Content

This course is meant to be a first course in Computational Geometry. After this course, the participants will have acquired good knowledge about core topics in Computational Geometry that by now have gathered a significant amount of research and practical applications. The participants will be able to handle common design paradigms of geometric algorithms such as divide-and-conquer, sweep-line, as well as probabilistic. They will also be able to design and analyze geometric algorithms taking into consideration inherent intricacies of geometric computations. Topics on this course include among other:

  1. Geometric Primitives
  2. Convex Hulls
  3. Polygon Triangulation
  4. Voronoi Diagrams
  5. Delaunay Triangulation
  6. Point Location and Proximity
  7. Degeneracies and Robustness
  8. Arrangements and Duality

References The course will not follow any book in particular but below there is a list of relevant literature.
