The $k$-center problem requires the selection of $k$ points (centers) from a given metric pointset $W$ so to minimize the maximum distance of any point of $W$ from the closest center. This paper focuses on a fair variant of the problem,…
We study the $k$-center problem in the context of individual fairness. Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in a metric space and $r_x$ be the distance between $x \in P$ and its $\lceil n/k \rceil$-th nearest neighbor. The problem asks to…
$k$-means clustering is NP-hard in the worst case but previous work has shown efficient algorithms assuming the optimal $k$-means clusters are \emph{stable} under additive or multiplicative perturbation of data. This has two caveats. First,…
