Computational Geometry Papers of the Week

The 20 most important new Computational Geometry papers of the past week, ranked by potential impact. A new issue comes out every Monday, covering the previous Monday-to-Sunday week.

Nov 2 - 8, 2026 · Updated · Category: Computational Geometry (arXiv cs.CG)

  1. 1
    The Containment Polytope of A Triangle and A Convex Polygon

    We explain geometrically how the triangle $P$ rotates while continuously scaling and translating to be maximal inside $Q$, leading to a parameterized algorithm for containment problems.

  2. 2
    The Importance of Phase Equilibria and Diffusion in High-Throughput and Autonomous Materials Discovery

    However, identifying a structure near the zero-temperature convex hull or detecting its signature in a synthesis product does not, by itself, establish materials discovery. In this perspective, we argue that finite-temperature phase equilibria and transformation kinetics should guide these eff orts from the outset.

  3. 3
    Softmax Attention with Any Temperature in Fixed Dimension: Matching The Best Known Maximum-Inner-Product Bounds

    For every fixed dimension $d$, we give an algorithm for $m$ queries, $n$ key-value pairs, and additive error $\varepsilon$, with expected time $ \widetilde{\mathrm{O}}\bigl((mn)^{k/(k+1)}+m+n\bigr),\qquad k=\lfloor d/2\rfloor.

  4. 4
    Computational Workflow Integrating Differential Growth and Robotic WAAM for Fabrication-aware Architectural Design: A furniture-scale Demonstrator

    The research formalizes a parameter-driven design-to-fabrication framework bridging computational modeling and robotic metal deposition, providing a transferable methodology that can inform applications beyond prototype-scale fabrication while preserving architectural design intent.

  5. 5
    Assessment of Urban Expansion and Spatial Redistribution of Built-Up Areas in Varanasi, India

    This study addresses the research gap in quantifying fine-scale spatiotemporal urban transformations by employing the Normalized Difference Built-up Index (NDBI) from Sentinel-2 imagery over the period of 2019–2025.

  1. 6
    Implicit Additively Weighted Geodesic Voronoi Diagrams and Applications

    Our algorithm introduces a new sweep-line paradigm that avoids explicitly constructing the diagram, together with a novel technique for point location in implicit subdivisions.

  2. 7
    CONVEXITY WITH SOFT APPROXIMATE FUNCTION UNDER FUZZY SOFT EXPERT SET ENVIRONMENT

    In this study, some types of convexity, like strictly (strongly) convexity, (λ,ψ)-convexity with different senses over fuzzy soft expert set, have been described with the numerical examples.

  3. 8
    Stacking Stars: Minimum-Area Packing with and Without Rotation

    We study the problem of packing a given set of polygons into a minimum-area convex container, that is, placing them without overlap so as to minimize the area of their convex hull.

  4. 9
    An $\mathsf{FPRAS}$ for Mixed Volumes

    The purpose of this paper is to provide a human-written exposition of the algorithm.

  5. 10
    Constant Approximation of Fréchet Distance in Near-Linear Time

    We present a deterministic algorithm that approximates the Fréchet distance between two polygonal curves in $\mathbb{R}^d$ with $n$ and $m$ vertices within a constant factor in $O((m+n)^{1+\varepsilon})$ time, for every fixed $\varepsilon>0$ and fixed dimension $d$.

    Hamiltonian Cycle Construction in Rectangular Grid Graphs with Three-Stacked Triangular Holes

    In this paper, we investigate Hamiltonian cycle construction in rectangular grid graphs containing a three-stacked right-triangular hole.

    Evolution Strategy-Assisted TD3 for Continuous Control: Policy-Update Analysis and Plant-State Boundedness

    This study presents ES–TD3, an evolution strategy-assisted Twin Delayed Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient framework that combines population-based actor-parameter search with off-policy learning.

    Evaluation of Tremor Degree Using Triangulation Estimation for IMU Volumetric Method Based on Robust Mahalanobis Distance for Outlier Detection

    This article presents a novel proof-of-concept study that lays the foundation for objective tremor quantification based on inertial measurement unit (IMU) signals.

    From Static Models to Editable CAD: A Design-Intent-Aware Framework for Reverse Parametrization

    This study presents a design-intent-aware reverse-parametrization framework that converts history-free STEP parts into editable Grasshopper definitions and represents their assembly relations.

  10. 15
    Fixed-Radius Neighbourhoods in Three-Dimensional Unit-Cube Graphs

    Its proof uses groups ordered in two coordinates, with neighbouring groups acting as barriers that preserve this invariant when one layer is removed. Combining these bounds with the existing interval-representation framework, we obtain a Las Vegas algorithm that, for every fixed integer $\Delta\ge1$, decides whether a graph given by $n$ cube centres has diameter at most $\Delta$ in expected $O_\Delta(n^{2-\varepsilon_\Delta})$ time, for an explicit constant $\varepsilon_\Delta>0$.

    Covering Large-Dimensional Euclidean Spaces By Random Translates of A Given Convex Body

We prove that there are ball coverings of $$\mathbb {R}^n$$ R n attaining the asymptotically best known density $$\left( 1/2+ o(1)\right) n \ln n$$ 1 / 2 + o ( 1 ) n ln n such that, additionally, every point of $$\mathbb {R}^n$$ R n is covered at most $$\left( 1.79556... + o(1)\right) n \ln n$$ 1.79556 . . . + o ( 1 ) n ln n times.

    High-Throughput Exploration of Perovskite Oxides for Chemical Looping Air Separation

    Here, a rational approach to designing perovskite oxides with phase stability and oxygen storage capacity under thermodynamically favorable conditions is presented.

    Research on Basketball Defensive Strategy Modeling Based on Movement Trajectory Data

    In order to formulate a reasonable defense plan, this paper uses the NBA tracking data and builds a defense scheduling model based on MIP.

  14. 19
    Pair-Relative Partial Equivariance for Rotation-Robust Keypoint Descriptor Matching

    We propose pair-relative partial equivariance, which measures equivariance under the empirical distribution of relative rotations in image pairs, and PaSteer, a relaxed descriptor-steering framework that allows the steering map to leave the exact representation manifold while retaining the lightweight, backbone-free design of steering.
