We investigate blob-trees, a new way of connecting a set of points, by a mixture of enclosing them by cycles (as in the convex hull) and connecting them by edges (as in a spanning tree). We show that a minimum-cost blob-tree for $n$ points…
We introduce and study the general problem of finding a most "scale-free-like" spanning tree of a connected graph. It is motivated by a particular problem in epidemiology, and may be useful in studies of various dynamical processes in…

Given a graph and a root, the Maximum Bounded Rooted-Tree Packing (MBRTP) problem aims at finding K rooted-trees that span the largest subset of vertices, when each vertex has a limited outdegree. This problem is motivated by peer-to-peer…
The Steiner Tree problem is a classical problem in combinatorial optimization: the goal is to connect a set $T$ of terminals in a graph $G$ by a tree of minimum size. Karpinski and Zelikovsky (1996) studied the $\delta$-dense version of…
We consider minimum-cost spanning trees, both in lattice and Euclidean models, in d dimensions. For the cost of the optimum tree in a box of size L, we show that there is a correction of order L^theta, where theta < 0 is a universal…
An approximate Steiner tree is a Steiner tree on a given set of terminals in Euclidean space such that the angles at the Steiner points are within a specified error e from 120 degrees.This notion arises in numerical approximations of…
Algorithms for dynamically maintaining minimum spanning trees (MSTs) have received much attention in both the parallel and sequential settings. While previous work has given optimal algorithms for dense graphs, all existing parallel…
We study the electrical distribution network reconfiguration problem, defined as follows. We are given an undirected graph with a root vertex, demand at each non-root vertex, and resistance on each edge. Then, we want to find a spanning…
Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) and Breadth-First Search (BFS) tree constructions are classical problems in distributed computing, traditionally studied in the message-passing model, where static nodes communicate via messages. This paper…

We present a deterministic algorithm for computing the sensitivity of a minimum spanning tree (MST) or shortest path tree in $O(m\log\alpha(m,n))$ time, where $\alpha$ is the inverse-Ackermann function. This improves upon a long standing…
In the Continuous Steiner Tree problem (CST), we are given as input a set of points (called terminals) in a metric space and ask for the minimum-cost tree connecting them. Additional points (called Steiner points) from the metric space can…
In the minimum constraint removal ($MCR$), there is no feasible path to move from the starting point towards the goal and, the minimum constraints should be removed in order to find a collision-free path. It has been proved that $MCR$…
We consider lower bounds on the number of spanning trees of connected graphs with degree bounded by $d$. The question is of interest because such bounds may improve the analysis of the improvement produced by memorisation in the runtime of…
In the Metric Dimension problem, one asks for a minimum-size set $R$ of vertices such that for any pair of vertices of the graph, there is a vertex from $R$ whose two distances to the vertices of the pair are distinct. This problem has…
