Faster distance-based representative skyline and k-center along pareto front in the planeCabello, Sergio (Avtor) geometric optimizationskylinepareto frontclusteringk-centerWe consider the problem of computing the distance-based representative skyline in the plane, a problem introduced by Tao, Ding, Lin and Pei and independently considered by Dupin, Nielsen and Talbi in the context of multi-objective optimization. Given a set $P$ of $n$ points in the plane and a parameter $k$, the task is to select $k$ points of the skyline defined by $P$ (also known as Pareto front for $P$) to minimize the maximum distance from the points of the skyline to the selected points. We show that the problem can be solved in $O(n \log h)$ time, where $h$ is the number of points in the skyline of $P$. We also show that the decision problem can be solved in $O(n \log k)$ time and the optimization problem can be solved in $O(n \log k + n \log\log n)$ time. This improves previous algorithms and is optimal for a large range of values of $k$.20232024-03-15 09:17:04Neznano18407sl
