Abstract

k-center is one of the most popular clustering models. While it admits a simple 2-approximation in polynomial time in general metrics, the Euclidean version is NP-hard to approximate within a factor of 1.82, even in the plane, if one insists the dependence on k in the running time be polynomial. Without this restriction, a classic algorithm by Agarwal and Procopiuc yields...
