The online (uniform) buy-at-bulk network design problem asks us to design a network, where the edge-costs exhibit economy-of-scale. Previous approaches to this problem used tree- embeddings, giving us randomized algorithms. Moreover, the…

The Secluded Path problem models a situation where a sensitive information has to be transmitted between a pair of nodes along a path in a network. The measure of the quality of a selected path is its exposure, which is the total weight of…
We consider network design problems with deadline or delay. All previous results for these models are based on randomized embedding of the graph into a tree (HST) and then solving the problem on this tree. We show that this is not…
