Given a general graph G, a fundamental problem is to find a spanning tree H that best approximates G by some measure. Often this measure is some combination of the congestion and...
We show that any priority queue data structure that supports insert, delete, and find-min operations in pq(n) time, when n is an upper bound on the number of elements in the prio...

A simple variant of a priority queue, called a soft heap, is introduced. The data structure supports the usual operations: insert, delete, meld, and findmin. Its novelty is to beat...
—A Virtual Private Network (VPN) aims to emulate the services provided by a private network over the shared Internet. The endpoints of e connected using abstractions such as Virt...
Abstract - This paper presents an improvement over a previous contour closure algorithm. Assuming that edge points are given as input, the proposed approach consists of two steps. ...
