Exploiting the path of least resistance in evolution
Hereditary Repulsion (HR) is a selection method coupled with a fitness constraint that substantially improves the performance and consistency of evolutionary algorithms. This als...

Finding Steiner Forests in Planar Graphs
Given an unweighted planar graph G together with nets of terminals, our problem is to find a Steiner forest, i.e., vertex-disjoint trees, each of which interconnects all the termin...

A nearly optimal oracle for avoiding failed vertices and edges
We present an improved oracle for the distance sensitivity problem. The goal is to preprocess a directed graph G = (V, E) with non-negative edge weights to answer queries of the f...

Improving Exhaustive Search Implies Superpolynomial Lower Bounds
The P vs NP problem arose from the question of whether exhaustive search is necessary for problems with short verifiable solutions. We do not know if even a slight algorithmic imp...

Greedy Heuristics and an Evolutionary Algorithm for the Bounded-Diameter Minimum Spanning Tree Problem
Given a connected, weighted, undirected graph G and a bound D, the bounded-diameter minimum spanning tree problem seeks a spanning tree on G of lowest weight in which no path betw...
