A General Approximation Technique for Constrained Forest Problems
We present a general approximation technique for a large class of graph problems. Our technique mostly applies to problems of covering, at minimum cost, the vertices of a graph wit...

New Algorithms for Minimum Area k-gons
Given a set P of n points in the plane, we wish to find a set Q P of k points for which the convex hull conv(Q) has the minimum area. We solve this, and the related problem of fi...

Approximating the Minimum Weight Triangulation
We show that the length of the minimum weight Steiner triangulation (MWST) of a point set can be approximated within a constant factor by a triangulation algorithm based on quadtr...

Finding Steiner Forests in Planar Graphs
Given an unweighted planar graph G together with nets of terminals, our problem is to find a Steiner forest, i.e., vertex-disjoint trees, each of which interconnects all the termin...

Suffix Arrays: A New Method for On-Line String Searches
A new and conceptually simple data structure, called a suffix array, for on-line string searches is introduced in this paper. Constructing and querying suffix arrays is reduced to...
