text: 'A face in a curve arrangement is called popular if it is bounded by the same
curve multiple times. Motivated by the automatic generation of curved nonogram
puzzles, we investigate possibilities to eliminate the popular faces in an arrangement
by inserting a single additional curve. This turns out to be NP-hard; however,
it becomes tractable when the number of popular faces is small: We present a probabilistic
FPT-approach in the number of popular faces.'

text: 'The input to the token swapping problem is a graph with vertices v1, v2,
. . . , vn, and n tokens with labels 1,2, . . . , n, one on each vertex. The goal
is to get token i to vertex vi for all i= 1, . . . , n using a minimum number
of swaps, where a swap exchanges the tokens on the endpoints of an edge.Token
swapping on a tree, also known as “sorting with a transposition tree,” is not
known to be in P nor NP-complete. We present some partial results: 1. An optimum
swap sequence may need to perform a swap on a leaf vertex that has the correct
token (a “happy leaf”), disproving a conjecture of Vaughan. 2. Any algorithm that
fixes happy leaves—as all known approximation algorithms for the problem do—has
approximation factor at least 4/3. Furthermore, the two best-known 2-approximation
algorithms have approximation factor exactly 2. 3. A generalized problem—weighted
coloured token swapping—is NP-complete on trees, but solvable in polynomial time
on paths and stars. In this version, tokens and vertices have colours, and colours
have weights. The goal is to get every token to a vertex of the same colour, and
the cost of a swap is the sum of the weights of the two tokens involved.'

text: A matching is compatible to two or more labeled point sets of size n with
labels {1, . . . , n} if its straight-line drawing on each of these point sets
is crossing-free. We study the maximum number of edges in a matching compatible
to two or more labeled point sets in general position in the plane. We show that
for any two labeled sets of n points in convex position there exists a compatible
matching with ⌊√2n + 1 − 1⌋ edges. More generally, for any ℓ labeled point sets
we construct compatible matchings of size Ω(n1/ℓ). As a corresponding upper bound,
we use probabilistic arguments to show that for any ℓ given sets of n points there
exists a labeling of each set such that the largest compatible matching has O(n2/(ℓ+1))
edges. Finally, we show that Θ(log n) copies of any set of n points are necessary
and sufficient for the existence of labelings of these point sets such that any
compatible matching consists only of a single edge.

text: When can a polyomino piece of paper be folded into a unit cube? Prior work
studied tree-like polyominoes, but polyominoes with holes remain an intriguing
open problem. We present sufficient conditions for a polyomino with one or several
holes to fold into a cube, and conditions under which cube folding is impossible.
In particular, we show that all but five special “basic” holes guarantee foldability.

text: "This thesis considers two examples of reconfiguration problems: flipping
edges in edge-labelled triangulations of planar point sets and swapping labelled
tokens placed on vertices of a graph. In both cases the studied structures – all
the triangulations of a given point set or all token placements on a given graph
– can be thought of as vertices of the so-called reconfiguration graph, in which
two vertices are adjacent if the corresponding structures differ by a single elementary
operation – by a flip of a diagonal in a triangulation or by a swap of tokens
on adjacent vertices, respectively. We study the reconfiguration of one instance
of a structure into another via (shortest) paths in the reconfiguration graph.\r\n\r\nFor
triangulations of point sets in which each edge has a unique label and a flip
transfers the label from the removed edge to the new edge, we prove a polynomial-time
testable condition, called the Orbit Theorem, that characterizes when two triangulations
of the same point set lie in the same connected component of the reconfiguration
graph. The condition was first conjectured by Bose, Lubiw, Pathak and Verdonschot.
We additionally provide a polynomial time algorithm that computes a reconfiguring
flip sequence, if it exists. Our proof of the Orbit Theorem uses topological properties
of a certain high-dimensional cell complex that has the usual reconfiguration
graph as its 1-skeleton.\r\n\r\nIn the context of token swapping on a tree graph,
we make partial progress on the problem of finding shortest reconfiguration sequences.
We disprove the so-called Happy Leaf Conjecture and demonstrate the importance
of swapping tokens that are already placed at the correct vertices. We also prove
that a generalization of the problem to weighted coloured token swapping is NP-hard
on trees but solvable in polynomial time on paths and stars."

