Abstract--Chow and Liu considered the problem of approximating discrete joint distributions with dependence tree distributions where the goodness of the approximations were measure...

In thispaper we give a 3-approximationalgorithmfor the problem ojJnding a minimum tree spanning any k-vertices in a graph. Our algorithm extends to a 3-approximationalgorithmfor t...
Abstract. The Steiner tree problem is to find a shortest subgraph that spans a given set of vertices in a graph. This problem is known to be NP-hard and it is well known that a pol...
We consider the practical NP-complete problem of finding a minimum weight spanning tree with both edge weights and inner nodes weights. We present two polynomial time algorithms ...

This paper investigates, for the first time in the literature, the approximation of min-max (regret) versions of classical problems like shortest path, minimum spanning tree, and ...
