Given a connected graph $G=(V,E)$ and a $k$-set $S\subseteq V(G)$, the $Steiner$ $distance$ $d_{G}(S)$ of $S$ is defined as the size of a minimum tree including $S$ in $G$. The $Steiner$ $k$-$eccentricity$ of a vertex $v$ in $G$ is the…

We consider the isoperimetric problem for clusters in the plane with a double density, that is, perimeter and volume depend on two weights. In this paper we consider the isotropic case, in the parallel paper "On the Steiner property for…

Gilbert--Steiner problem is a generalization of the Steiner tree problem on a specific optimal mass transportation. We show that every branching point in a solution of the planar Gilbert--Steiner problem has degree 3.

We study the complexity of geometric problems on spaces of low fractal dimension. It was recently shown by [Sidiropoulos & Sridhar, SoCG 2017] that several problems admit improved solutions when the input is a pointset in Euclidean space…

Erd\H{o}s' unit distance problem and Erd\H{o}s' distinct distances problem are among the most classical and well-known open problems in discrete mathematics. They ask for the maximum number of unit distances, or the minimum number of…

A rectilinear Steiner tree for a set $P$ of points in $\mathbb{R}^2$ is a tree that connects the points in $P$ using horizontal and vertical line segments. The goal of Minimal Rectilinear Steiner Tree is to find a rectilinear Steiner tree…

We prove that if $T_1,\dots, T_n$ is a sequence of bounded degree trees so that $T_i$ has $i$ vertices, then $K_n$ has a decomposition into $T_1,\dots, T_n$. This shows that the tree packing conjecture of Gy\'arf\'as and Lehel from 1976…

Calibrations are a possible tool to validate the minimality of a certain candidate. They have been introduced in the context of minimal surfaces and adapted to the case of Steiner problem in several variants. Our goal is to compare the…

A Petrov-Galerkin finite element method is constructed for a singularly perturbed elliptic problem in two space dimensions. The solution contains a regular boundary layer and two characteristic boundary layers. Exponential splines are used…

This paper studies Minimum Spanning Trees under incomplete information for its vertices. We assume that no information is available on the precise placement of vertices so that it is only known that vertices belong to some neighborhoods…

This paper investigates a local central limit theorem for a normalized sequence of random variables belonging to a fixed order Wiener chaos and converging to the standard normal distribution. We prove, without imposing any additional…

We show that the conditions imposed on a second order linear differential equation with rational coefficients on the complex line by requiring it to have regular singularities with fixed exponents at the points of a finite set $P$ and…

The Stoker problem, first formulated in 1968, consists in understanding to what extent a convex polyhedron is determined by its dihedral angles. By means of the double construction, this problem is intimately related to rigidity issues for…

In the Euclidean Bottleneck Steiner Tree problem, the input consists of a set of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^2$ called terminals and a parameter $k$, and the goal is to compute a Steiner tree that spans all the terminals and contains at most…

Let $G$ be a graph. The Steiner distance of $W\subseteq V(G)$ is the minimum size of a connected subgraph of $G$ containing $W$. Such a subgraph is necessarily a tree called a Steiner $W$-tree. The set $A\subseteq V(G)$ is a $k$-Steiner…

In this work, I collect and discuss a series of open questions in one-dimensional geometric optimization in Euclidean spaces. The focus is on two classes of problems: maximal distance minimizers and Steiner trees. Maximal distance…

For a $k$-tree $T$, we prove that the maximum local mean order is attained in a $k$-clique of degree $1$ and that it is not more than twice the global mean order. We also bound the global mean order if $T$ has no $k$-cliques of degree $2$…

Various questions related to distances between vertices of simple, finite graphs are of interest to extremal graph theorists. The Steiner distance of a set of $k$ vertices is a natural generalization of the regular distance. We extend…
