The number of spanning trees in a class of double fixed-step loop networks
In this paper, we develop a method to count the number of spanning trees in certain classes of double fixed-step loop networks with nonconstant steps. More specifically our techni...

A General Approximation Technique for Constrained Forest Problems
We present a general approximation technique for a large class of graph problems. Our technique mostly applies to problems of covering, at minimum cost, the vertices of a graph wit...

Towards an Analysis of Local Optimization Algorithms
We introduce a variant of Aldous and Vazirani's \Go with the winners" algorithm that can be used for search graphs that are not trees. We analyze the algorithm in terms ...

Maximum Entropy Rate of Markov Sources for Systems With Non-regular Constraints
Using the concept of discrete noiseless channels, it was shown by Shannon in A Mathematical Theory of Communication that the ultimate performance of an encoder for a constrained sy...

A 3-approximation for the pathwidth of Halin graphs
We prove that the pathwidth of Halin graphs can be 3-approximated in linear time. Our approximation algorithms is based on a combinatorial result about respectful edge orderings o...
