We present a new algorithm, which solves the problem of distributively finding a minimum diameter spanning tree of any (non-negatively) real-weighted graph $G = (V,E,\omega)$. As an intermediate step, we use a new, fast, linear-time…
We study the Multiple Cluster Scheduling problem and the Multiple Strip Packing problem. For both problems, there is no algorithm with approximation ratio better than $2$ unless $P = NP$. In this paper, we present an algorithm with…
Quantum algorithms for graph problems are considered, both in the adjacency matrix model and in an adjacency list-like array model. We give almost tight lower and upper bounds for the bounded error quantum query complexity of Connectivity,…
We design a deterministic algorithm for the $(1+\epsilon)$-approximate maximum matching problem. Our primary result demonstrates that this problem can be solved in $O(\epsilon^{-6})$ semi-streaming passes, improving upon the…
We study the query complexity of the metric Steiner Tree problem, where we are given an $n \times n$ metric on a set $V$ of vertices along with a set $T \subseteq V$ of $k$ terminals, and the goal is to find a tree of minimum cost that…
We study the {\em min-cost chain-constrained spanning-tree} (abbreviated \mcst) problem: find a min-cost spanning tree in a graph subject to degree constraints on a nested family of node sets. We devise the {\em first} polytime algorithm…
We study the problem of maintaining a breadth-first spanning tree (BFS tree) in partially dynamic distributed networks modeling a sequence of either failures or additions of communication links (but not both). We present deterministic…
The Cartesian tree of a sequence captures the relative order of the sequence's elements. In recent years, Cartesian tree matching has attracted considerable attention, particularly due to its applications in time series analysis. Consider a…
We present the first sublinear-in-$n$ round algorithm for sampling an approximately uniform spanning tree of an $n$-vertex graph in the CongestedClique model of distributed computing. In particular, our algorithm requires…
In real life, it is always an urge to reach our goal in minimum effort i.e., it should have a minimum constrained path. The path may be shortest route in practical life, either physical or electronic medium. The scenario is to represents…
We present a new approximation algorithm for the minimum 2-edge-connected spanning subgraph problem. Its approximation ratio is $\frac{4}{3}$, which matches the current best ratio. The approximation ratio of the algorithm is $\frac{6}{5}$…
In this paper we consider finding a geometric minimum-sum dipolar spanning tree in R^3, and present an algorithm that takes O(n^2 log^2 n) time using O(n^2) space, thus almost matching the best known results for the planar case. Our…
We consider the NP-hard problem of finding a spanning tree with a maximum number of internal vertices. This problem is a generalization of the famous Hamiltonian Path problem. Our dynamic-programming algorithms for general and…
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…
Algorithms for dynamically maintaining minimum spanning trees (MSTs) have received much attention in both the parallel and sequential settings. While previous work has given optimal algorithms for dense graphs, all existing parallel…
We consider the well-studied problem of finding a spanning tree with minimum average distance between vertex pairs (called a MAD tree). This is a classic network design problem which is known to be NP-hard. While approximation algorithms…
Given an n-vertex graph G, a drawing of G in the plane is a mapping of its vertices into points of the plane, and its edges into continuous curves, connecting the images of their endpoints. A crossing in such a drawing is a point where two…
We study streaming algorithms for the fundamental geometric problem of computing the cost of the Euclidean Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) on an $n$-point set $X \subset \mathbb{R}^d$. In the streaming model, the points in $X$ can be added and…
We consider the problem of subset selection for $\ell_{p}$ subspace approximation, i.e., given $n$ points in $d$ dimensions, we need to pick a small, representative subset of the given points such that its span gives $(1+\epsilon)$…
We study a maximization problem for geometric network design. Given a set of $n$ compact neighborhoods in $\mathbb{R}^d$, select a point in each neighborhood, so that the longest spanning tree on these points (as vertices) has maximum…
