Contour Approximation in Sensor Networks
Abstract. We propose a distributed scheme called Adaptive-GroupMerge for sensor networks that, given a parameter k, approximates a geometric shape by a k-vertex polygon. The algori...

Polynomial-time dualization of r-exact hypergraphs with applications in geometry
Let H 2V be a hypergraph on vertex set V . For a positive integer r, we call H r-exact, if any minimal transversal of H intersects any hyperedge of H in at most r vertices. This ...

Approximate Nearest Neighbor Algorithms for Hausdorff Metrics via Embeddings
Hausdorff metrics are used in geometric settings for measuring the distance between sets of points. They have been used extensively in areas such as computer vision, pattern recog...

Playing games with approximation algorithms
In an online linear optimization problem, on each period t, an online algorithm chooses st S from a fixed (possibly infinite) set S of feasible decisions. Nature (who may be adve...
