8 Partitions and Layouts Vertices and Chords Consider a set S of solid rectangles with a bounding rectangle B in the plane so that each R S has R B. The rectilinear layout for S in B is denoted L = B, S. Let F = B \ R S R be the free space of L. Definition A rectilinear partition of L is a set P of non-overlapping rectangles so that F = R P R. The rectangles in P are called space rectangles. Note: Non-overlapping does not include borders touching. 8 / 38

9 Analogue in Polygons When the free space F is connected, then the border of F is a rectilinear polygon. If that polygon is simple, we say that the layout L is simple. Partitions and Layouts Vertices and Chords 9 / 38

10 Vertices and Chords Partitions and Layouts Vertices and Chords A corner of a rectangle R S is called a vertex. Definition If a vertex has an angle of 270 degrees in the free space F, then that vertex is a concave vertex. Otherwise, it is a convex vertex. 10 / 38

15 Chords and Cogrid Vertices Partitions and Layouts Vertices and Chords Definition Two concave vertices are cohorizontal if there is a horizontal line from one to the other that lies in F. Two concave vertices are covertical if there is a vertical line from one to the other in F. Two vertices are cogrid if either condition holds. Definition A chord is a line between two cogrid vertices. 15 / 38

18 on Simple Polygons With Cogrid Vertices Simple Polygons Non-simple Polygons Define the chord intersection graph as G = (X Y, E), a bipartite graph where X is the set of horizontal chords in L, Y is the set of vertical chords in L, and an edge xy is in E if and only if the chords x and y intersect, possibly at a vertex. Theorem A simple layout L = B, S has a minimum partition of size N α(g) + 1, where N is the number of concave vertices and α(g) is the independence number of the chord intersection graph. 18 / 38

29 29 / 38 on Non-simple Polygons The Issue with Holes Simple Polygons Non-simple Polygons

30 30 / 38 Algorithmic The First Approach In 1984, Ferrari, Sankar, & Sklansky used an existing algorithm for finding maximum independent sets in bipartite graphs to solve this problem in O(n 2 ).

31 31 / 38 Algorithmic A Better Approach In 1986, Imai & Asano defined an algorithm for maximum independent sets of horizontal and vertical line segments in O(n 3/2 log n). This can be immediately applied to the chord intersection graph.

32 32 / 38 Algorithmic The Fastest Approach (So Far) In 1989, Liou, Tan, & Lee used a branch-and-bound technique to solve the problem for simple polygons in O(n log log n). This required the use of the following lemma: Lemma (Lipski & Preparata) Let G = (X Y, E) be a bipartite graph. Let xy E. If N(x) N(x ) for all x N(y), then there exists a maximum matching containing the edge xy.

33 33 / 38 Covers Removing the non-overlapping requirement from the partition definition results in a cover. The rectilinear cover problem is NP-Complete for polygons with holes. The rectilinear border-cover problem is NP-Complete for polygons with holes, even if the polygon is in general position.

The radius for a regular polygon is the same as the radius of the circumscribed circle.

The radius for a regular polygon is the same as the radius of the circumscribed circle. Perimeter and Area The perimeter and area of geometric shapes are basic properties that we need to know. The more complex a shape is, the more complex the process can be in finding its perimeter and area.
