The shifting sands algorithm
We resolve the problem of small-space approximate selection in random-order streams. Specifically, we present an algorithm that reads the n elements of a set in random order and ...

Approximating Single Machine Scheduling with Scenarios
In the field of robust optimization, the goal is to provide solutions to combinatorial problems that hedge against variations of the numerical parameters. This constitutes an effor...

On the Complexity of Approximating TSP with Neighborhoods and Related Problems
We prove that various geometric covering problems, related to the Travelling Salesman Problem cannot be efficiently approximated to within any constant factor unless P = NP. This ...

A local search approximation algorithm for k-means clustering
In k-means clustering we are given a set of n data points in d-dimensional space d and an integer k, and the problem is to determine a set of k points in d , called centers, to mi...

Distributed sensor network localization from local connectivity: performance analysis for the HOP-TERRAIN algorithm
This paper addresses the problem of determining the node locations in ad-hoc sensor networks when only connectivity information is available. In previous work, we showed that the ...
