Given an edge weighted graph and a forest $F$, the $\textit{2-edge connectivity augmentation problem}$ is to pick a minimum weighted set of edges, $E'$, such that every connected component of $E'\cup F$ is 2-edge connected. Williamson et…
A treedepth decomposition of an undirected graph $G$ is a rooted forest $F$ on the vertex set of $G$ such that every edge $uv\in E(G)$ is in ancestor-descendant relationship in $F$. Given a weight function $w\colon V(G)\rightarrow…
An algorithm on weighted graphs is called universally optimal if it is optimal for every input graph, in the worst case taken over all weight assignments. Informally, this means the algorithm is competitive even with algorithms that are…
