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...
We consider the minimum cost spanning tree problem under the restriction that all degrees must be at most a given value k. We show that we can efficiently find a spanning tree o...
The coding by which chromosomes represent candidate solutions is a fundamental design choice in a genetic algorithm. This paper describes a novel coding of spanning trees in a gen...
Among the many codings of spanning trees for evolutionary search are those based on bijections between Pr¨ufer strings—strings of n−2 vertex labels—and spanning trees on th...
In this paper, we study the minimum spanning tree problem for vertex-labeled graphs, where the weights of edges may vary depending on the selection of labels of vertices at both e...
