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...
Consider the following problem: given a metric space, some of whose points are "clients," select a set of at most k facility locations to minimize the average distance f...

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...

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...
This paper addresses the following relay sensor placement problem: given the set of duty sensors in the plane and the upper bound of the transmission range, compute the minimum nu...
