We first consider so-called (1,+s)-branching programs in which along every consistent path at most s variables are tested more than once. We prove that any such program computing...
Several graph problems (e.g., steiner tree, connected domination, hamiltonian path, and isomorphism problem), which can be solved in polynomial time for distance-hereditary graphs...
We study a discrete problem of scheduling activities of several types under the constraint that at most a single activity can be scheduled to any one period. Applications of such ...
The linear-width of a graph G is de ned to be the smallest integer k such that the edges of G can be arranged in a linear ordering e1;:::;er in such a way that for every i = 1;:::...
A digraph D is strong if it contains a directed path from x to y for every choice of vertices x, y in D. We consider the problem (MSSS) of finding the minimum number of arcs in a ...
