Approximate Maximum Parsimony and Ancestral Maximum Likelihood
— We explore the maximum parsimony (MP) and ancestral maximum likelihood (AML) criteria in phylogenetic tree reconstruction. Both problems are NP hard, so we seek approximate sol...

Approximation Schemes for Steiner Forest on Planar Graphs and Graphs of Bounded Treewidth
We give the first polynomial-time approximation scheme (PTAS) for the Steiner forest problem on planar graphs and, more generally, on graphs of bounded genus. As a first step, w...

The Directed Steiner Network Problem is Tractable for a Constant Number of Terminals
We consider the DIRECTED STEINER NETWORK problem, also called the POINT-TO-POINT CONNECTION problem, where given a directed graph G and p pairs {(s1,t1),...,(sp,tp)} of nodes in t...

Obstacle-Avoiding Rectilinear Steiner Tree Construction Based on Spanning Graphs
Given a set of pins and a set of obstacles on a plane, an obstacle-avoiding rectilinear Steiner minimal tree (OARSMT) connects these pins, possibly through some additional points (...
