The Steiner $k$-eccentricity of a vertex $v$ of a graph $G$ is the maximum Steiner distance over all $k$-subsets of $V (G)$ which contain $v$. In this note, we design a linear algorithm for computing the Steiner $3$-eccentricities and the…
The Obstacle Avoiding Rectilinear Steiner Minimum Tree (OARSMT) problem, which seeks the shortest interconnection of a given number of terminals in a rectilinear plane while avoiding obstacles, is a critical task in integrated circuit…
We study the Steiner Tree problem on the intersection graph of most natural families of geometric objects, e.g., disks, squares, polygons, etc. Given a set of $n$ objects in the plane and a subset $T$ of $t$ terminal objects, the task is to…
In this paper, we consider Steiner forest and its generalizations, prize-collecting Steiner forest and k-Steiner forest, when the vertices of the input graph are points in the Euclidean plane and the lengths are Euclidean distances. First,…
In this paper we study a family of algorithms, introduced by Chan [SODA 1999] and called LR-algorithms, for drawing ordered rooted binary trees. In particular, we are interested in constructing LR-drawings (that are drawings obtained via…
In the classical Steiner tree problem, given an undirected, connected graph $G=(V,E)$ with non-negative edge costs and a set of \emph{terminals} $T\subseteq V$, the objective is to find a minimum-cost tree $E' \subseteq E$ that spans the…
Let G=(V,E) be a connected graph, where V and E represent, respectively, the node-set and the edge-set. Besides, let Q \subseteq V be a set of terminal nodes, and r \in Q be the root node of the graph. Given a weight c_{ij} \in \mathbb{N}…
We present sublinear-time (randomized) algorithms for finding simple cycles of length at least $k\geq 3$ and tree-minors in bounded-degree graphs. The complexity of these algorithms is related to the distance of the graph from being…
We obtain polynomial-time approximation-preserving reductions (up to a factor of 1 + \epsilon) from the prize-collecting Steiner tree and prize-collecting Steiner forest problems in planar graphs to the corresponding problems in graphs of…
Computing planar orthogonal drawings with the minimum number of bends is one of the most relevant topics in Graph Drawing. The problem is known to be NP-hard, even when we want to test the existence of a rectilinear planar drawing, i.e., an…
The Cartesian tree of a sequence captures the relative order of the sequence's elements. In recent years, Cartesian tree matching has attracted considerable attention, particularly due to its applications in time series analysis. Consider a…
When analysing binary data, the ease at which one can interpret results is very important. Many existing methods, however, discover either models that are difficult to read, or return so many results interpretation becomes impossible. Here,…
The Directed Steiner Tree (DST) problem is defined on a directed graph $G=(V,E)$, where we are given a designated root vertex $r$ and a set of $k$ terminals $K \subseteq V \setminus {r}$. The goal is to find a minimum-cost subgraph that…
A tree-packing is a collection of spanning trees of a graph. It has been a useful tool for computing the minimum cut in static, dynamic, and distributed settings. In particular, [Thorup, Comb. 2007] used them to obtain his dynamic min-cut…
In designing a network to link n cities in a square of area n, one might be guided by the following two desiderata. First, the total network length should not be much greater than the length of the shortest network connecting all cities.…
The geometric bottleneck Steiner network problem on a set of vertices $X$ embedded in a normed plane requires one to construct a graph $G$ spanning $X$ and a variable set of $k\geq 0$ additional points, such that the length of the longest…
Given a connected graph $G$ and a terminal set $R \subseteq V(G)$, {\em Steiner tree} asks for a tree that includes all of $R$ with at most $r$ edges for some integer $r \geq 0$. It is known from [ND12,Garey et. al \cite{steinernpc}] that…
We study spanners in planar domains, including polygonal domains, polyhedral terrain, and planar metrics. Previous work showed that for any constant $\epsilon\in (0,1)$, one could construct a $(2+\epsilon)$-spanner with $O(n\log(n))$ edges…
With applications in distribution systems and communication networks, the minimum stretch spanning tree problem is to find a spanning tree T of a graph G such that the maximum distance in T between two adjacent vertices is minimized. The…
