We significantly improve known time bounds for solving the minimum cut problem on undirected graphs. We use a "semiduality" between minimum cuts and maximum spanning tree...
Abstract-- The calculation of network reliability in a probabilistic context has long been an issue of practical and academic importance. Conventional approaches (determination of ...
In this paper, we propose a novel method for the automatic segmentation of a foreground layer from a natural scene in real time by fusing infrared, color and edge information. Thi...
In the minimum path coloring problem, we are given a graph and a set of pairs of vertices of the graph and we are asked to connect the pairs by colored paths in such a way that pa...
We describe the first algorithm to compute maximum flows in surface-embedded graphs in near-linear time. Specifically, given a graph embedded on a surface of genus g, with two spe...
