Abstract—Many next-generation Internet architectures propose advanced packet processing functions in the data path of the network. Such “services” are typically performed on ...
Abstract. Classical network flow theory allows decomposition of flow into several chunks of arbitrary sizes traveling through the network on different paths. In the first part ...
? We give a new recursive rounding linear programming (LP) solution to the problem of N-detect test minimzation. This is a polynomialtime solution that closely approximates the exa...
We define an algorithmic paradigm, the stack model, that captures many primal-dual and local-ratio algorithms for approximating covering and packing problems. The stack model is ...
Let T = (V, E) be an undirected tree, in which each edge is associated with a non-negative cost, and let {s1, t1}, . . . , {sk, tk} be a collection of k distinct pairs of vertices...
