Segment Routing is a recent network technology that helps optimizing network throughput by providing finer control over the routing paths. Instead of routing directly from a source to a target, packets are routed via intermediate waypoints.…

The $k-$traveling salesman problem ($k$-TSP) seeks a tour of minimal length that visits a subset of $k\leq n$ points. The traveling repairman problem (TRP) seeks a complete tour with minimal latency. This paper provides constant-factor…

Given an undirected graph with edge weights and a subset $R$ of its edges, the Rural Postman Problem (RPP) is to find a closed walk of minimum total weight containing all edges of $R$. We prove that RPP is WK[1]-complete parameterized by…

Computing a (short) path between two vertices is one of the most fundamental primitives in graph algorithmics. In recent years, the study of paths in temporal graphs, that is, graphs where the vertex set is fixed but the edge set changes…

We introduce a fast, quasi-linear-time heuristic for the Close-Enough Traveling Salesman Problem (CETSP), a continuous generalization of the Euclidean TSP in which each target is a disk that must be intersected. The method adapts the…
