A fully dynamic algorithm for planar
We show how to maintain the width of a set of n planar points subject to insertions and deletions of points in O( n log3 n) amortized time per update. Previously, no fully dynami...

Matching Point Sets with Respect to the Earth Mover's Distance
Let A and B be two sets of m resp. n weighted points in the plane, with m ≤ n. We present (1 + ) and (2+ )-approximation algorithms for the minimum Euclidean Earth Mover’s Dis...

Constant-Factor Approximation for Minimum-Weight (Connected) Dominating Sets in Unit Disk Graphs
For a given graph with weighted vertices, the goal of the minimum-weight dominating set problem is to compute a vertex subset of smallest weight such that each vertex of the graph...

A Practical Approximation Algorithm for the LMS Line Estimator
The problem of fitting a straight line to a finite collection of points in the plane is an important problem in statistical estimation. Robust estimators are widely used because...

Improved Results on Geometric Hitting Set Problems
We consider the problem of computing minimum geometric hitting sets in which, given a set of geometric objects and a set of points, the goal is to compute the smallest subset of p...
