%0 Journal Article %T Trees in simple Polygons %A Tillmann Miltzow %J Computer Science %D 2012 %I arXiv %X We prove that every simple polygon contains a degree 3 tree encompassing a prescribed set of vertices. We give tight bounds on the minimal number of degree 3 vertices. We apply this result to reprove a result from Bose et al. that every set of disjoint line segments in the plane admits a binary tree. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1211.2118v1
