Partitions and Coverings of Trees by Bounded-Degree Subtrees
This paper addresses the following questions for a given tree T and integer d 2: (1) What is the minimum number of degree-d subtrees that partition E(T)? (2) What is the minimum n...

A PTAS for a Disc Covering Problem Using Width-Bounded Separators
In this paper, we study the following disc covering problem: Given a set of discs of various radii on the plane, find a subset of discs to maximize the area covered by exactly on...

Upper Bounds on the Time and Space Complexity of Optimizing Additively Separable Functions
Abstract. We present upper bounds on the time and space complexity of finding the global optimum of additively separable functions, a class of functions that has been studied exten...
