We show that the geometry of minimum spanning trees (MST) on random graphs is universal. Due to this geometric universality, we are able to characterise the energy of MST using a scaling distribution ($P(\epsilon)$) found using uniform…

We present a self-stabilizing protocol for an overlay network that constructs the Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) for an underlay that is modeled by a weighted tree. The weight of an overlay edge between two nodes is the weighted length of…

We consider a one-round two-player network pricing game, the Stackelberg Minimum Spanning Tree game or StackMST. The game is played on a graph (representing a network), whose edges are colored either red or blue, and where the red edges…

We study the relation between the minimal spanning tree (MST) on many random points and the "near-minimal" tree which is optimal subject to the constraint that a proportion $\delta$ of its edges must be different from those of the MST.…

A tree t-spanner of an unweighted graph G is a spanning tree T such that for every two vertices their distance in T is at most t times their distance in G. Given an unweighted graph G and a positive integer t as input, the tree t-spanner…
