This paper deals with the maximum-weight 2-path packing problem (M2PP), which is the problem of computing a set of vertex-disjoint paths of length 2 in a given edge-weighted compl...
In this paper, we deal with arbitrary convex and concave rectilinear module packing using the Transitive Closure Graph (TCG) representation. The geometric meanings of modules are ...
Abstract. We develop a generic framework for deriving linear-size problem kernels for NP-hard problems on planar graphs. We demonstrate the usefulness of our framework in several c...
Abstract. We describe fully polynomial time approximation schemes for generalized multicommodity flow problems arising in VLSI applications such as Global Routing via Buffer Block...

Abstract. Given a family of subsets of an n-element universe, the kcover problem asks whether there are k sets in the family whose union contains the universe; in the k-packing pro...
