We prove that Simulated Annealing with an appropriate cooling schedule computes arbitrarily tight constant-factor approximations to the minimum spanning tree problem in polynomial time. This result was conjectured by Wegener (2005). More…

We describe a combinatorial approach for investigating properties of rational numbers. The overall approach rests on structural bijections between rational numbers and familiar combinatorial objects, namely rooted trees. We emphasize that…

Let $G$ be a directed graph associated with a weight $w: E(G) \rightarrow R^+$. For an edge-cut $Q$ of $G$, the average weight of $Q$ is denoted and defined as $w_{ave}(Q)=\frac{\sum_{e\in Q}w(e)}{|Q|}$. An edge-cut of optimal average…

The theory of tent spaces on $\mathbb{R}^n$ was introduced by Coifman, Meyer and Stein, including atomic decomposition, duality theory and so on. Russ generalized the atomic decomposition for tent spaces to the case of spaces of homogeneous…

We prove that every tree on $n$ edges decomposes $K_{nx,nx}$ and $K_{2nx + 1}$ for all positive integers $x$. The said decompositions are obtained by proving that every tree admits a $\vec{\beta}$-labeling (oriented beta-labeling). Our…

An algorithm is proposed for constructing directed spanning forests of the minimum weight, in which the maximum possible degree of affinity between the minimum forests is preserved when the number of trees changes. The correctness of the…

We consider the minimum spanning tree problem on a weighted complete bipartite graph $K_{n_R, n_B}$ whose $n=n_R+n_B$ vertices are random, i.i.d. uniformly distributed points in the unit cube in $d$ dimensions and edge weights are the…

Cubicity of a graph $G$ is the smallest dimension $d$, for which $G$ is a unit disc graph in ${\mathbb{R}}^d$, under the $l^\infty$ metric, i.e. $G$ can be represented as an intersection graph of $d$-dimensional (axis-parallel) unit…

Let $T$ be a tree, we show that the null space of the adjacency matrix of $T$ has relevant information about the structure of $T$. We introduce the Null Decomposition of trees, and use it in order to get formulas for independence number and…

We give polynomial time logarithmic approximation guarantees for the budget minimization, as well as for the profit maximization versions of minimum spanning tree interdiction. In this problem, the goal is to remove some edges of an…

A minimax tree is similar to a Huffman tree except that, instead of minimizing the weighted average of the leaves' depths, it minimizes the maximum of any leaf's weight plus its depth. Golumbic (1976) introduced minimax trees and gave a…

The mutational heterogeneity of tumours can be described with a tree representing the evolutionary history of the tumour. With noisy sequencing data there may be uncertainty in the inferred tree structure, while we may also wish to study…

Tree-decompositions of graphs are of fundamental importance in structural and algorithmic graph theory. The main property of tree-decompositions is the width (the maximum size of a bag minus 1). We show that every graph has a…

Pre-transformed polar codes (PTPCs) form a class of codes that perform close to the finite-length capacity bounds. The minimum distance and the number of minimum weight codewords are two decisive properties for their performance. In this…

Extending some properties from the Euclidean plane to any normed plane, we show the validity of the Monma-Paterson-Suri-Yao algorithm for finding the maximum-weighted spanning tree of a set of $n$ points, where the weight of an edge is the…

Hypertree decompositions provide a way to evaluate Conjunctive Queries (CQs) in polynomial time, where the exponent of this polynomial is determined by the width of the decomposition. In theory, the goal of efficient CQ evaluation therefore…

Optimal transport provides a metric which quantifies the dissimilarity between probability measures. For measures supported in discrete metric spaces, finding the optimal transport distance has cubic time complexity in the size of the…

Weighted Triebel-Lizorkin and Besov spaces on the unit ball $B^d$ in $\Rd$ with weights $\W(x)= (1-|x|^2)^{\mu-1/2}$, $\mu \ge 0$, are introduced and explored. A decomposition scheme is developed in terms of almost exponentially localized…

The maximum agreement forest (MAF) problem in phylogenetics takes as input a set t >= 2 of binary phylogenetic trees T on the same set of taxa X. It asks for a partition of X into the smallest number of blocks such that the subtrees induced…

We concern the problem of modifying the edge lengths of a tree in minimum total cost so that the prespecified $p$ vertices become the $p$-maxian with respect to the new edge lengths. This problem is called the inverse $p$-maxian problem on…
