Piercing Translates and Homothets of a Convex Body
According to a classical result of Gr¨unbaum, the transversal number τ(F) of any family F of pairwise-intersecting translates or homothets of a convex body C in Rd is bounded by...

Exact and Approximate Equilibria for Optimal Group Network Formation
We consider a process called Group Network Formation Game, which represents the scenario when strategic agents are building a network together. In our game, agents can have extrem...

Bounded Budget Betweenness Centrality Game for Strategic Network Formations
In this paper, we introduce the bounded budget betweenness centrality game, a strategic network formation game in which nodes build connections subject to a budget constraint in or...

Short Labels for Lowest Common Ancestors in Trees
We evaluate the practical performance of labeling schemes for lowest common ancestors in trees. We develop different variants for encoding the labels. We then perform a thorough e...

Minimizing Movement: Fixed-Parameter Tractability
Abstract. We study an extensive class of movement minimization problems which arise from many practical scenarios but so far have little theoretical study. In general, these proble...

Output-Sensitive Algorithms for Enumerating Minimal Transversals for Some Geometric Hypergraphs
We give a general framework for the problem of finding all minimal hitting sets of a family of objects in Rd by another. We apply this framework to the following problems: (i) hit...
