Fast Algorithms for Constant Approximation k-Means Clustering
In this paper we study the k-means clustering problem. It is well-known that the general version of this problem is NP-hard. Numerous approximation algorithms have been proposed fo...

(Meta) Kernelization
Polynomial time preprocessing to reduce instance size is one of the most commonly deployed heuristics to tackle computationally hard problems. In a parameterized problem, every in...

Improved Approximation Algorithms for Maximum Lifetime Problems in Wireless Networks
A wireless ad-hoc network is a collection of transceivers positioned in the plane. Each transceiver is equipped with a limited battery charge. The battery charge is then reduced a...

The Complexity of Flood Filling Games
We study the complexity of the popular one player combinatorial game known as Flood-It. In this game the player is given an n×n board of tiles where each tile is allocated one of ...

Curves That Must Be Retraced
We exhibit a polynomial time computable plane curve Γ that has finite length, does not intersect itself, and is smooth except at one endpoint, but has the following property. For...
