We describe a simple iterative method for proving a variety of results in combinatorial optimization. It is inspired by Jain’s iterative rounding method (FOCS 1998) for designing...
A minimum spanning tree (MST) with a small diameter is required in numerous practical situations. It is needed, for example, in distributed mutual exclusion algorithms in order to...
We study graph estimation and density estimation in high dimensions, using a family of density estimators based on forest structured undirected graphical models. For density estim...

We study Connected Facility Location problems. We are given a connected graph G = (V, E) with nonnegative edge cost ce for each edge e E, a set of clients D V such that each cli...

In this paper, we consider a variation of the Euclidean Steiner Tree Problem in which the space underlying the set of nodes has a specified non-uniform cost structure. This proble...
