We study several multi-criteria undirected network design problems with node costs and lengths. All these problems are related to the Multicommodity Buy at Bulk (MBB) problem in w...
The survivable network design problem (SNDP) is to construct a minimum-cost subgraph satisfying certain given edge-connectivity requirements. The first polynomial-time approximati...

In this paper, we give the first constant-approximations for a number of layered network design problems. We begin by modeling hierarchical caching, where caches are placed in la...
A well-known theorem of Nash-Williams and Tutte gives a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of k edge-disjoint spanning trees in an undirected graph. A corollary o...
Abstract. An optimization problem arising in the design of optical fibre networks is discussed. A network contains client nodes, each installed on one or more SONET rings. A const...
