Covering minimum spanning trees of random subgraphs
We consider the problem of finding a sparse set of edges containing the minimum spanning tree (MST) of a random subgraph of G with high probability. The two random models that we ...

NC Algorithms for the Single Most Vital Edge Problem with Respect to All Pairs Shortest Paths
For a weighted, undirected graph G = V;E where jVj = n and jEj = m, we examine the single most vital edge with respect to two measurements related to all-pairs shortest paths APSP....
