show that the sum of inner
                  turning angles in an optimal solution always equals
                  $\pi$. This implies that the problem can be solved
                  by the standard ILP model without producing any
                  integral subtours. Moreover, we give a simple
                  constructive polynomial time algorithm to find such
                  an optimal solution. If the number of vertices is
                  even the optimal value lies between 0 and $2\pi$ and
                  these two bounds are tight, which can be shown by an
                  analytic solution for a regular $n$-gon.},

In a semi-simple drawing, edge pairs might intersect in multiple points, but incident edges only intersect in their common endpoint. A rotation system is called (semi-)realizable if it can be realized with a (semi-)simple drawing. It is known that a rotation system is realizable if and only if all its 5-tuples are realizable. For the problem of characterizing semi-realizability, we present a rotation system with six vertices that is not semi-realizable, although all its 5-tuples are semi-realizable. Moreover, by an exhaustive computer search, we show that also for seven vertices there exist minimal not semi-realizable rotation systems (that is, rotation systems in which all proper sub-rotation systems are semi-realizable). This indicates that checking semi-realizability is harder than checking realizability.  Finally we show that for semi-simple drawings, generalizations of Conway's Thrackle Conjecture and the conjecture on the existence of plane Hamiltonian cycles do not hold.},

  abstract = {Let $P$ be a set of $n$ labeled points in the plane.
The \emph{radial system} of~$P$ describes, for each
$p\in P$, the order in which a ray that rotates
around $p$ encounters the points in $P \setminus \{p\}$.
This notion is related to the \emph{order type}
of~$P$, which describes the orientation (clockwise
or counterclockwise) of every ordered triple in~$P$.
Given only the order type, the radial
system is uniquely determined and can
easily be obtained. The converse, however,
is not true.  Indeed, let $R$ be the radial system
of $P$, and let $T(R)$ be the set of all order
types with radial system $R$
(we define $T(R) = \emptyset$ for the
case that $R$ is not a valid radial system).
Aichholzer \etal~(\emph{Reconstructing
Point Set Order Types from Radial Orderings}, in
Proc.~ISAAC 2014) show that
$T(R)$ may contain up to $n-1$ order types.
They also provide polynomial-time algorithms to
compute $T(R)$ when only $R$ is given.
We describe a new algorithm for
finding $T(R)$.  The algorithm constructs the convex
hulls of all possible point sets with the radial
system $R$. After that, orientation queries on point triples
can be answered in constant time. A representation of this set of convex
hulls can be found in $O(n)$ queries to the radial system,
using $O(n)$ additional processing time. This is optimal.
Our results also generalize
to \emph{abstract order types}.},

existence of a convex $k$-gon in every sufficiently large point set. Two players take turns to place
points in the Euclidean plane and the game is over as soon as the first $k$-gon appears. In the
Maker-Maker setting the player who placed the last point wins, while in the Avoider-Avoider
version this player loses.  Combined versions like Maker-Breaker are also possible.  Moreover,
variants can be obtained by considering that (1) the points to be placed are either uncolored or
bichromatic, (2) both players have their own color or can play with both colors, (3) the
$k$-gon must be empty of other points, or (4) the $k$-gon has to be convex.}},

Motivated by sensor networks, our goal is that each layer is connected, spanning, and plane. No edge in this connection network is too long in comparison to the length needed to obtain a spanning tree. We consider two different approaches. First we show an almost optimal centralized approach to extract two layers. Then we consider a distributed model in which each point can compute its adjacencies using only information about vertices at most a predefined distance away. We show a constant factor approximation with respect to the length of the longest edge in the graphs. In both cases the obtained layers are plane.},
