Few Cuts Meet Many Point Sets

Computational Geometry 2022-05-26 v3

Abstract

We study the problem of how to breakup many point sets in Rd\mathbb{R}^d into smaller parts using a few splitting (shared) hyperplanes. This problem is related to the classical Ham-Sandwich Theorem. We provide a logarithmic approximation to the optimal solution using the greedy algorithm for submodular optimization.
