Approximating discrete probability distributions with causal dependence trees
Abstract--Chow and Liu considered the problem of approximating discrete joint distributions with dependence tree distributions where the goodness of the approximations were measure...

When crossings count - approximating the minimum spanning tree
We present an (1+ε)-approximation algorithm for computing the minimum-spanning tree of points in a planar arrangement of lines, where the metric is the number of crossings betwee...

Parametric and Kinetic Minimum Spanning Trees
We consider the parametric minimum spanning tree problem, in which we are given a graph with edge weights that are linear functions of a parameter and wish to compute the sequenc...

Analysis of two Sweep-line Algorithms for Constructing Spanning Trees and Steiner Trees
: We give a tight analysis of an old and popular sweep-line heuristic for constructing a spanning tree of a set of n points in the plane. The algorithm sweeps a vertical line acros...

Finding the k Most Vital Edges with Respect to Minimum Spanning Trees for k=2 and 3
Let G(V, E) be a weighted, undirected, connected simple graph with n vertices and m edges. The k most vital edge problem with respect to minimum spanning trees is to find a set S o...
