Approximate center points with proofs
We present the Iterated-Tverberg algorithm, the first deterministic algorithm for computing an approximate centerpoint of a set S ∈ Rd with running time sub-exponential in d. T...

Approximate Counts and Quantiles over Sliding Windows
We consider the problem of maintaining approximate counts and quantiles over fixed- and variablesize sliding windows in limited space. For quantiles, we present deterministic algo...

Approximate Model-Based Diagnosis Using Greedy Stochastic Search
Most algorithms for computing diagnoses within a modelbased diagnosis framework are deterministic. Such algorithms guarantee soundness and completeness, but are NPhard. To overcom...

On distance to monotonicity and longest increasing subsequence of a data stream
In this paper we consider problems related to the sortedness of a data stream. First we investigate the problem of estimating the distance to monotonicity; given a sequence of len...
