We study the {\em min-cost chain-constrained spanning-tree} (abbreviated \mcst) problem: find a min-cost spanning tree in a graph subject to degree constraints on a nested family of node sets. We devise the {\em first} polytime algorithm…

We consider the minimum spanning tree problem with predictions, using the weight-arrival model, i.e., the graph is given, together with predictions for the weights of all edges. Then the actual weights arrive one at a time and an…

We consider the problem of enumerating, for a given directed graph $G=(V,E)$ and a node $r\in V$, all directed spanning trees of $G$ rooted at $r$. For undirected graphs, the corresponding problem of enumerating all spanning trees has…

We give an algorithm for finding the arboricity of a weighted, undirected graph, defined as the minimum number of spanning forests that cover all edges of the graph, in $\sqrt{n} m^{1+o(1)}$ time. This improves on the previous best bound of…

We study two fundamental decremental dynamic graph problems. In both problems, we need to maintain a vertex-weighted forest of size $n$ under edge deletions, weight updates, and a certain information-retrieval query. Both problems can be…
