Approximating rooted Steiner networks
The Directed Steiner Tree (DST) problem is a cornerstone problem in network design. We focus on the generalization of the problem with higher connectivity requirements. The proble...

Low-power gated bus synthesis for 3d ic via rectilinear shortest-path steiner graph
In this paper, we propose a new approach for gated bus synthesis [16] with minimum wire capacitance per transaction in three-dimensional (3D) ICs. The 3D IC technology connects di...

Improved Approximation for the Directed Spanner Problem
We present an O( √ n log n)-approximation algorithm for the problem of finding the sparsest spanner of a given directed graph G on n vertices. A spanner of a graph is a sparse ...

Steiner Transitive-Closure Spanners of Low-Dimensional Posets
Given a directed graph G = (V, E) and an integer k ≥ 1, a Steiner k-transitive-closure-spanner (Steiner k-TC-spanner) of G is a directed graph H = (VH , EH ) such that (1) V ⊆ ...

Concise Integer Linear Programming Formulations for Dependency Parsing
We formulate the problem of nonprojective dependency parsing as a polynomial-sized integer linear program. Our formulation is able to handle non-local output features in an effici...

On the integrality ratio for tree augmentation
We show that the standard linear programming relaxation for the tree augmentation problem in undirected graphs has an integrality ratio that approaches 3 2 . This refutes a conjec...
