—The current best-effort Internet does not guarantee the bandwidth availability between a receiver and a sender, and so renders any quality-of-service (QoS) control difficult, if...
Tree contraction algorithms, whose idea was first proposed by Miller and Reif, are important parallel algorithms to implement efficient parallel programs manipulating trees. Desp...
We study the Steiner Tree problem in the model of two-stage stochastic optimization with non-uniform inflation factors, and give a poly-logarithmic approximation factor for this pr...
