Abstract—This work addresses the computational complexity of achieving the capacity of a general network coding instance. We focus on the linear capacity, namely the capacity of ...
A new framework is presented that uses tools from duality theory of linear programming to derive graph-cut based combinatorial algorithms for approximating NP-hard classification ...
For a connected graph G, let L(G) denote the maximum number of leaves in a spanning tree in G. The problem of computing L(G) is known to be NP-hard even for cubic graphs. We improv...
We present a systematic study of approximation algorithms for the maximum weight matching problem. This includes a new algorithm which provides the simple greedy method with a rece...
In the minimum-cost k-hop spanning tree (k-hop MST) problem, we are given a set S of n points in a metric space, a positive small integer k and a root point r ∈ S. We are intere...
