Incremental Medians via Online Bidding
2007
Algorithmica
Following Mettu and Plaxton, we study online algorithms for the k-medians problem. Such an algorithm must produce a nested sequence F_1\subseteq F_2\subseteq...\subseteq F_n of sets of facilities. ...
We present optimally competitive algorithms for this problem. ...
Acknowledgements We are grateful to anonymous referees for suggestions to improve the presentation. ...

A Tight Bound Drop Exchange Algorithm for Solving the p Median Problem
1981
Environment and planning A
In solving for a fixed value of p, tight bounds on all other median solutions in the range m-\ to p4-1 are generated where m is the number of possible location sites and p is the number of medians. ...
A drop algorithm is proposed for solving the p median problem. ...
The author gratefully acknowledges the Department of Geography, University of British Columbia, for providing computer resources, and in particular Mike Church whose support and encouragement made possible ...

The reverse greedy algorithm for the metric k-median problem
2006
Information Processing Letters
The Reverse Greedy algorithm (RGreedy) for the k-median problem works as follows. It starts by placing facilities on all nodes. ...
Acknowledgements We would like to thank Amos Fiat, Christoph Dürr, Jason Hartline, Anna Karlin, and John Noga for useful discussions. ...
This problem is called online median in [9] , incremental median in [10] , and the analog version for clustering is called oblivious clustering in [2, 3] . ...

Fast median search in metric spaces
[chapter]
1998
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Searching for a median of a set of patterns is a well-known technique to model the set or to aid searching for more accurate models such as a generalized median or a k-median. ...
In these cases, a direct method to perform median search is not feasible for large sets of patterns. ...
In these cases where such computation is not trivial, a median can be used as an approximate generalized median or as a starting point for finding better ones [5] . ...

2012
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
The best-known approach for coping with this issue is iterative deepening, which performs a series of bounded depth-first searches. ...
While it happens to work acceptably for the classic sliding tile puzzle, IDA* fails for many other domains. ...
The median estimation factor for the incremental model was 1.435 and the median estimation factor for CDP was 1.465 on this set of instances. ...

Incremental Division of Very Large Point Clouds for Scalable 3D Surface Reconstruction
2015
2015 IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision Workshop (ICCVW)
In this paper we, therefore, present an algorithm for division of very large 3D point clouds into smaller subsets allowing for a parallel 3D reconstruction of many suitably small parts. ...
Space division is especially important for volumetric 3D reconstruction, as the latter has a high memory requirement. ...
While the calculation of a dominant space dimension is feasible also when taking into account our scalability constraint via bounding boxes, the calculation of the median does not scale well. ...
