We develop (single-pass) streaming algorithms for maintaining extent measures of a stream S of n points in Rd . We focus on designing streaming algorithms whose working space is p...
In this paper, we give a O(log copt)-approximation algorithm for the point guard problem where copt is the optimal number of guards. Our algorithm runs in time polynomial in n, the...

Although a partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP) provides an appealing model for problems of planning under uncertainty, exact algorithms for POMDPs are intractable...
We investigate the following translational 2D polygon covering problem: for a collection of covering polygons and a target point (or polygon) set, decide if the covering polygons ...
Abstract. We consider a generalization of the set cover problem, in which elements are covered by pairs of objects, and we are required to find a minimum cost subset of objects th...
