On the hardness of minkowski addition and related operations
2007
Proceedings of the twenty-third annual symposium on Computational geometry - SCG '07
Since the convex hull of the union and the intersection of two polytopes relate naturally to the Minkowski sum via the Cayley trick and polarity, similar hardness results follow for these operations as ...
For polytopes P, Q ⊂ R d we consider the intersection P ∩ Q; the convex hull of the union CH(P ∪ Q); and the Minkowski sum P + Q. ...
HARDNESS OF MINKOWSKI ADDITION In We prove this by providing a polynomial-time Turing reduction from a coNP-Hard problem to this problem. ...

On the Hardness of Computing Intersection, Union and Minkowski Sum of Polytopes
2008
Discrete & Computational Geometry
For the intersection, we prove that computing the facets or the vertices of the intersection of two polytopes is NP-hard if one of them is given by vertices and the other by facets. ...
For the Minkowski sum, we prove that enumerating the facets of P 1 + P 2 is NP-hard if P 1 and P 2 are specified by facets, or if P 1 is specified by vertices and P 2 is a polyhedral cone specified by ...
The author would also like to thank Günter Rote for helpful discussions relating to Sect. 3.1 and Raimund Seidel for extremely helpful comments regarding the content and the structure of this paper and ...

Computational complexity of determining which statements about causality hold in different space–time models
2008
Theoretical Computer Science
Causality is one of the most fundamental notions of physics. It is therefore important to be able to decide which statements about causality are correct in different models of space-time. ...
In particular, we show that: • for Minkowski space-time, the decision problem is as difficult as Tarski's decision problem for elementary geometry, while • for a natural model of primordial space-time, ...
To get a reduction, we need to describe: • real numbers, • the relation ≤ on real numbers, and • two arithmetic operations with these real numbers: . addition and . multiplication. ...

Polygonal Boundary Evaluation of Minkowski Sums and Swept Volumes
2010
Computer graphics forum (Print)
These sweep operations include Minkowski addition, offsetting, and sweeping along a discrete rigid motion trajectory. ...
Many previous methods focus on the construction of a polygonal superset (containing self-intersections and spurious internal geometry) of the boundary of the volumes which are swept. ...
The case of translationally sweeping a solid by another one is known as Minkowski addition, the special case of one of them being a sphere is referred to as offsetting. ...

Gravitational cusp anomalous dimension from AdS space

Physical Review D
The results may be useful in examining the relations between gauge and gravity theories. ...
By making a particular coordinate transform, the calculation of the cusp anomalous dimension in QED or QCD can be related to the energy of a pair of static charges in Euclidean Anti-de-Sitter (AdS) space ...
In addition, the cancellation of collinear singularities was generalised from soft to hard collinear configurations. ...
