We propose an effective heuristic to save memory in dynamic programming on tree decompositions when solving graph optimization problems. The introduced "anchor technique"...
We study the following problem: Given a tree G and a finite set of trees H, find a subset O of the edges of G such that G − O does not contain a subtree isomorphic to a tree f...
Constructive metaheuristics explore a tree of constructive decisions, the topology of which is determined by the way solutions are represented and constructed. Some solution repres...
In this paper we consider the problem of computing the expected hitting time to a vertex for random walks on graphs. We give a method for computing an upper bound on the expected ...
For a graph G, let fij be the number of spanning rooted forests in which vertex j belongs to a tree rooted at i. In this paper, we show that for a path, the fij's can be expr...
