Abstract. In this paper we consider a generalization of the edge dominating set (EDS) problem, in which each edge e needs to be covered be times and refer to this as the b-EDS prob...
We address the problem of lowering the buyer’s expected payments in shortest path auctions, where the buyer’s goal is to purchase a path in a graph in which edges are owned by...
Abstract. We describe fully polynomial time approximation schemes for various multicommodity flow problems in graphs with m edges and n vertices. We present the first approximation...
Abstract-- Lifetime maximization is an important optimization problem specific to Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) since they operate with limited energy resources which are therefo...
We prove that the edges of every graph of bounded (Euler) genus can be partitioned into any prescribed number k of pieces such that contracting any piece results in a graph of bou...
