The enumeration of minimal connected dominating sets is known to be notoriously hard for general graphs. Currently, it is only known that the sets can be enumerated slightly faster than $\mathcal{O}^{*}(2^n)$ and the algorithm is highly…
Let $G = (V, E)$ be an undirected graph and let $B \subseteq V \times V$ be a set of terminal pairs. A node/edge multicut is a subset of vertices/edges of $G$ whose removal destroys all the paths between every terminal pair in $B$. The…

Suppose we have a memory storing $0$s and $1$s and we want to estimate the frequency of $1$s by sampling. We want to do this I/O-efficiently, exploiting that each read gives a block of $B$ bits at unit cost; not just one bit. If the input…
