locate two new facilities in S, maximizing the minimum of all weighted distances between the …

[PDF][PDF] Geometric facility location under continuous motion

S Durocher - 2006 - Citeseer
The traditional problems of facility location are defined statically; a set (or multiset) of n
points is given as input, corresponding to the positions of clients, and a solution is returned …

Online Epsilon Net and Piercing Set for Geometric Concepts

S Bhore, D Dey, S Singh - arXiv preprint arXiv:2410.07059, 2024 - arxiv.org
VC-dimension and $\varepsilon $-nets are key concepts in Statistical Learning Theory.
Intuitively, VC-dimension is a measure of the size of a class of sets. The famous $\varepsilon …
