Almost all ICPC problems have at least one geometry problem. If you are lucky, it will ask for some geometry solution that you have learned before. Usually, you draw the geometrical object and use the same technique from some basic geometric problems. However, many geometry problems are the complications that often require some complex algorithms. In 101, the vastness of geometry-specific problems depends on the tasks chosen by the Scientific Committee in the last few years (2000 and 2010). ICPC has not let us tackle purely geometry problems. However, in other years, there exists one or two geometry-related problems per year [10]. We have observed that many contestants, especially ICPC contestants, are afraid to tackle geometry-related problems due to two logical reasons: 1. The solutions for geometry-related problems have lower probability of getting Accepted (AC) during contests compared to the solutions for other problem types in the same contest, like Graph and Dynamic Programming problems. This makes contestants shy to approach the problem as more trustworthy than spending precious minutes coding geometry solutions that have lower probability of acceptance. - There are usually truly "special corner cases" in geometry problems, e.g., What if the lines are vertical (talking quadrants)? What if the inputs are collinear? What if the polygon is convex, etc.? It is usually a good idea to bring your team’s geometry solution and establish those cases before you submit it to judges. - There is a possibility of having floating point precision errors that cause even a ‘correct’ solution that has lower probability of acceptance. 2. The contests are not well prepared. - The contestants often forget some important basic formulas or unable to derive the necessary formulas from the basic ones. - Some students do not know how to use well-written library functions and their attempts to code such functions that yield similar results often end up with bugs (e.g., bugs in ICP). The top teams usually find these easy problems hard enough (which can bring them to an empty result) with lots of geometry formulas and library functions. --- *We differentiate between pure geometry problems and the computational geometry ones. Geometry problems can sometimes be solved with standard geometry techniques. Computational geometry problems typically require designing an algorithm using concepts to obtain the solution.* #################### File: Competitive%20Programming%2C%202nd%20Edition%20-%20Steven%20Halim%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 191 Context: # Chapter 7 **(Computational) Geometry** > Let no man ignorant of geometry enter here. > — Plato's Academy in Athens ## 7.1 Overview and Motivation **(Computational Geometry)** is yet another topic that frequently appears in programming contests.

This chapter offers some ideas on handling geometric problems in ICPC contests. Given that geometry is often perceived to be a tricky subject, we pass primarily (it is impossible to exhaustively explain all the necessary concepts) this section over basic geometric terminology and certain numerical aspects given in programming contests. Here, we aim to make a quick reference available. In Section 7.3, we discuss algorithms on 2D polygons. There are several zero-one properties for deciding if a point lies on or inside a convex polygon, as well as generalizing these to polygons. The following sections will address the basic geometric objects, particularly in relation to bounding or searching in multi-dimensional spaces. The appendix presents algorithms for more complicated geometric problems, such as those listed in Dynamic Programming approaches. We highlight the special cases that can arise and/or the constraints that describe the number of edges and special cases. We try to avoid floating point operations (e.g., division, square root, and other operations that can produce imprecise results) and work with precise integers whenever possible (e.g., integer multiplication, sums, multiplications). If we really need to work with floating point, we do floating-point equality tests by using: `fabs(a - b) < EPS` where `EPS` is a small number like 1e-12 instead of testing `a == b`. ## 7.2 Basic Geometry Objects with Libraries ### 7.2.1 2D Objects: Points 1. **Point**: A point is the building block of higher dimensional geometric objects. In 2D Euclidean space, points are typically represented with a struct in C++ (or Python in later examples): ```cpp struct point_t { int x, y; // basic form, initialized mode point_t(int _x, int _y) : x(_x), y(_y) {} // constructor (optional) }; ``` ```cpp struct point_d { double x, y; // only used if more precision is needed point_d(double _x, double _y) : x(_x), y(_y) {} // constructor bool operator<(const point_d &other) const { // for sorting return (fabs(x - other.x) > EPS) ? (x < other.x) : (y < other.y); // first criteria, y-axis } }; ``` *Note: The extra details for struct usage from various tutorials and textbooks will be helpful. Therefore, we would like to ensure familiarity with basic conventions in Euclidean space.* To make this clear, the 2D and 3D objects represent what we encounter in real life. #################### File: Competitive%20Programming%2C%202nd%20Edition%20-%20Steven%20Halim%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 195 Context: ```markdown # 7.2 BASIC GEOMETRY OBJECTS WITH LIBRARIES © Steven & Felix We can translate (move) a point with a vector as a vector describes the displacement magnitude in x and y axes. ```cpp struct vec { double x, y; vec(double x_j, double y_j) : x(x_j), y(y_j) {} }; vec vector(point p1, point p2) { return vec(p2.x - p1.x, p2.y - p1.y); // convert 2 points to vector } vec scaleVector(vec v, double s) { // nonnegative s = {1, 1 ... 3} return vec(v.x * s, v.y * s); // shorter v same as longer v } point translate(point p, vec v) { // translate p according to v return point{p.x + v.x, p.y + v.y}; } ``` ## Exercise 7.2.6 Translate a point (3, 0) according to a vector defined by point (2, 0) and (4, 0).

