Given a connected, undirected graph whose edges are labelled (or coloured), the minimum labelling spanning tree (MLST) problem seeks a spanning tree whose edges have the smallest number of distinct labels (or colours). In recent work, the…
Given a graph $G=(V,E)$ and a set $C$ of unordered pairs of edges regarded as being in conflict, a stable spanning tree in $G$ is a set of edges $T$ inducing a spanning tree in $G$, such that for each $\left\lbrace e_i, e_j \right\rbrace…
We propose new succinct representations of ordinal trees, which have been studied extensively. It is known that any $n$-node static tree can be represented in $2n + o(n)$ bits and a number of operations on the tree can be supported in…
We present an algorithm that, with high probability, generates a random spanning tree from an edge-weighted undirected graph in $\tilde{O}(n^{4/3}m^{1/2}+n^{2})$ time (The $\tilde{O}(\cdot)$ notation hides $\operatorname{polylog}(n)$…

Constructing a spanning tree of a graph is one of the most basic tasks in graph theory. We consider this problem in the setting of local algorithms: one wants to quickly determine whether a given edge $e$ is in a specific spanning tree,…

Finding a minimum spanning tree (MST) for $n$ points in an arbitrary metric space is a fundamental primitive for hierarchical clustering and many other ML tasks, but this takes $\Omega(n^2)$ time to even approximate. We introduce a…
