Abstract

The Point Hyperplane Cover problem in ℝd takes as input a set of n points in ℝd and a positive integer k. The objective is to cover all the given points with a set of at most k hyperplanes. The D-Polynomial Points Hitting Set (D-Polynomial Points HS) problem in ℝd takes as input a family F of D-degree polynomials from a vector space R in ℝd, and determines whether there is a set of at most k points in ℝd that hit all the polynomials in F. For both problems, we exhibit tight kernels where k is the parameter.
