Linear time approximation schemes for the Gale-Berlekamp game and related minimization problems
We design a linear time approximation scheme for the GaleBerlekamp Switching Game and generalize it to a wider class of dense fragile minimization problems including the Nearest C...

Facility location: distributed approximation
In this paper, we initiate the study of the approximability of the facility location problem in a distributed setting. In particular, we explore a trade-off between the amount of...

Inner and outer rounding of set operations on lattice polygonal regions
Robustness problems due to the substitution of the exact computation on real numbers by the rounded floating point arithmetic are often an obstacle to obtain practical implementa...

Qualitative polyline similarity testing with applications to query-by-sketch, indexing and classification
We present an algorithm for polyline (and polygon) similarity testing that is based on the double-cross formalism. To determine the degree of similarity between two polylines, the...

A Threshold of ln n for Approximating Set Cover
Given a collection Ᏺ of subsets of S ϭ {1, . . . , n}, set cover is the problem of selecting as few as possible subsets from Ᏺ such that their union covers S, and max k-cover ...
