On the Complexity of Halfspace Volume Queries
Given a polyhedron P in Rd with n vertices, a halfspace volume query asks for the volume of P ∩ H for a given halfspace H. We show that, for d ≥ 3, such queries can require ...

Lower Bounds for the Complexity of Learning Half-Spaces with Membership Queries
Exact learning of half-spaces over finite subsets of IRn from membership queries is considered. We describe the minimum set of labelled examples separating the target concept from ...

Polytope approximation and the Mahler volume
The problem of approximating convex bodies by polytopes is an important and well studied problem. Given a convex body K in Rd , the objective is to minimize the number of vertices...

Exact Learning of Discretized Geometric Concepts
We first present an algorithm that uses membership and equivalence queries to exactly identify a discretized geometric concept defined by the union of m axis-parallel boxes in d-...

Volume Queries in Polyhedra
We present a simple and practical data structure for storing a (not necessarily convex) polyhedron P which can, given a query surface S cutting the polyhedron, determine the volume...
