Enumeration and Asymptotic Properties of Unlabeled Outerplanar Graphs
We determine the exact and asymptotic number of unlabeled outerplanar graphs. The exact number gn of unlabeled outerplanar graphs on n vertices can be computed in polynomial time,...

Hardness of Approximating the Minimum Distance of a Linear Code
We show that the minimum distance of a linear code is not approximable to within any constant factor in random polynomial time (RP), unless nondeterministic polynomial time (NP) eq...

Stochastic Shortest Paths Via Quasi-convex Maximization
Abstract. We consider the problem of finding shortest paths in a graph with independent randomly distributed edge lengths. Our goal is to maximize the probability that the path len...
