It is challenging to design large and low-cost communication networks. In this paper, we formulate this challenge as the prize-collecting Steiner Tree Problem (PCSTP). The objective is to minimize the costs of transmission routes and the…
We study the Steiner Tree problem on unit disk graphs. Given a $n$ vertex unit disk graph $G$, a subset $R\subseteq V(G)$ of $t$ vertices and a positive integer $k$, the objective is to decide if there exists a tree $T$ in $G$ that spans…
We consider the problem of computing a Steiner tree of minimum cost under a hop constraint which requires the depth of the tree to be at most $k$. Our main result is an exact algorithm for metrics induced by graphs with bounded treewidth…
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…
We have studied the Steiner tree problem using six-pin soap films in detail. We extend the existing method of experimental realisation of Steiner trees in $n$-terminal problem through soap films to observe new non-minimal Steiner trees. We…
In this paper we propose and study a new complexity model for approximation algorithms. The main motivation are practical problems over large data sets that need to be solved many times for different scenarios, e.g., many multicast trees…
Lightness is a fundamental parameter for Euclidean spanners; it is the ratio of the spanner weight to the weight of the minimum spanning tree of a finite set of points in $\mathbb{R}^d$. In a recent breakthrough, Le and Solomon (2019)…
The expansion of Fiber-To-The-Home (FTTH) networks creates high costs due to expensive excavation procedures. Optimizing the planning process and minimizing the cost of the earth excavation work therefore lead to large savings.…
The hop-constrained Steiner tree problem (HSTP) is a generalization of the classical Steiner tree problem. It asks for a minimum cost subtree that spans some specified nodes of a given graph, such that the number of edges between each node…
We study the computational complexity of exact cardinality-constrained minimum Riesz $s$-energy subset selection in finite metric spaces: given $n$ points, select $k<n$ points of minimum Riesz $s$-energy. The objective sums inverse-power…
We give approximation schemes for Subset TSP and Steiner Tree on unit disk graphs, and more generally, on intersection graphs of similarly sized connected fat (not necessarily convex) polygons in the plane. As a first step towards this…
The Steiner Tree problem asks for the cheapest way of connecting a given subset of the vertices in an undirected graph. One of the most prominent linear programming relaxations for Steiner Tree is the Bidirected Cut Relaxation (BCR).…
This paper summarizes the work on implementing few solutions for the Steiner Tree problem which we undertook in the PAAL project. The main focus of the project is the development of generic implementations of approximation algorithms…
In the Directed Steiner Tree (DST) problem the input is a directed edge-weighted graph $G=(V,E)$, a root vertex $r$ and a set $S \subseteq V$ of $k$ terminals. The goal is to find a min-cost subgraph that connects $r$ to each of the…
In this paper, we introduce a specific type of Euclidean tree called LED (Leaves of Equal Depth) tree. LED trees can be used in computational phylogeny, since they are a natural representative of the time evolution of a set of species in a…
The purpose of this paper is two-fold, first, to review a recent method introduced by S. Becker, P. Cheridito, and P. Jentzen, for solving high-dimensional optimal stopping problems using deep Neural Networks, second, to propose an…
Recently, Hegerfeld and Kratsch [ESA 2023] obtained the first tight algorithmic results for hard connectivity problems parameterized by clique-width. Concretely, they gave one-sided error Monte-Carlo algorithms that given a…
We consider the stochastic geometry model where the location of each node is a random point in a given metric space, or the existence of each node is uncertain. We study the problems of computing the expected lengths of several…
We construct a minimum tree for some boundary symmetric tetrahedra R^3, which has two nodes (interior points) with equal weights (positive numbers) having the property that the common perpendicular of some two opposite edges passes through…
Recent years have witnessed rapid advances in the use of neural networks to solve combinatorial optimization problems. Nevertheless, designing the "right" neural model that can effectively handle a given optimization problem can be…
