A PTAS For The k-Consensus Structures Problem Under Squared Euclidean Distance

In this paper we consider a basic clustering problem that has uses in bioinformatics. A structural fragment is a sequence of l points in a 3D space, where l is a fixed natural number. Two structural fragments f1 and f2 are equivalent if and only if f1 = f2 x R + Ä under some rotation R and transla...
