We study the rent-or-buy variant of the online Steiner forest problem on node- and edge-weighted graphs. For $n$-node graphs with at most $\bar{n}$ non-zero node-weights, and at most $\tilde{k}$ different arriving terminal pairs, we obtain…

We consider connectivity problems with orientation constraints. Given a directed graph $D$ and a collection of ordered node pairs $P$ let $P[D]=\{(u,v) \in P: D {contains a} uv{-path}}$. In the {\sf Steiner Forest Orientation} problem we…

The Steiner tree problem aims to determine a minimum edge-weighted tree that spans a given set of terminal vertices from a given graph. In the past decade, a considerable number of algorithms have been developed to solve this…

We present two algorithms for maintaining the topological order of a directed acyclic graph with n vertices, under an online edge insertion sequence of m edges. Efficient algorithms for online topological ordering have many applications,…

We present optimal online algorithms for two related known problems involving Steiner Arborescence, improving both the lower and the upper bounds. One of them is the well studied continuous problem of the {\em Rectilinear Steiner…

In this paper we design and prove correct a fully dynamic distributed algorithm for maintaining an approximate Steiner tree that connects via a minimum-weight spanning tree a subset of nodes of a network (referred as Steiner members or…

We consider a new Steiner tree problem, called vertex-cover-weighted Steiner tree problem. This problem defines the weight of a Steiner tree as the minimum weight of vertex covers in the tree, and seeks a minimum-weight Steiner tree in a…

The online dominating set problem is an online variant of the minimum dominating set problem, which is one of the most important NP-hard problems on graphs. This problem is defined as follows: Given an undirected graph $G = (V, E)$, in…

We study the problem of finding a spanning forest in an undirected, $n$-vertex multi-graph under two basic query models. One is the Linear query model which are linear measurements on the incidence vector induced by the edges; the other is…

The Euclidean Steiner tree problem, normally posed in two dimensions, seeks to connect a set of prescribed terminal nodes by placing additional nodes, known as Steiner points, with edges connecting such nodes either to another Steiner point…

In this paper, we study the online Euclidean spanners problem for points in $\mathbb{R}^d$. Suppose we are given a sequence of $n$ points $(s_1,s_2,\ldots, s_n)$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$, where point $s_i$ is presented in step~$i$ for $i=1,\ldots,…

The Steiner tree problem is a well-known problem in network design, routing, and VLSI design. Given a graph, edge costs, and a set of dedicated vertices (terminals), the Steiner tree problem asks to output a sub-graph that connects all…

We study two problems that seek a subtree $T$ of a graph $G=(V,E)$ such that $T$ satisfies a certain property and has minimal maximum degree. - In the Min-Degree Group Steiner Tree problem we are given a collection ${\cal S}$ of groups…

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…

We consider the Minimum Steiner Cut problem on undirected planar graphs with non-negative edge weights. This problem involves finding the minimum cut of the graph that separates a specified subset $X$ of vertices (terminals) into two parts.…

Given an undirected graph G=(V,E) and subset of terminals T \subseteq V, the element-connectivity of two terminals u,v \in T is the maximum number of u-v paths that are pairwise disjoint in both edges and non-terminals V \setminus T (the…

In the Steiner Forest problem, we are given a graph with edge lengths, and a collection of demand pairs; the goal is to find a subgraph of least total length such that each demand pair is connected in this subgraph. For over twenty years,…

We present a simple algorithm which maintains the topological order of a directed acyclic graph with n nodes under an online edge insertion sequence in O(n^{2.75}) time, independent of the number of edges m inserted. For dense DAGs, this is…

We are interested in the design of survivable capacitated rooted Steiner networks. Given a graph G = (V, E), capacity and cost functions on E, a root r, a subset T of V of terminals and an integer k, we search for a minimum cost subset E…

Given access to the vertex set $V$ of a connected graph $G=(V,E)$ and an oracle that given two vertices $u,v\in V$, returns the shortest path distance between $u$ and $v$, how many queries are needed to reconstruct $E$? Firstly, we show…