Studying this chapter for some ideas on handling geometrical properties in I/O problems and Codeforces contests is essential. We pass many (it is impossible to enumerate all) geometric techniques and variations based on forms like (2D, 2.5D, and 3D) geometry objects commonly found in programming contests. Here, we can use it as a quick reference with examples. In Section 7.2, we discuss applications in 2D polygons. There are several new techniques that we'd like to highlight with a distinctive focus on parameters defined by these algorithms. Firstly, if P is a point of a curve, defining a polygon with a set of points, creating a polygon is a straightforward process. This chapter will be dealt with by revisiting Divide and Conquer techniques that relate to geometry-related problems. The implementations and the formulas and computational geometry shown in this chapter are facilitating techniques to increase the probability of accommodations. We highlight the special cases that can arise and/or describe the implementation that reduces the number of standard special cases. We try to avoid floating point operations (e.g., division, square root, and any other operations that can produce numerical errors) and will only use precise integers whenever possible (e.g., integer multiplications, etc.). If we really need to work with floating point, we do floating-point equality tests by: ``` fabs(a - b) < EPS ``` where EPS is a small number like 10^-9 related to testing a = b. ## 7.2.1 2D Objects: Points 1. **Point** is the basic building block of higher-dimensional geometric objects. In 2D Euclidean space, points are usually represented with a struct in C++ (or in Class in Java) with two members: x and y coordinates that are integers, doubles, or long doubles. A construction can be (slightly) simplified using both. ```cpp // struct point { int x, y; } // basic form, minimalistic mode struct point_t { int x, y; // constructor (optional) point_t(int x_, int y_) : x(x_), y(y_) {} // constructor (optional) }; ``` ```cpp struct point_double { double x, y; // only used if precise is needed point_double(double x_, double y_) : x(x_), y(y_) {} // constructor bool operator <(const point_double &other) const { // for sorting if (fabs(x - other.x) > EPS) return x < other.x; // first criteria, by x-axis return y < other.y; // second criteria, by y-axis } }; ``` > **NOTE:** Code and results come from various tutorials and hackathons. Therefore, we would like to ensure familiarity with English conventions. To make this chapter, the 2D and 3D sections appear as they would in real life. #################### File: Competitive%20Programming%2C%202nd%20Edition%20-%20Steven%20Halim%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 198 Context: # 7.2 BASIC GEOMETRY OBJECTS WITH LIBRARIES © Steven & Felix 1. A circle with diameter \( d \) has circumference (or perimeter) \( c = \pi \times d \). 2. A circle with radius \( r \) has area \( A = \pi \times r^2 \). **Figure 7.2. Circles** 3. Arc of a circle is defined as a connected section of the circumference of the circle. Given the central angle \( \theta \) (angle with vertex at the circle's center, see Figure 7.2, right in degrees), we can compute the length of the corresponding arc as: \[ L = r \times \theta \quad (\text{in radians}) \] 4. Chord of a circle is the segment whose endpoints lie on the arc (radius \( r \) is the length of the circle). A circle with radius and a central angle \( \theta \) (in degrees) — see Figure 7.2 — has chords corresponding to lengths of \(\sqrt{2r^2(1 - \cos(\theta))}\) (in radians). This can help with complex calculations involving the circle's geometry. 5. Sector of a circle is defined as a region of the circle bounded by two radii and an arc lying between those two radii. A sector has area \( A \) and a central angle \( \theta \) (in degrees) — see Figure 7.2, right, where \( \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} r^2 \theta \). 