    The Geodesic Diameter of Polygonal Domains

    by Sang Won Bae, Matias Korman, Yoshio Okamoto

    This paper studies the geodesic diameter of polygonal domains having h holes and n corners. For simple polygons (i.e., h = 0), the geodesic diameter is determined by a pair of corners of a given polygon and can be computed in linear time, as known by Hershberger and Suri. For general polygonal domains with h >= 1, however, no algorithm for computing the geodesic diameter was known prior to this paper. In this paper, we present the first algorithms that compute the geodesic diameter of a given polygonal domain in worst-case time O(n^7.73) or O(n^7 (log n + h)). The main difficulty unlike the simple polygon case relies on the following observation revealed in this paper: two interior points can determine the geodesic diameter and in that case there exist at least five distinct shortest paths between the two.

    Not All Saturated 3-Forests Are Tight

    by Heidi Gebauer, Anna Gundert, Robin A. Moser, Yoshio Okamoto

    A basic statement in graph theory is that every inclusion-maximal forest is connected, i.e. a tree. Using a definiton for higher dimensional forests by Graham and Lovasz and the connectivity-related notion of tightness for hypergraphs introduced by Arocha, Bracho and Neumann-Lara in, we provide an example of a saturated, i.e. inclusion-maximal 3-forest that is not tight. This resolves an open problem posed by Strausz.
