In undirected graphs with real non-negative weights, we give a new randomized algorithm for the single-source shortest path (SSSP) problem with running time $O(m\sqrt{\log n \cdot \log\log n})$ in the comparison-addition model. This is the…

We prove that given a discrete space with $n$ points which is either embedded in a system of $k$ trees, or the Cartesian product of $k$ trees, we can compute all eccentricities in ${\cal O}(2^{{\cal O}(k\log{k})}(N+n)^{1+o(1)})$ time, where…

Bounded-angle (minimum) spanning trees were first introduced in the context of wireless networks with directional antennas. They are reminiscent of bounded-degree spanning trees, which have received significant attention. Let $P =…

We revisit Hopcroft's problem and related fundamental problems about geometric range searching. Given $n$ points and $n$ lines in the plane, we show how to count the number of point-line incidence pairs or the number of point-above-line…

In the Euclidean Bottleneck Steiner Tree problem, the input consists of a set of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^2$ called terminals and a parameter $k$, and the goal is to compute a Steiner tree that spans all the terminals and contains at most…

Search trees on trees (STTs) generalize the fundamental binary search tree (BST) data structure: in STTs the underlying search space is an arbitrary tree, whereas in BSTs it is a path. An optimal BST of size $n$ can be computed for a given…

In this paper, we show that the Minimum Spanning Tree problem can be solved \emph{deterministically}, in $\mathcal{O}(1)$ rounds of the $\mathsf{Congested}$ $\mathsf{Clique}$ model. In the $\mathsf{Congested}$ $\mathsf{Clique}$ model, there…

A tree $\sigma$-spanner of a positively real-weighted $n$-vertex and $m$-edge undirected graph $G$ is a spanning tree $T$ of $G$ which approximately preserves (i.e., up to a multiplicative stretch factor $\sigma$) distances in $G$. Tree…

Let $R$ and $B$ be two disjoint sets of points in the plane where the points of $R$ are colored red and the points of $B$ are colored blue, and let $n=|R\cup B|$. A bichromatic spanning tree is a spanning tree in the complete bipartite…

We consider the minimum spanning tree (MST) problem under the restriction that for every vertex v, the edges of the tree that are adjacent to v satisfy a given family of constraints. A famous example thereof is the classical…

We study the minimal spanning arborescence which is the directed analogue of the minimal spanning tree, with a particular focus on its infinite volume limit and its geometric properties. We prove that in a certain large class of transient…

Given a set $S$ of $n$ (distinct) keys from key space $[U]$, each associated with a value from $\Sigma$, the \emph{static dictionary} problem asks to preprocess these (key, value) pairs into a data structure, supporting value-retrieval…

We investigate the computation of minimum-cost spanning trees satisfying prescribed vertex degree constraints: Given a graph $G$ and a constraint function $D$, we ask for a (minimum-cost) spanning tree $T$ such that for each vertex $v$, $T$…

We study the problem of low-stretch spanning trees in graphs of bounded width: bandwidth, cutwidth, and treewidth. We show that any simple connected graph $G$ with a linear arrangement of bandwidth $b$ can be embedded into a distribution…

The high computational complexity and increasing parameter counts of deep neural networks pose significant challenges for deployment in resource-constrained environments, such as edge devices or real-time systems. To address this, we…

We give an algorithm that computes a $(1+\epsilon)$-approximate Steiner forest in near-linear time $n \cdot 2^{(1/\epsilon)^{O(ddim^2)} (\log \log n)^2}$. This is a dramatic improvement upon the best previous result due to Chan et al., who…

In many applications of evolutionary algorithms the computational cost of applying operators and storing populations is comparable to the cost of fitness evaluation. Furthermore, by knowing what exactly has changed in an individual by an…

In this paper we consider finding a geometric minimum-sum dipolar spanning tree in R^3, and present an algorithm that takes O(n^2 log^2 n) time using O(n^2) space, thus almost matching the best known results for the planar case. Our…

We attempt to shed new light on the notion of 'tree-like' metric spaces by focusing on an approach that does not use the four-point condition. Our key question is: Given metric space $M$ on $n$ points, when does a fully labelled…

Hierarchical clustering (HC) algorithms are generally limited to small data instances due to their runtime costs. Here we mitigate this shortcoming and explore fast HC algorithms based on random projections for single (SLC) and average…