6. Segment of a circle is defined as a region of the circle bounded by a chord and an arc lying above the chord — see Figure 7.2, right. The area of the segment can be computed by subtracting the area of the corresponding sector from the area of the inscribed triangle with vertices \( r, r, \text{and chord} \). 7. Given 2 points on the circle (point \( A \) and point \( B \)) and radius \( r \) of the corresponding circle, we can determine the tangent and outlines (\( c_1 \) and \( c_2 \)) of the two possible circles (see Figure 7.3). **Figure 7.3: Circle Through 2 Points and Radius** Example codes: `ch7.2/circles.cpp`, `ch7.2/circles.java` *"Human usually works with degrees, but many mathematical functions use not programming languages work with radians.

A sphere is a perfectly round geometrical object in 3D space. 2. The Great-Circle Distance between any two points A and B on a sphere is the shortest distance along the surface of the sphere. This path is on the arc of the Great-Circle of the sphere that passes through the two points A and B. We can imagine Great-Circle as the circle of the sphere that is formed when we cut the sphere in two such that we have two equal hemispheres (see Figure 7.7 left and middle). ![Figure 7.7: Left: Sphere; Middle: Hemisphere and Great-Circle; Right: d-Distance (A-B)](path_to_image) To find the Great-Circle Distance, we have to find the central angle ∠AOB (see Figure 7.7). The Great-Circle Circle is the outer edge of the Great-Circle which is also the center of the sphere. Given the radius of the sphere/Great-Circle, we can then determine the length of the arc AB, which is the required Great-Circle distance. #################### File: Competitive%20Programming%2C%202nd%20Edition%20-%20Steven%20Halim%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 193 Context: ``` # 7.2 BASIC GEOMETRY OBJECTS WITH LIBRARIES © Steven & Felix // In int main(), assuming we already have a populated vector P; // sort(P.begin(), P.end()); // comparison operator is defined above 3. We can easily test if two points are the same with the function below. Note the differences between integer and floating point versions. ```cpp bool areSame(point1, point2) { // integer version return (p1.x == p2.x && p1.y == p2.y); } bool areSame(point1, point2) { // floating point version // use EPS when testing equality of two floating points return fabs(p1.x - p2.x) < EPS && fabs(p1.y - p2.y) < EPS; } ``` 4. We can measure the Euclidean distance between two points by using the function below. ```cpp double dist(point1, point2) { // Euclidean distance // hypot(dx, dy) returns sqrt(dx * dx + dy * dy) return sqrt(pow(p1.x - p2.x, 2) + pow(p1.y - p2.y, 2)); } ``` **Exercise 7.2.1:** Compute the Euclidean distance between points (2,0) and (0,5)! 5. We can rotate a point by a certain angle around the origin using a rotate matrix. ```cpp // rotate by theta degrees counter-clockwise around origin. point rotatePoint(point p, double theta) { // rotation matrix R(theta) = [cos(theta) -sin(theta)] // [sin(theta) cos(theta)] double x = p.x * cos(theta) - p.y * sin(theta); double y = p.x * sin(theta) + p.y * cos(theta); return {x, y}; // return rotated point } ``` **Exercise 7.2.2:** Rotate a point (0, 1) 90 degrees counter-clockwise around origin. What is the new coordinates of the rotated point? (easy to compute by hand). ## 7.2.1 ID Objects: Lines 1. Line in C++ can be described as the set of points whose coordinates satisfy a given linear equation ax + by = c. Its associated functions in this subsection assume this linear equation is in 2D. Lines are typically represented in C/C++ classes using the standard form. The coefficients a, b, and c of the equation. ```cpp struct Line { double a, b, c; // a way to represent a line }; ``` **Exercise 7.2.3:** A line can also be described with this mathematical