Optimizing through Co-evolutionary Avalanches
Abstract. We explore a new general-purpose heuristic for nding highquality solutions to hard optimization problems. The method, called extremal optimization, is inspired by self-or...

Coresets in dynamic geometric data streams
A dynamic geometric data stream consists of a sequence of m insert/delete operations of points from the discrete space {1, . . . , ∆}d [26]. We develop streaming (1 + )-approxim...
