We devise a data structure that can answer shortest path queries for two query points in a polygonal domain $P$ on $n$ vertices. For any $\varepsilon > 0$, the space complexity of the data structure is $O(n^{10+\varepsilon })$ and queries…
Let P be a set of n points in R^2. Given a rectangle Q = [\alpha_1, \alpha_2] x [\beta_1, \beta_2], a range skyline query returns the maxima of the points in P \cap Q. An important variant is the so-called top-open queries, where Q is a…

We consider the problem of constructing small coresets for $k$-Median in Euclidean spaces. Given a large set of data points $P\subset \mathbb{R}^d$, a coreset is a much smaller set $S\subset \mathbb{R}^d$, so that the $k$-Median costs of…
We introduce the notion of an $\varepsilon$-cover for a kernel range space. A kernel range space concerns a set of points $X \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ and the space of all queries by a fixed kernel (e.g., a Gaussian kernel $K(p,\cdot) =…
We give a dimensionality reduction procedure to approximate the sum of distances of a given set of $n$ points in $R^d$ to any "shape" that lies in a $k$-dimensional subspace. Here, by "shape" we mean any set of points in $R^d$. Our…
In a geometric $k$-clustering problem the goal is to partition a set of points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ into $k$ subsets such that a certain cost function of the clustering is minimized. We present data structures for orthogonal range-clustering…
