The Angular Constrained Minimum Spanning Tree Problem ($\alpha$-MSTP) is defined in terms of a complete undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ and an angle $\alpha \in (0,2\pi]$. Vertices of $G$ define points in the Euclidean plane while edges, the…

The cost-distance Steiner tree problem seeks a Steiner tree that minimizes the total congestion cost plus the weighted sum of source-sink delays. This problem arises as a subroutine in timing-constrained global routing with a linear delay…

In this paper we describe a randomized algorithm which returns a maximal spanning forest of an unknown {\em weighted} undirected graph making $O(n)$ $\mathsf{CUT}$ queries in expectation. For weighted graphs, this is optimal due to a result…

We provide the first asynchronous distributed algorithms to compute broadcast and minimum spanning tree with $o(m)$ bits of communication, in a graph with $n$ nodes and $m$ edges. For decades, it was believed that $\Omega(m)$ bits of…

Given a 2-edge connected, unweighted, and undirected graph $G$ with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, a $\sigma$-tree spanner is a spanning tree $T$ of $G$ in which the ratio between the distance in $T$ of any pair of vertices and the…

Given an undirected edge-weighted graph $G=(V,E)$ with $m$ edges and $n$ vertices, the minimum cut problem asks to find a subset of vertices $S$ such that the total weight of all edges between $S$ and $V \setminus S$ is minimized. Karger's…
