Abstract

Many combinatorial optimization problems such as set cover, clustering, and graph matching have been formulated in geometric settings. We review the progress made in recent years on a number of such geometric optimization problems, with an emphasis on how geometry has been exploited to develop better algorithms. Instead of discussing many problems, we focus on a few problems, namely, set cover, hitting set, independent set, and computing maps between point sets.
