Book Synopsis Geometric Approximation Algorithms by : Sariel Har-Peled

Download or read book Geometric Approximation Algorithms written by Sariel Har-Peled and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2011 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exact algorithms for dealing with geometric objects are complicated, hard to implement in practice, and slow. Over the last 20 years a theory of geometric approximation algorithms has emerged. These algorithms tend to be simple, fast, and more robust than their exact counterparts. This book is the first to cover geometric approximation algorithms in detail. In addition, more traditional computational geometry techniques that are widely used in developing such algorithms, like sampling, linear programming, etc., are also surveyed. Other topics covered include approximate nearest-neighbor search, shape approximation, coresets, dimension reduction, and embeddings. The topics covered are relatively independent and are supplemented by exercises. Close to 200 color figures are included in the text to illustrate proofs and ideas.
