Abstract

We introduce a new problem in the study of doubling spaces: Given a point set S and a target dimension d*, remove from S the fewest number of points so that the remaining set has doubling dimension at most d*. We present a bicriteria approximation for this problem, and extend this algorithm to solve a group of proximity problems.
