Random sampling is a popular technique for providing fast approximate query answers, especially in data warehouse environments. Compared to other types of synopses, random sampling...
Abstract Abstract. Recent work in the analysis of randomized approximation algorithms for NP-hard optimization problems has involved approximating the solution to a problem by the ...
Finding the fastest algorithm to solve a problem is one of the main issues in Computational Geometry. Focusing only on worst case analysis or asymptotic computations leads to the d...
