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...
— The advances in wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) technology are expected to facilitate bandwidth-intensive multicast applications. A single fiber failure in such a netwo...
To minimize the number of wavelengths required by a multicast session in sparse light splitting Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) networks, a light-hierarchy structure, which ...
We consider the problem of identifying a team of skilled individuals for collaboration, in the presence of a social network. Each node in the input social network may be an expert...
We study the Steiner Tree problem in the model of two-stage stochastic optimization with non-uniform inflation factors, and give a poly-logarithmic approximation factor for this pr...
