Fast Metric Decompositions in High Dimension

Metric decompositions are a fundamental tool in the design of algorithms involving distances. We study fast algorithms for sampling from probabilistic metric decompositions of $n$-point sets in $\ell_\infty$ and $\ell_2$ spaces of high dimension $d$. For $\ell_\infty$, we design a padded-decomposition algorithm that ru...
