We present a new and simple randomized algorithm for constructing the Delaunay triangulation using nearest neighbor graphs for point location. Under suitable assumptions, it runs in linear expected time for points in the plane with…
We introduce a new geometric spanner, $\delta$-Greedy, whose construction is based on a generalization of the known Path-Greedy and Gap-Greedy spanners. The $\delta$-Greedy spanner combines the most desirable properties of geometric…
The greedy spanner is the highest quality geometric spanner (in e.g. edge count and weight, both in theory and practice) known to be computable in polynomial time. Unfortunately, all known algorithms for computing it take Omega(n^2) time,…
We show that Delaunay triangulations and compressed quadtrees are equivalent structures. More precisely, we give two algorithms: the first computes a compressed quadtree for a planar point set, given the Delaunay triangulation; the second…
Consider a set $P$ of $n$ points picked uniformly and independently from $[0,1]^d$ for a constant dimension $d$ -- such a point set is extremely well behaved in many aspects. For example, for a fixed $r \in [0,1]$, we prove a new…
We investigate algorithms with predictions in computational geometry, specifically focusing on the basic problem of computing 2D Delaunay triangulations. Given a set $P$ of $n$ points in the plane and a triangulation $G$ that serves as a…
It was recently shown that a version of the greedy algorithm gives a construction of fault-tolerant spanners that is size-optimal, at least for vertex faults. However, the algorithm to construct this spanner is not polynomial-time, and the…
Consider a weighted graph G where vertices are points in the plane and edges are line segments. The weight of each edge is the Euclidean distance between its two endpoints. A routing algorithm on G has a competitive ratio of c if the length…
We present a deterministic local routing algorithm that is guaranteed to find a path between any pair of vertices in a half-$\theta_6$-graph (the half-$\theta_6$-graph is equivalent to the Delaunay triangulation where the empty region is an…
We cluster a set of trajectories T using subtrajectories of T. Clustering quality may be measured by the number of clusters, the number of vertices of T that are absent from the clustering, and by the Fr\'{e}chet distance between…
A drawing of a graph is greedy if for each ordered pair of vertices u and v, there is a path from u to v such that the Euclidean distance to v decreases monotonically at every vertex of the path. The existence of greedy drawings has been…
We describe a greedy algorithm that approximates the Carleson constant of a collection of general sets. The approximation has a logarithmic loss in a general setting, but is optimal up to a constant with only mild geometric assumptions. The…
We present SimultaneousGreedys, a deterministic algorithm for constrained submodular maximization. At a high level, the algorithm maintains $\ell$ solutions and greedily updates them in a simultaneous fashion. SimultaneousGreedys achieves…
We describe an algorithm that takes as input n points in the plane and a parameter {\epsilon}, and produces as output an embedded planar graph having the given points as a subset of its vertices in which the graph distances are a (1 +…
\begin{abstract} Greedy permutations, also known as Gonzalez Orderings or Farthest Point Traversals are a standard way to approximate $k$-center clustering and have many applications in sampling and approximating metric spaces. A greedy…
In the Shortest Common Superstring (SCS) problem, one is given a collection of strings, and needs to find a shortest string containing each of them as a substring. SCS admits $2\frac{11}{23}$-approximation in polynomial time (Mucha,…
In the first part of this paper, we prove that, under some natural non-degeneracy assumptions, the Greedy Parabolic Target-Following Method, based on {\em universal tangent direction} has a favorable local behavior. In view of its global…
Motivated by recent work on stochastic gradient descent methods, we develop two stochastic variants of greedy algorithms for possibly non-convex optimization problems with sparsity constraints. We prove linear convergence in expectation to…
In this paper we extend the geometric binary search tree (BST) model of Demaine, Harmon, Iacono, Kane, and Patrascu (DHIKP) to accommodate for insertions and deletions. Within this extended model, we study the online Greedy BST algorithm…
Computing the Delaunay triangulation (DT) of a given point set in $\mathbb{R}^D$ is one of the fundamental operations in computational geometry. Recently, Funke and Sanders (2017) presented a divide-and-conquer DT algorithm that merges two…
