Fast distributed approximation algorithms for vertex cover and set cover in anonymous networks
We present a distributed algorithm that finds a maximal edge packing in O(∆ + log∗ W) synchronous communication rounds in a weighted graph, independent of the number of nodes...

Towards optimizing energy costs of algorithms for shared memory architectures
Energy consumption by computer systems has emerged as an important concern. However, the energy consumed in executing an algorithm cannot be inferred from its performance alone: i...

Computing Distances between Surfaces Using Line Geometry
We present an algorithm for computing the distance between two free-form surfaces. Using line geometry, the distance computation is reformulated as a simple instance of a surface-...

Low-Dimensional Linear Programming with Violations
Two decades ago, Megiddo and Dyer showed that linear programming in two and three dimensions (and subsequently any constant number of dimensions) can be solved in linear time. In ...

The 2-center problem in three dimensions
Let P be a set of n points in R3 . The 2-center problem for P is to find two congruent balls of the minimum radius whose union covers P. We present two randomized algorithms for ...
