Near-linear approximation algorithms for geometric hitting sets
Given a set system (X, R), the hitting set problem is to find a smallest-cardinality subset H ⊆ X, with the property that each range R ∈ R has a non-empty intersection with H...

Improved Results on Geometric Hitting Set Problems
We consider the problem of computing minimum geometric hitting sets in which, given a set of geometric objects and a set of points, the goal is to compute the smallest subset of p...

Geometric Set Cover and Hitting Sets for Polytopes in $R^3$
Suppose we are given a finite set of points P in R3 and a collection of polytopes T that are all translates of the same polytope T. We consider two problems in this paper. The firs...
