Abstract

Given a set of points S in any dimension, we describe a deterministic algorithm for finding a T⊂S, |T|=O(1/ε) such that the centroid of T approximates the centroid of S within a factor 1+ε for any fixed ε>0. We achieve this in linear time by an efficient derandomization of the algorithm in [M. Inaba, N. Katoh, H. Imai, Applications of weighted Voronoi diagrams and randomization to variance-based k-clustering (extended abstract), in: Proceedings of the Tenth Annual Symposium on Computational Geometry, 1994, pp. 332-339].
