Minimum Cuts in Near-Linear Time
We significantly improve known time bounds for solving the minimum cut problem on undirected graphs. We use a "semiduality" between minimum cuts and maximum spanning tree...

Improved bounds on sorting by length-weighted reversals
We study the problem of sorting binary sequences and permutations by length-weighted reversals. We consider a wide class of cost functions, namely f( ) = for all 0, where is the...
