Given a planar graph on n nodes with costs weights on its edges, de ne the distance between nodes i and j as the length of the shortest path between i and j. Consider this as an i...

—Connected dominating set (CDS) has been proposed as virtual backbone or spine of wireless ad hoc networks. Three distributed approximation algorithms have been proposed in the l...
Let G = (V, E) be an weighted undirected graph on n vertices and m edges, and let dG be its shortest path metric. We present two simple deterministic algorithms for approximating ...
We give near-tight bounds for estimating the edit distance between two non-repetitive strings (Ulam distance) with constant approximation, in sub-linear time. For two strings of l...
The data migration problem is to compute an efficient plan for moving data stored on devices in a network from one configuration to another. It is modeled by a transfer graph, wher...
