Geometric Facility Location Problems On Uncertain Data, Jingru Zhang
Geometric Facility Location Problems On Uncertain Data, Jingru Zhang
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
In this dissertation, we study several facility location problems on uncertain data. We mainly consider the k-center problem and many of its variations. These are classical problems in computer science and operations research. These problems on deterministic data have been studied extensively in the literature. We consider them on uncertain data because data in the real world is often associated with uncertainty due to measurement inaccuracy, sampling discrepancy, outdated data sources, resource limitation, etc. Although we focus on the theoretical study, the algorithms developed in this dissertation may find applications in other areas such as data clustering, wireless sensor …
