Map labeling with circles

We study two geometric optimization problems motivated by cartographic applications: Map Labeling with Uniform Circles (MLUC) and Map Labeling with Uniform Circle Pairs (MLUCP). We show that the decision problems of both MLUC and MLUCP are NP-hard, and that the related optimization problems for maxi...
