We give algorithms for computing coresets for $(1+\varepsilon)$-approximate $k$-median clustering of polygonal curves (under the discrete and continuous Fr\'{e}chet distance) and point sets (under the Hausdorff distance), when the cluster…

A coreset for a set of points is a small subset of weighted points that approximately preserves important properties of the original set. Specifically, if $P$ is a set of points, $Q$ is a set of queries, and $f:P\times Q\to\mathbb{R}$ is a…
