Geometric Applications of a Randomized Optimization Technique
Abstract. We propose a simple, general, randomized technique to reduce certain geometric optimization problems to their corresponding decision problems. These reductions increase t...

Geometric optimization and sums of algebraic functions
We present a new optimization technique that yields the first FPTAS for several geometric problems. These problems reduce to optimizing a sum of non-negative, constant description...
