We prove that various geometric covering problems, related to the Travelling Salesman Problem cannot be efficiently approximated to within any constant factor unless P = NP. This ...
: River Formation Dynamics (RFD) is an evolutionary computation method based on copying how drops form rivers by eroding the ground and depositing sediments. Given a cost-evaluated...
Instances of constraint satisfaction problems can be solved efficiently if they are representable as a tree decomposition of small width. Unfortunately, the task of finding a deco...
In this paper, we propose a hierarchical timing-driven Steiner tree algorithm for global routing which considers the minimization of timing delay during the tree construction as t...
Gupta (SODA'01) considered the Steiner Point Removal (SPR) problem on trees. Given an edge-weighted tree T and a subset S of vertices called terminals in the tree, find an edg...
