In p-median location interdiction the aim is to find a subset of edges in a graph, such that the objective value of the p-median problem in the same graph without the selected edges is as large as possible. We prove that this problem is…
This paper deals with the facility location problems with balancing on allocation clients to servers. Two bi-objective models are considered, in which one objective is the traditional p-median or p-maxian objective and the second is to…
For any fixed measure $H$ that maps graphs to real numbers, the MinH problem is defined as follows: given a graph $G$, an integer $k$, and a target $\tau$, is there a set $S$ of $k$ vertices that can be deleted, so that $H(G - S)$ is at…
The maximum common subtree isomorphism problem asks for the largest possible isomorphism between subtrees of two given input trees. This problem is a natural restriction of the maximum common subgraph problem, which is ${\sf NP}$-hard in…

We consider the Restricted Inverse Optimal Value Problem (RIOVSP) on trees under weighted bottleneck Hamming distance, denoted as (RIOVSPT$_{BH}$). The problem aims to minimize the total cost under weighted bottle-neck Hamming distance such…
We study the crossing-minimization problem in a layered graph drawing of planar-embedded rooted trees whose leaves have a given total order on the first layer, which adheres to the embedding of each individual tree. The task is then to…
We consider the in-plane motion of elastic strings on tree-like network, observed from the 'leaves'. We investigate the inverse problem of recovering not only the physical properties i.e. the 'optical lengths' of each string, but also the…
We study the inverse problem of recovering a tree graph together with the weights on its edges (equivalently a metric tree) from the knowledge of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann matrix associated with the Laplacian. We prove an explicit formula…
Given a directed graph $G=(V,A)$, the Directed Maximum Leaf Spanning Tree problem asks to compute a directed spanning tree (i.e., an out-branching) with as many leaves as possible. By designing a Branch-and-Reduced algorithm combined with…
This paper is aimed to investigate some computational aspects of different isoperimetric problems on weighted trees. In this regard, we consider different connectivity parameters called {\it minimum normalized cuts}/{\it isoperimteric…
We consider combinatorial problems that can be solved in polynomial time for graphs of bounded treewidth but where the order of the polynomial that bounds the running time is expected to depend on the treewidth bound. First we review some…
We present approximation algorithms for the following NP-hard optimization problems related to bottleneck spanning trees in metric spaces. 1. The disjoint bottleneck spanning tree problem: Given $n$ pairs of points in a metric space, find…
In the longest plane spanning tree problem, we are given a finite planar point set $\mathcal{P}$, and our task is to find a plane (i.e., noncrossing) spanning tree for $\mathcal{P}$ with maximum total Euclidean edge length. Despite more…
In 2011, Harrigan and Healy published a polynomial-time algorithm for one-sided crossing minimization for trees. We point out a counterexample to that algorithm, and show that one-sided crossing minimization is NP-hard for trees.
The minimum linear arrangement problem on a network consists of finding the minimum sum of edge lengths that can be achieved when the vertices are arranged linearly. Although there are algorithms to solve this problem on trees in polynomial…
In this paper the minimum spanning tree problem with uncertain edge costs is discussed. In order to model the uncertainty a discrete scenario set is specified and a robust framework is adopted to choose a solution. The min-max, min-max…
