Syllabus

Convex polygons (intersections, incidence, convex hulls --- Graham scan, Jarvis march, gift wrapping, algorithms in higher dimensions).
Voronoi diagrams and applications (divide and conquer algorithm, generalizations and diagrams of higher orders, applications, the nearest neighbor problem, use of geometric transformations).
Triangulations and searching in plane partitions (Delaunay triangulation, the greedy triangulation, the problem with some given edges, geometric searching, the strip method, the method of pathes, reduced search structures, the method of iterative refinement).
Intersections (intersection of segments --- the sweep paradigm, intersection of half-planes and convex polygons, aplications and higher dimensional algorithms).
Range searching (multidimensional binary trees, the direct access method, segment trees).
Iso-orthogonal objects (the area and the circumference of a union of rectangulars, intersections).
