Speaker: Esther Ezra, New York University
Time: 2:00pm-3:30pm Location: Babbio Center 110 Abstract: Given a set X of elements and a set R consisting of subsets of X (also called "ranges"), the hitting-set problem is to find a smallest subset of X with the property that each range in R contains an element of X. In a typical geometric scenario, the elements of X are points in d-space and the elements of R are simply-shaped
