Let G = (V,E) be an n-vertex graph and M_d a d-vertex graph, for some constant d. Is M_d a subgraph of G? We consider this problem in a model where all n processes are connected to all other processes, and each message contains up to O(log…

We give a dynamic programming solution to find the minimum cost of a diameter constrained Steiner tree in case of directed graphs. Then we show a simple reduction from undirected version to the directed version to realize an algorithm of…

Given a graph $G$, a set $T$ of terminal vertices, and a demand graph $H$ on $T$, the \textsc{Multicut} problem asks for a set of edges of minimum weight that separates the pairs of terminals specified by the edges of $H$. The…
