Abstract. The purpose of this paper is (1) to provide a theoretical justification for the use of Monte-Carlo sampling for approximate resolution of NP-hard maximization problems in...
A wireless ad-hoc network is a collection of transceivers positioned in the plane. Each transceiver is equipped with a limited battery charge. The battery charge is then reduced a...
Given a connected, weighted, undirected graph G and a bound D, the bounded-diameter minimum spanning tree problem seeks a spanning tree on G of lowest weight in which no path betw...
In many information networks, data items – such as updates in social networks, news flowing through interconnected RSS feeds and blogs, measurements in sensor networks, route u...
This paper considers two similar graph algorithms that work by repeatedly increasing "flow" along "augmenting paths": the Ford-Fulkerson algorithm for the maxi...
