The problem of computing the minimum enclosing sphere (MES) of a point set is a classical problem in Computational Geometry. As an LP-type problem, its expected running time on th...
Minimum Error Rate Training (MERT) is an effective means to estimate the feature function weights of a linear model such that an automated evaluation criterion for measuring syste...

We propose two Euclidean minimum spanning tree based clustering algorithms — one a k-constrained, and the other an unconstrained algorithm. Our k-constrained clustering algorith...
We prove a lower bound of 0.3288 n 4¡ for the rectilinear crossing number cr(Kn) of a complete graph on n vertices, or in other words, for the minimum number of convex quadril...
An algorithm, described by Sedgewick, finds the distance between the closest pair of n given points in a plane using a variant of mergesort. This takes O(n log n) time. To prove t...
