Online Maintenance of k-Medians and k-Covers on a Line
The standard dynamic programming solution to finding k-medians on a line with n nodes requires O(kn2 ) time. Dynamic programming speedup techniques, e.g., use of the quadrangle i...

Computing the median with uncertainty
We consider a new model for computing with uncertainty. It is desired to compute a function fX1; : : : ; Xn where X1; : : : ; Xn are unknown, but guaranteed to lie in speci ed i...

Fast computation of the median by successive binning
In many important problems, one uses the median instead of the mean to estimate a population's center, since the former is more robust. But in general, computing the median i...
