Simulating an arbitrary discrete distribution $D \in [0, 1]^n$ using fair coin tosses incurs trade-offs between entropy complexity and space and time complexity. Shannon's theory suggests that $H(D)$ tosses are necessary and sufficient, but…

Given a set $P$ of $n$ weighted points and a set $H$ of $n$ half-planes in the plane, the hitting set problem is to compute a subset $P'$ of points from $P$ such that each half-plane contains at least one point from $P'$ and the total…
