Improving on a recent breakthrough of Sharir, we find two minimum-radius circular disks covering a planar point set, in randomized expected time O(n log2 n).
The k-means algorithm is widely used for clustering because of its computational efficiency. Given n points in d-dimensional space and the number of desired clusters k, k-means see...
We study the behavior of simple, 2-D, self-organizing primitives that interact and move in an unbounded environment to create aggregated shapes. Each primitive is represented by a ...
Here we propose an efficient algorithm for computing the smallest enclosing circle whose center is constrained to lie on a query line segment. Our algorithm preprocesses a given s...
In this paper we briefly review the importance of LP (linear programming), and Dantzig's main contributions to OR (Operations Research), mathematics, and computer science. In...
