Locality-sensitive hashing scheme based on p-stable distributions
We present a novel Locality-Sensitive Hashing scheme for the Approximate Nearest Neighbor Problem under ÐÔ norm, based on Ôstable distributions. Our scheme improves the running...

Deformable spanners and applications
For a set S of points in Rd, an s-spanner is a graph on S such that any pair of points is connected via some path in the spanner whose total length is at most s times the Euclidea...

New results on shortest paths in three dimensions
We revisit the problem of computing shortest obstacle-avoiding paths among obstacles in three dimensions. We prove new hardness results, showing, e.g., that computing Euclidean sh...

On empty convex polygons in a planar point set
Let P be a set of n points in general position in the plane. Let Xk(P ) denote the number of empty convex k-gons determined by P. We derive, using elementary proof techniques, sev...
