- 1 March 1992
The Sandwich algorithm approximates a convex function of one variable over an interval by evaluating the function and its derivative at a sequence of points and it is shown that the global approximation error withn evaluation points decreases by the order ofO(1/n2), which is optimal.

A biased randomized insertion order is defined which removes enough randomness to significantly improve performance, but leaves enough Randomness so that the algorithms remain theoretically optimal.

- 10 June 1994
The focus of the paper is the general study of reference points (like the Steiner point) and their properties with respect to shape matching and a very simple algorithm to translate one set so that the Hausdorff distance between the two sets is not larger than a constant factor times the minimum Hausdorf distance.
