This book was released on 1991 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Algorithms in computational geometry often use the real-RAM model of computation. In particular, this model assumes that exact real numbers can be stored in and retrieved from memory in constant $O$ (1) time, and that field operations (+, -, *, /) and certain other operations (like square root, sine and cosine) are also "exact,'' and can be applied in constant time.

Download or read book Handbook of Discrete and Computational Geometry written by Csaba D. Toth and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 1928 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Handbook of Discrete and Computational Geometry is intended as a reference book fully accessible to nonspecialists as well as specialists, covering all major aspects of both fields. The book offers the most important results and methods in discrete and computational geometry to those who use them in their work, both in the academic world—as researchers in mathematics and computer science—and in the professional world—as practitioners in fields as diverse as operations research, molecular biology, and robotics. Discrete geometry has contributed significantly to the growth of discrete mathematics in recent years. This has been fueled partly by the advent of powerful computers and by the recent explosion of activity in the relatively young field of computational geometry. This synthesis between discrete and computational geometry lies at the heart of this Handbook. A growing list of application fields includes combinatorial optimization, computer-aided design, computer graphics, crystallography, data analysis, error-correcting codes, geographic information systems, motion planning, operations research, pattern recognition, robotics, solid modeling, and tomography.
Download or read book Handbook of Discrete and Computational Geometry Second Edition written by Csaba D. Toth and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2004-04-13 with total page 1557 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While high-quality books and journals in this field continue to proliferate, none has yet come close to matching the Handbook of Discrete and Computational Geometry, which in its first edition, quickly became the definitive reference work in its field. But with the rapid growth of the discipline and the many advances made over the past seven years, it's time to bring this standard-setting reference up to date. Editors Jacob E. Goodman and Joseph O'Rourke reassembled their stellar panel of contributors, added manymore, and together thoroughly revised their work to make the most important results and methods, both classic and cutting-edge, accessible in one convenient volume. Now over more then 1500 pages, the Handbook of Discrete and Computational Geometry, Second Edition once again provides unparalleled, authoritative coverage of theory, methods, and applications. Highlights of the Second Edition: Thirteen new chapters: Five on applications and others on collision detection, nearest neighbors in high-dimensional spaces, curve and surface reconstruction, embeddings of finite metric spaces, polygonal linkages, the discrepancy method, and geometric graph theory Thorough revisions of all remaining chapters Extended coverage of computational geometry software, now comprising two chapters: one on the LEDA and CGAL libraries, the other on additional software Two indices: An Index of Defined Terms and an Index of Cited Authors Greatly expanded bibliographies
Download or read book LEDA written by Kurt Mehlhorn and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1999-11-11 with total page 1050 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LEDA is a library of efficient data types and algorithms and a platform for combinatorial and geometric computing on which application programs can be built. In each of the core computer science areas of data structures, graph and network algorithms, and computational geometry, LEDA covers all (and more) that is found in the standard textbooks. LEDA is the first such library; it is written in C++ and is available on many types of machine. Whilst the software is freely available worldwide and is installed at hundreds of sites, this is the first book devoted to the library. Written by the main authors of LEDA, it is the definitive account, describing how the system is constructed and operates and how it can be used. The authors supply ample examples from a range of areas to show how the library can be used in practice, making the book essential for all workers in algorithms, data structures and computational geometry.

Download or read book A Paradigm for Robust Geometric Algorithms written by John E. Hopcroft and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geometrical algorithms in use in computer aided design systems today often fail for numerical reasons. The cause of these failures usually can be traced to logical decisions such as branch on zero that depend on the results of numerical calculations. Numerical inaccuracies, introduced either in the initial data or in the finite-precision arithmetic that is used, may result in a set of logical decisions that are inconsistent. This loss of logical consistency usually proves fatal to the algorithm. Our interest is in geometric algorithms that are robust in the sense that they are provably immune to such potential problems. This paper explores a paradigm that should have wide applicability for producing robust algorithms, and it applies the paradigm to the task of intersecting two convex polyhedral objects. The paradigm was previously used in an implementation of an algorithm for intersecting polyhedral objects that was substantially more robust than algorithms implemented earlier. This paper is a first step in developing a mathematical framework that justifies the underlying ideas in this implementation. In particular, an important tool in this work is a method of manipulating embedded polyhedra in ways consistent with their topology. (kr).
