The Ordinary Line Problem Revisited
Let P be a set of n points in the plane. A connecting line of P is a line that passes through at least two of its points. A connecting line is called ordinary if it is incident on...

Brief Announcement: A Simple and Quiescent Omega Algorithm in the Crash-Recovery Model
We present a simple algorithm that implements the Omega failure detector in the crash-recovery model. The algorithm is quiescent, i.e., eventually all the processes but the leader ...

Geometric Optimization Problems Over Sliding Windows
Abstract. We study the problem of maintaining a (1+ )-factor approximation of the diameter of a stream of points under the sliding window model. In one dimension, we give a simple ...

Heat Flow and a Faster Algorithm to Compute the Surface Area of a Convex Body
We draw on the observation that the amount of heat diffusing outside of a heated body in a short period of time is proportional to its surface area, to design a simple algorithm f...
