We give a graph decomposition technique that creates entirely independent subproblems for graph problems such as coloring and dominating sets that can be solved without synchroniz...
We define the decision problem data arrangement, which involves arranging the vertices of a graph G at the leaves of a d-ary tree so that a weighted sum of the distances between p...
Given a polygonal curve and a geometric graph, we describe an efficient algorithm to find a path in the graph which is most similar to the curve, using the well-known Fr´echet d...

Motivated by applications in batch scheduling of jobs in manufacturing systems and distributed computing, we study two related problems. Given is a set of jobs {J1, . . . , Jn}, w...
We establish several approximate max-integral-flow / minmulticut theorems. While in general this ratio can be very large, we prove strong approximation ratios in the case where th...
