Some novel locality results for the blob code spanning tree representation
The Blob Code is a bijective tree code that represents each tree on n labelled vertices as a string of n − 2 vertex labels. In recent years, several researchers have deployed th...

Improved Approximation Algorithms for the Spanning Star Forest Problem
A star graph is a tree of diameter at most two. A star forest is a graph that consists of node-disjoint star graphs. In the spanning star forest problem, given an unweighted graph ...

Random-tree Diameter and the Diameter-constrained MST
A minimum spanning tree (MST) with a small diameter is required in numerous practical situations. It is needed, for example, in distributed mutual exclusion algorithms in order to...
