A well-studied problem in fault diagnosis is to identify the set of all good processors in a given set {p1, p2, . . . , pn} of processors via asking some processors pi to test whet...
We prove that any graph G with n points has a distribution T over spanning trees such that for any edge (u, v) the expected stretch ET ∼T [dT (u, v)/dG(u, v)] is bounded by ˜O(...
In the symmetric group on a set of size 2n, let P2n denote the conjugacy class of involutions with no fixed points (equivalently, we refer to these as “pairings”, since each ...
The problem of verifying a Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) was introduced by Tarjan in a sequential setting. Given a graph and a tree that spans it, the algorithm is required to check...
Path Layout is a fundamental graph problem in label switching protocols. This problem is raised in various protocols such as the traditional ATM protocol and MPLS which is a new l...
