A 5/3-Approximation for Finding Spanning Trees with Many Leaves in Cubic Graphs
For a connected graph G, let L(G) denote the maximum number of leaves in a spanning tree in G. The problem of computing L(G) is known to be NP-hard even for cubic graphs. We improv...

Lower Bounds for Maximum Parsimony with Gene Order Data
Abstract. In this paper, we study lower bound techniques for branchand-bound algorithms for maximum parsimony, with a focus on gene order data. We give a simple O(n3 ) time dynamic...

Fast heuristics for the Steiner tree problem with revenues, budget and hop constraints
This article describes and compares three heuristics for a variant of the Steiner tree problem with revenues, which includes budget and hop constraints. First, a greedy method whi...
