Grade for hw4 for Chris Logie: Problem 1. (a) 5 out of 5 points. Your arguments could have been tighter (e.g., if the weight of p_0 to p_7 are 3+epsilon more than the weight of p_8, then p_8 would have been redundant) If is less than 3 more it would not be. (b) 4 out of 5 points. The argument is basically right, but somewhat incomplete. The basic lemma is this: if the vector p+r makes an angle GREATER than 90 degrees with the vector q-p, then for t>0 sufficiently large, the weighted distance of p+tr from p would be greated than the weighted distance of p+tr from q. This is easily shown by an explicit computation involving trigonometry. If p is a vertex of the convex hull, and q is any other point in the convex hull, then we can choose a vector r with the property of the lemma. QED Problem 2. (a) t(n) is Omega(n^2). 5 out of 5 (b) Does every tetrahedralization of S have Omega(n^2) tetras? Answer is NO. 0 out of 5. Your argument claims that every tetra must have 2 vertices from the z-axis. But actually, we can have tetras with only 1 vertex from the z-axis and 3 from the circle. If you arrange this properly, you can get away with only O(n log n) tetras. (c)
