We give a practical and provably good Monte Carlo algorithm for approximating center points. Let P be a set of n points in IRd . A point c ∈ IRd is a β-center point of P if eve...

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, . ....
A method of topological grammars is proposed for multidimensional data approximation. For data with complex topology we define a principal cubic complex of low dimension and give...
