A chain of a set P of n points in the plane is a chain of the dominance order on P. A k-chain is a subset C of P that can be covered by k chains. A k-chain C is a maximum k-chain ...
Polynomial time preprocessing to reduce instance size is one of the most commonly deployed heuristics to tackle computationally hard problems. In a parameterized problem, every in...

A connected dominating set (CDS) for a graph G(V, E) is a subset V of V , such that each node in V - V is adjacent to some node in V , and V induces a connected subgraph. A CDS ha...
This paper addresses the problem of scatternet formation and maintenance for multi-hop Bluetooth based personal area and ad hoc networks with minimal communication overhead. Each ...
We consider the problem of finding a k-edge transversal set that covers all (simple) cycles of length at most s in a planar graph, where s ≥ 3 is a constant. This problem, refe...
