Given a set of $n$ weighted points on the $x$-$y$ plane, we want to find a step function consisting of $k$ horizontal steps such that the maximum vertical weighted distance from any point to a step is minimized. We solve this problem in $O(n)$ time when $k$ is a constant. Our approach relies on the prune-and-search technique, and can be adapted to design similar linear time algorithms to solve the line-constrained k-center problem and the size-$k$ histogram construction problem as well.
A terrain is an $x$-monotone polygon whose lower boundary is a single line segment. We present an algorithm to find in a terrain a triangle of largest area in $O(n log n)$ time, where $n$ is the number of vertices defining the terrain. The best previ
Given n data points in R^d, an appropriate edge-weighted graph connecting the data points finds application in solving clustering, classification, and regresssion problems. The graph proposed by Daitch, Kelner and Spielman (ICML~2009) can be computed
Let $P$ be a simple polygon with $n$ vertices. For any two points in $P$, the geodesic distance between them is the length of the shortest path that connects them among all paths contained in $P$. Given a set $S$ of $m$ sites being a subset of the ve
Graphs model real-world circumstances in many applications where they may constantly change to capture the dynamic behavior of the phenomena. Topological persistence which provides a set of birth and death pairs for the topological features is one in
In this article, we study shape fitting problems, $epsilon$-coresets, and total sensitivity. We focus on the $(j,k)$-projective clustering problems, including $k$-median/$k$-means, $k$-line clustering, $j$-subspace approximation, and the integer $(j,
