Semi-monotone sets

Saugata Basu, Andrei Gabrielov, Nicolai Vorobjov (2013)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

A coordinate cone in n is an intersection of some coordinate hyperplanes and open coordinate half-spaces. A semi-monotone set is an open bounded subset of n , definable in an o-minimal structure over the reals, such that its intersection with any translation of any coordinate cone is connected. This notion can be viewed as a generalization of convexity. Semi-monotone sets have a number of interesting geometric and combinatorial properties. The main result of the paper is that every semi-monotone...

Sets Expressible as Unions of Staircase n -Convex Polygons

Marilyn Breen (2011)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

Let k and n be fixed, k 1 , n 1 , and let S be a simply connected orthogonal polygon in the plane. For T S , T lies in a staircase n -convex orthogonal polygon P in S if and only if every two points of T see each other via staircase n -paths in S . This leads to a characterization for those sets S expressible as a union of k staircase n -convex polygons P i , 1 i k .
