Given a weighted $n$-vertex graph $G$ with integer edge-weights taken from a range $[-M,M]$, we show that the minimum-weight simple path visiting $k$ vertices can be found in time $\tilde{O}(2^k \poly(k) M n^\omega) = O^*(2^k M)$. If the…
In computer vision, we have the problem of creating graphs out of unstructured point-sets, i.e. the data graph. A common approach for this problem consists of building a triangulation which might not always lead to the best solution. Small…
We shall study degree-monotone paths in graphs, a problem inspired by the celebrated theorem of Erd{\H{o}}s-Szekeres concerning the longest monotone subsequence of a given sequence of numbers. A path P in a graph G is said to be a degree…

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…
Querying the shortest path between two vertexes is a fundamental operation in a variety of applications, which has been extensively studied over static road networks. However, in reality, the travel costs of road segments evolve over time,…
Let $G$ be a unit disk graph in the plane defined by $n$ disks whose positions are known. For the case when $G$ is unweighted, we give a simple algorithm to compute a shortest path tree from a given source in $O(n\log n)$ time. For the case…

This paper studies constructive heuristics for the minimum labelling spanning tree (MLST) problem. The purpose is to find a spanning tree that uses edges that are as similar as possible. Given an undirected labeled connected graph (i.e.,…
A straight-line drawing of a graph is a monotone drawing if for each pair of vertices there is a path which is monotonically increasing in some direction, and it is called a strongly monotone drawing if the direction of monotonicity is…
