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...
Abstract. We present hardness results, approximation heuristics, and exact algorithms for bottleneck labeled optimization problems arising in the context of graph theory. This long...
Network design involves several areas of engineering and science. Computer networks, electrical circuits, transportation problems, and phylogenetic trees are some examples. In gene...
The Blob Code is a bijective tree code that represents each tree on n labelled vertices as a string of n − 2 vertex labels. In recent years, several researchers have deployed th...
This paper investigates, for the first time in the literature, the approximation of min-max (regret) versions of classical problems like shortest path, minimum spanning tree, and ...
