Random Convex Programs

TL;DR: The relation between RCPVs and chance-constrained problems (CCP) is explored, showing that the optimal objective of an RCPV with the generic constraint removal rule provides, with arbitrarily high probability, an upper bound on the optimal objectives of a corresponding CCP.

Finding k points with minimum diameter and related problems

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the problem of finding k points of a set S that form a small set under some given measure, and present efficient algorithms for several natural measures including the diameter and variance.

Iterated nearest neighbors and finding minimal polytypes

TL;DR: A new method for finding several types of optimalk-point sets, minimizing perimeter, diameter, circumradius, and related measures, by testing sets of theO(k) nearest neighbors to each point, which is better in a number of ways than previous algorithms, which were based on high-order Voronoi diagrams.

A fast planar partition algorithm. I

TL;DR: Though the algorithm itself is simple, the global evolution of the partition is complex, which makes the analysis of the algorithm theoretically interesting in its own right.
