Diversity maximization is a fundamental problem in web search and data mining. For a given dataset $S$ of $n$ elements, the problem requires to determine a subset of $S$ containing $k\ll n$ "representatives" which minimize some diversity…

One of the landmarks in approximation algorithms is the $O(\sqrt{\log n})$-approximation algorithm for the Uniform Sparsest Cut problem by Arora, Rao and Vazirani from 2004. The algorithm is based on a semidefinite program that finds an…

Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in $\Re^2$. For a parameter $\varepsilon\in (0,1)$, a subset $C\subseteq P$ is an \emph{$\varepsilon$-kernel} of $P$ if the projection of the convex hull of $C$ approximates that of $P$ within…

We propose a new $(1+O(\varepsilon))$-approximation algorithm with $O(n+ 1/\varepsilon^{\frac{(d-1)}{2}})$ running time for computing the diameter of a set of $n$ points in the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space for a fixed dimension $d$,…

In the subspace sketch problem one is given an $n\times d$ matrix $A$ with $O(\log(nd))$ bit entries, and would like to compress it in an arbitrary way to build a small space data structure $Q_p$, so that for any given $x \in \mathbb{R}^d$,…

We resolve a few questions regarding the uniformity and size of microsets of subsets of Euclidean space. First, we construct a compact set $K\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ with Assouad dimension arbitrarily close to $d$ such that every microset of…
