Linear-Time -Approximation Algorithms for Two-Line-Center Problems
Chaeyoon Chung, Anil Maheshwari, Michiel Smid
Given a set of points in the plane, we study the two-line-center problem: finding two lines that minimize the maximum distance from each point in to its closest line. W…
Polychromatic Coloring of Tuples in Hypergraphs
Ahmad Biniaz, Jean-Lou De Carufel, Anil Maheshwari +3
A hypergraph consists of a set of vertices and a set of hyperedges that are subsets of . A -tuple of is a subset of vertices of . A -tuple -color…
Closest Pair Queries in Vertical Slabs and Tight Bounds on the Number of Possible Answers
Ahmad Biniaz, Prosenjit Bose, Chaeyoon Chung +6
Let be a set of points in , where is a constant, and let be a sequence of vertical hyperplanes that are sorted by their fi…
Computing Oriented Spanners and their Dilation
Kevin Buchin, Antonia Kalb, Anil Maheshwari +4
Given a point set in a metric space and a real number , an \emph{oriented -spanner} is an oriented graph , where for eve…
Contiguous Boundary Guarding
Ahmad Biniaz, Anil Maheshwari, Joseph S. B. Mitchell +3
We study the problem of guarding the boundary of a simple polygon with a minimum number of guards such that each guard covers a contiguous portion of the boundary. First, we presen…
Euclidean Maximum Matchings in the Plane---Local to Global
Ahmad Biniaz, Anil Maheshwari, Michiel Smid
Let be a perfect matching on a set of points in the plane where every edge is a line segment between two points. We say that is globally maximum if it is a maximum-length m…
Metric and Geometric Spanners that are Resilient to Degree-Bounded Edge Faults
Ahmad Biniaz, Jean-Lou De Carufel, Anil Maheshwari +1
Let be an edge-weighted graph, and let be a subgraph of . We say that is an -fault-tolerant -spanner for , if the following is true for any subset of at…
New Complexity and Algorithmic Bounds for Minimum Consistent Subsets
Aritra Banik, Sayani Das, Anil Maheshwari +6
In the Minimum Consistent Subset (MCS) problem, we are presented with a connected simple undirected graph , consisting of a vertex set of size and an edge set .…
