We develop the theory of regular cost functions over finite trees: a quantitative extension to the notion of regular languages of trees: Cost functions map each input (tree) to a v...
Weighted tree grammars (for short: WTG) are an extension of weighted context-free grammars that generate trees instead of strings. They can be used in natural language parsing to d...
Abstract. We consider the succinct representation of ordinal and cardinal trees on the RAM with logarithmic word size. Given a tree T, our representations support the following ope...
Suppose we are given a sequence of n points in the Euclidean plane, and our objective is to construct, on-line, a connected graph that connects all of them, trying to minimize the...
This paper deals with approximation algorithms for the prize collecting generalized Steiner forest problem, defined as follows. The input is an undirected graph G = (V, E), a colle...
