Efficient Enumeration and Minimal Area of Totally Concave Polyominoes
Researchers present findings on total concavity in polyominoes, exploring the minimal area, efficient enumeration methods, and asymptotic behaviors. Various bounds and algorithms are discussed, including a backtracking prototype and Jensen's algorithm for counting polyominoes without generating all possibilities.

Minimal Area of TCPs Consider a TCP of area ? in a (?,?) bounding box. Obtain the following relations: (1) Lower bound: ? 2? + 2? 1 (2) Upper bound (WLOG, ? ?): ? ?? (? + 2) EuroCG - 2024

Jensens Algorithm (Jensen, 2001) Counts polyominoes without generating all possible polyominoes Tracks only right boundaries of the polyominoes Left to right, top to bottom EuroCG - 2024
Jensens Algorithm (Jensen, 2001) Consisted of signatures Occupied cells (boundary) Connectivity components Two bits specify whether the polyomino touched top and bottom strips Maintains a dictionary database of signatures : #polyominoes EuroCG - 2024
