Approximate isocontours and spatial summaries for sensor networks
We consider the problem of approximating a family of isocontours in a sensor field with a topologically-equivalent family of simple polygons. Our algorithm is simple and distribu...

Approximating Optimal Binary Decision Trees
Abstract. We give a (ln n + 1)-approximation for the decision tree (DT) problem. An instance of DT is a set of m binary tests T = (T1, . . . , Tm) and a set of n items X = (X1, . ....

Polynomial time approximation schemes for minimum disk cover problems
The following planar minimum disk cover problem is considered in this paper: given a set D of n disks and a set P of m points in the Euclidean plane, where each disk covers a subse...
