New Algorithms for Minimum Area k-gons
Given a set P of n points in the plane, we wish to find a set Q P of k points for which the convex hull conv(Q) has the minimum area. We solve this, and the related problem of fi...

Extracting Randomness Using Few Independent Sources
In this work we give the first deterministic extractors from a constant number of weak sources whose entropy rate is less than 1/2. Specifically, for every > 0 we give an expl...

Parameterizing by the Number of Numbers
The usefulness of parameterized algorithmics has often depended on what Niedermeier has called, "the art of problem parameterization." In this paper we introduce and expl...

A baby step-giant step roadmap algorithm for general algebraic sets
Abstract. Let R be a real closed field and D ⊂ R an ordered domain. We give an algorithm that takes as input a polynomial Q ⊂ D[X1, . . . , Xk], and computes a description of ...

A General Method for Estimating Correlated Aggregates over a Data Stream
—On a stream of two dimensional data items (x, y) where x is an item identifier, and y is a numerical attribute, a correlated aggregate query requires us to first apply a selec...