text: "Given a triangulation of a point set in the plane, a flip deletes an edge
e whose removal leaves a convex quadrilateral, and replaces e by the opposite
diagonal of the quadrilateral. It is well known that any triangulation of a point
set can be reconfigured to any other triangulation by some sequence of flips.
We explore this question in the setting where each edge of a triangulation has
a label, and a flip transfers the label of the removed edge to the new edge. It
is not true that every labelled triangulation of a point set can be reconfigured
to every other labelled triangulation via a sequence of flips, but we characterize
when this is possible. There is an obvious necessary condition: for each label
l, if edge e has label l in the first triangulation and edge f has label l in
the second triangulation, then there must be some sequence of flips that moves
label l from e to f, ignoring all other labels. Bose, Lubiw, Pathak and Verdonschot
formulated the Orbit Conjecture, which states that this necessary condition is
also sufficient, i.e. that all labels can be simultaneously mapped to their destination
if and only if each label individually can be mapped to its destination. We prove
this conjecture. Furthermore, we give a polynomial-time algorithm (with \U0001D442(\U0001D45B8)
being a crude bound on the run-time) to find a sequence of flips to reconfigure
one labelled triangulation to another, if such a sequence exists, and we prove
an upper bound of \U0001D442(\U0001D45B7) on the length of the flip sequence.
Our proof uses the topological result that the sets of pairwise non-crossing edges
on a planar point set form a simplicial complex that is homeomorphic to a high-dimensional
ball (this follows from a result of Orden and Santos; we give a different proof
based on a shelling argument). The dual cell complex of this simplicial ball,
called the flip complex, has the usual flip graph as its 1-skeleton. We use properties
of the 2-skeleton of the flip complex to prove the Orbit Conjecture."

text: "The input to the token swapping problem is a graph with vertices v1, v2,
. . . , vn, and n tokens with labels 1,2, . . . , n, one on each vertex. The
goal is to get token i to vertex vi for all i= 1, . . . , n using a minimum number
of swaps, where a swap exchanges the tokens on the endpoints of an edge.Token
swapping on a tree, also known as “sorting with a transposition tree,” is not
known to be in P nor NP-complete. We present some partial results:\r\n1. An
optimum swap sequence may need to perform a swap on a leaf vertex that has the
correct token (a “happy leaf”), disproving a conjecture of Vaughan.\r\n2. Any
algorithm that fixes happy leaves—as all known approximation algorithms for the
problem do—has approximation factor at least 4/3. Furthermore, the two best-known
2-approximation algorithms have approximation factor exactly 2.\r\n3. A generalized
problem—weighted coloured token swapping—is NP-complete on trees, but solvable
in polynomial time on paths and stars. In this version, tokens and vertices
\ have colours, and colours have weights. The goal is to get every
token to a vertex of the same colour, and the cost of a swap is the sum of the
weights of the two tokens involved."

text: 'Given a triangulation of a point set in the plane, a flip deletes an edge
e whose removal leaves a convex quadrilateral, and replaces e by the opposite
diagonal of the quadrilateral. It is well known that any triangulation of a point
set can be reconfigured to any other triangulation by some sequence of flips.
We explore this question in the setting where each edge of a triangulation has
a label, and a flip transfers the label of the removed edge to the new edge. It
is not true that every labelled triangulation of a point set can be reconfigured
to every other labelled triangulation via a sequence of flips, but we characterize
when this is possible. There is an obvious necessary condition: for each label
l, if edge e has label l in the first triangulation and edge f has label l in
the second triangulation, then there must be some sequence of flips that moves
label l from e to f, ignoring all other labels. Bose, Lubiw, Pathak and Verdonschot
formulated the Orbit Conjecture, which states that this necessary condition is
also sufficient, i.e. that all labels can be simultaneously mapped to their destination
if and only if each label individually can be mapped to its destination. We prove
this conjecture. Furthermore, we give a polynomial-time algorithm to find a sequence
of flips to reconfigure one labelled triangulation to another, if such a sequence
exists, and we prove an upper bound of O(n7) on the length of the flip sequence.
Our proof uses the topological result that the sets of pairwise non-crossing edges
on a planar point set form a simplicial complex that is homeomorphic to a high-dimensional
ball (this follows from a result of Orden and Santos; we give a different proof
based on a shelling argument). The dual cell complex of this simplicial ball,
called the flip complex, has the usual flip graph as its 1-skeleton. We use properties
of the 2-skeleton of the flip complex to prove the Orbit Conjecture.'
