%T Polygonizations of Point Sets in the Plane
%R 86-9
%I University of Minnesota-Duluth
%C Duluth, Minnesota
%D July, 1986
%X This paper examines the problem of finding the different ways that
a set of $n$ points in the plane can be connected to form a simple polygon.
Such a connection is called a polygonalization.  Because the number
arbitrary polygonizations can be exponential in $n$, attention is
restricted to a special class of polygonizations, those that are
nondegenerate and star-shaped.  An algorithm and data structure for
determining the nondegenerate star-shaped polygonalizations of a set
of $n$ points in the plane is described.  The running time of
this algorithm is shown to be $O(n^5)$.

%T ENVIRONMENTS: An Algebraic Computing Technique
%R 86-10
%I University of Minnesota-Duluth
%C Duluth, Minnesota
%D July, 1986
%X An environment is a representation of an algebraic structure within
a program by a data structure and associated primitives.  This paper
describes a programming technique and its implementation in the C
language based on environments.  The programmer can encode algorithms
in algebra by setting up the environment and then making high
level calls on primitives for natural algebraic
operations.  An example of working program written using this
technique is given which computes the Todd polynomials
$T_n(y;c_1,\ldots,c_n)$.
