The nearest- or near-neighbor query problems arise in a large variety of database applications, usually in the context of similarity searching. Of late, there has been increasing ...
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 discuss periodization of smooth functions f of d variables for approximation of multivariate integrals. The benefit of periodization is that we may use lattice rules,...
What is the least surface area of a shape that tiles Rd under translations by Zd ? Any such shape must have volume 1 and hence surface area at least that of the volume-1 ball, nam...