equation: y = mx + r where m is the 'slope' of the line and c is the 'intercept' constant. Which forms can be used to represent the slope-intercept form: y = mx + r? 2. We can compute the line's intersection point for two lines that pass through them using the following function. ```cpp // The Euclidean distance between two points is simply the distance that can be measured with real numbers. Algorithmically, // it would be best to break down to be able to study the selections shown below. Here, we only use a library function. ``` ``` #################### File: Competitive%20Programming%2C%202nd%20Edition%20-%20Steven%20Halim%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 194 Context: # 7.2 BASIC GEOMETRY OBJECTS WITH LIBRARIES **© Steven & Felix** ```cpp // the answer is stored in the third parameter (pass by reference) void pointOnLine(point& p1, point& p2, line& l) { if (p1.x == p2.x) { // vertical line is handled here l.a = 1.0; l.b = 0.0; // default values l.c = -p1.x; } else { l.a = -(double)(p2.y - p1.y) / (p2.x - p1.x); l.b = 1.0; l.c = -(l.a * p1.x + l.b * p1.y); } } ## Exercises ### Exercise 7.2.2 Complete the line equation that passes through two points (2, 2) and (4, 4). ### Exercise 7.2.3 Suppose we need to use the other line equation, `y = mx + b`, to compute the required line equation given two points that pass through that line! Try on points (2, 2) and (4, 4) in Exercise 7.2.2. Now compute your own line equation. ### Exercise 7.2.5 We can actually compute the required line equation if we only know two points. You are invited to think about that! Show how to compute the line equation with a point and a gradient. 3. We can determine whether two lines are parallel by checking if their coefficients are the same. You can find out whether two lines are the same by checking if their coefficients are the same (i.e., all their coefficients are equal). ```cpp bool areParallel(Line l1, Line l2) { return (fabs(l1.a) < EPS && fabs(l2.a) < EPS); // check coefficient a } bool areSame(Line l1, Line l2) { return (fabs(l1.a - l2.a) < EPS); // also check coefficient c } bool areParallel(Line l1, Line l2, point& p) { if (areSame(l1, l2)) return false; // no intersection } ``` 4. If two lines are the same and are not parallel, they will intersect at a point. That intersection point \( (x, y) \) can be found by solving the system of two linear algebraic equations with unknowns \( x \) and \( y \): ```cpp // returns (true if intersection point) if lines intersect bool solve(Line& l1, Line& l2, point& p) { if (areParallel(l1, l2)) { return false; // no intersection } // solve system of linear algebraic equations with unknowns p.x = (l2.b * l1.c - l1.b * l2.c) / (l2.a * l1.b - l1.a * l2.b); // special case for vertical line if (fabs(l1.b) < EPS) { // avoid division by zero p.y = p.x * (-l1.a) / l1.b; } else { p.y = (l1.c - l1.a * p.x) / l1.b; } return true; } ``` 5. **Line Segment** is a line with two endpoints with finite length. Vector \( v \) is a line segment (that is how to find point and line intersection) with a direction. Usually, vectors are represented with a struct in C/C++ (or Class in Java) with two members: the origin and the magnitude of the vector. The magnitude of the vector can be solved if needed. #################### File: Competitive%20Programming%2C%202nd%20Edition%20-%20Steven%20Halim%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 199 Context: ``` # 7.2 BASIC GEOMETRY OBJECTS WITH LIBRARIES © Steven & Felix ## Exercises ### 7.2.1.

There are several types of triangles: - **Equilateral Triangle**: all three edges have the same length and all inside (interior) angles are the same. - **Isosceles Triangle**: two edges have the same length and two interior angles are the same. - **Scalene Triangle**: all edges have different lengths. - **Right Triangle**: one of its interior angle is 90 degrees (or a right angle).

