On March 8th, Justin Malestein will give a talk in the Geometry Seminar at NYU. Title: Generic Periodic Rigidity Abstract: A periodic framework in the plane is an infinite structure, periodic with respect to a lattice and made of fixed-length … Continue reading
Louis Theran’s talks at SODA and Penn
Consider the following simple process. Start with n points in the Euclidean plane, allowed to move freely. Now, uniformly at random, pick a pair of the points, and fix the distance between them, and then repeat this step. Eventually, the … Continue reading
