Which norm is the fairest? Approximations for fair facility location across all ""

S Gupta, J Moondra, M Singh - arxiv preprint arxiv:2211.14873, 2022 - arxiv.org
Fair facility location problems try to balance access costs to open facilities borne by different
groups of people by minimizing the $ L_p $ norm of these group distances. However, there …

Parameterized approximation for robust clustering in discrete geometric spaces

F Abbasi, S Banerjee, J Byrka, P Chalermsook… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2023 - arxiv.org
We consider the well-studied Robust $(k, z) $-Clustering problem, which generalizes the
classic $ k $-Median, $ k $-Means, and $ k $-Center problems. Given a constant $ z\ge 1 …
