Caching approximate values instead of exact values presents an opportunity for performance gains in exchange for decreased precision. To maximize the performance improvement, cach...
Consider the following problem: given a metric space, some of whose points are "clients," select a set of at most k facility locations to minimize the average distance f...

Given a set of n points in d-dimensional Euclidean space, S ⊂ Ed , and a query point q ∈ Ed , we wish to determine the nearest neighbor of q, that is, the point of S whose Euc...
Given a continuous function f : X → IR on a topological space X, its level set f−1 (a) changes continuously as the real value a changes. Consequently, the connected components...