Triangles ``` #################### File: Competitive%20Programming%2C%202nd%20Edition%20-%20Steven%20Halim%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 198 Context: # 7.2 BASIC GEOMETRY OBJECTS WITH LIBRARIES © Steven & Felix 1. A circle with diameter \(d\) has circumference (or perimeter) \(c = \pi \times d\). 2. A circle with radius \(r\) has area \(A = \pi \times r^2\). **Figure 7.2. Circles** 3. Arc of a circle is defined as a connected section of the circumference of the circle. Given the central angle \(\theta\) (angle with vertex at the circle's center, see Figure 7.2, right) in degrees, we can compute the length of the corresponding arc as: \[ \text{arc length} = r \times \theta \] 4. Chord of a circle is defined as the segment whose endpoints lie on the circle (diameter is the longest chord in a circle). A circle with radius \(r\) and a central angle \(\theta\) (in degrees) — see Figure 7.2 — will create a corresponding chord with length \(2r \times \sin(\theta/2)\) (in radians). This can be further understood using the concept of the right triangle. Another way to compute the length of the chord is to use the formula: \[ \text{Chord length} = 2 \times r \times \sin(\theta/2) \] 5. Sector of a circle is described as a region of the circle bounded by two radii and an arc lying between those two radii. A sector has area \(A\) and a central angle \(\theta\) (in degrees) — see Figure 7.2, right — defined as: \[ A = \frac{1}{2} r^2 \times \theta \] 6. Segment of a circle is defined as a region of the circle bounded by a chord and an arc lying between that chord — see Figure 7.2, right. The area of the segment can be found by subtracting the area of the corresponding sector from the area of the inscribed triangle with bases \(r\) and chord length. 7. Given 2 points on the circle (p1 and p2) and radius \(r\) of the corresponding circle, we can determine the circle that contains (c1 and c2) the two possible circles (see Figure 7.3). The circle is shown below. **Figure 7.3.

Complete line equation that passes through two points (2 and 4). Exercise 7.2.3. Suppose we need to use the other line equation, `y = mx + c`. Show how to compute the required line equation given two points that pass through that line! Try on points (2, 2) and (4, 3) in Exercise 7.2.3. You can manually derive your own line equation as well if you want to. Exercise 7.2.4. You can actually compute the required line equation if we only know two points. Here is how we can look for the gradient of that line. Show how to complete the line equation using polar and parametric forms. 3. We can determine if two lines are parallel by checking if their coefficients are the same. We can also verify whether two lines are the same by checking if they are parallel and their coefficients are the same (i.e., all the coefficients are equal). ```cpp bool areParallel(Line l1, Line l2) { // check coefficients a + b return (fabs(l1.a - l2.a) < EPS && fabs(l1.b - l2.b) < EPS); } bool areSame(Line l1, Line l2) { // also check coefficients return areParallel(l1, l2) && (fabs(l1.c - l2.c) < EPS); } ``` If two lines are the same and are not parallel, they will intersect at a point. That intersection point (x, y) can be found by solving the system of two linear algebraic equations with two unknowns: ```cpp // returns true if intersection point (x) found bool intersection(Line l1, Line l2, Point2D *p) { if (areSame(l1, l2)) { return false; // all points intersect } if (areParallel(l1, l2)) { return false; // no intersection } // solve system of linear algebraic equations with 2 unknowns p->y = (l2.a * l1.b - l1.a * l2.b) / (l2.a * l1.b - l1.a * l2.b); // special case for vertical line p->x = p->y * l1.x + l1.b; // avoid division by zero } ``` 5. Line Segment: A line with two end points with finite length. - Vector *v* is a line segment (this has to be read point and line[multiplied] with a direction). Usually, vectors are represented with a structure in C/C++ (or Class in Java) with two members: the end points of the vector. The magnitude of the vector can be solved if needed. **Note:** To avoid confusion, please differentiate between line intersection versus line segment intersection. ########## """QUERY: can you tell me about analytic geometry""" Consider the chat history for relevant information.
