Consider a metric space $(P,dist)$ with $N$ points whose doubling dimension is a constant. We present a simple, randomized, and recursive algorithm that computes, in $O(N \log N)$ expected time, the closest-pair distance in $P$. To generate…

We study the problem of $2$-dimensional orthogonal range counting with additive error. Given a set $P$ of $n$ points drawn from an $n\times n$ grid and an error parameter $\eps$, the goal is to build a data structure, such that for any…

The Joint Replenishment Problem (JRP) is a fundamental optimization problem in supply-chain management, concerned with optimizing the flow of goods from a supplier to retailers. Over time, in response to demands at the retailers, the…

For the past decades we have experienced an enormous expansion of the accumulated data that humanity produces. Daily a numerous number of smart devices, usually interconnected over internet, produce vast, real-values datasets. Time series…

This paper discusses distributed approaches for the solution of random convex programs (RCP). RCPs are convex optimization problems with a (usually large) number N of randomly extracted constraints; they arise in several applicative areas,…

We consider vehicle-routing problems (VRPs) that incorporate the notion of {\em regret} of a client, which is a measure of the waiting time of a client relative to its shortest-path distance from the depot. Formally, we consider both the…

In the Minimum Consistent Subset (MCS) problem, we are presented with a connected simple undirected graph $G=(V,E)$, consisting of a vertex set $V$ of size $n$ and an edge set $E$. Each vertex in $V$ is assigned a color from the set…

This paper reformulates complementarity-based time-stepping for frictionless nonsmooth contact between smooth rigid bodies as a recursively generated linear complementarity problem (ReLCP), involving a sequence of LCPs of increasing…

This work focuses on Registration or Alignment of 3D point sets. Although the Registration problem is a well established problem and it's solved using multiple variants of Iterative Closest Point (ICP) Algorithm, most of the approaches in…

In this article, we consider colorable variations of the Unit Disk Cover ({\it UDC}) problem as follows. {\it $k$-Colorable Discrete Unit Disk Cover ({\it $k$-CDUDC})}: Given a set $P$ of $n$ points, and a set $D$ of $m$ unit disks (of…

Maximum Clique Problem(MCP) is one of the 21 original NP--complete problems enumerated by Karp in 1972. In recent years a large number of exact methods to solve MCP have been appeared(Babel, Wood, Kumlander, Fahle, Li, Tomita and etc). Most…

In a column-restricted covering integer program (CCIP), all the non-zero entries of any column of the constraint matrix are equal. Such programs capture capacitated versions of covering problems. In this paper, we study the approximability…

The goal of the \emph{alignment problem} is to align a (given) point cloud $P = \{p_1,\cdots,p_n\}$ to another (observed) point cloud $Q = \{q_1,\cdots,q_n\}$. That is, to compute a rotation matrix $R \in \mathbb{R}^{3 \times 3}$ and a…

This paper provides an efficient solution approach to the screen-line counter location problem (SCLP), which is a counter location problem with the constraint that the traffic between OD pairs must be observed at least once. This paper…

Given a set $S$ of $n$ disjoint line segments in $\mathbb{R}^{2}$, the visibility counting problem (VCP) is to preprocess $S$ such that the number of segments in $S$ visible from any query point $p$ can be computed quickly. This problem can…

Geometric matching is an important topic in computational geometry and has been extensively studied over decades. In this paper, we study a geometric-matching problem, known as geometric many-to-many matching. In this problem, the input is…

This paper introduces the correlated arc orienteering problem (CAOP), where the task is to find routes for a team of robots to maximize the collection of rewards associated with features in the environment. These features can be…

Sparse Subspace Clustering (SSC) is one of the most popular methods for clustering data points into their underlying subspaces. However, SSC may suffer from heavy computational burden. Orthogonal Matching Pursuit applied on SSC accelerates…
