'Unauthorized' Edit to Ukraine's Frontline Maps Point to Polymarket's War Betting
It looks like someone invented a fake Russia advance in Ukraine to manipulate online gambling markets.

Im Dezember gibt es heute (Halbtagsplenum) und nächste Woche (zwei sehr volle Plenartage) nochmal volles Programm im #ltbw - heute wird u.a. der Nachtragshaushalt eingebracht, über Raumfahrt diskutiert und Änderungen im Katastrophenschutzgesetz und im E-Government-Gesetz beschlossen.

Competitively Constructed Planar Graphs
We introduce and study two Maker-Breaker-like games for constructing planar graphs: the edge drawing game, where two players take turns drawing non-intersecting edges between points in the plane, and the circle packing game, where the players take turns placing disjoint circles in the plane. Both games produce planar graphs: the edge drawing game results in a plane graph drawing, and the circle packing game yields a planar graph via the contact graph of the packing. For both games, we give nece…

Real-time Multi-Plane Segmentation Based on GPU Accelerated High-Resolution 3D Voxel Mapping for Legged Robot Locomotion
This paper proposes a real-time multi-plane segmentation method based on GPU-accelerated high-resolution 3D voxel mapping for legged robot locomotion. Existing online planar mapping approaches struggle to balance accuracy and computational efficiency: direct depth image segmentation from specific sensors suffers from poor temporal integration, height map-based methods cannot represent complex 3D structures like overhangs, and voxel-based plane segmentation remains unexplored for real-time appli…

Researchers explore new strategies to develop environmentally safe polymer materials
Traditional polymers such as plastics are widely utilized for their chemical inertness and durability. However, these very properties make them non-degradable in nature and cause long-term environmental damage due to their persistence.

Partitioning triangle-free planar graphs into a forest and a linear forest

Partitioning triangle-free planar graphs into a forest and a linear forest
Raspaud and Wang conjectured that every triangle-free planar graph can be vertex-partitioned into an independent set and a forest. Independently, Kawarabayashi and Thomassen also remarked that this might be true, after providing another proof of a result of Borodin and Glebov, showing this result for planar graphs of girth~5. Subsequently, Dross, Montassier, and Pinlou raised the same question and proved that every triangle-free planar graph can be partitioned into a forest and another forest o…
