In this article, we propose a random walk-based model to predict legislators’ votes on a set of bills. In particular, we first convert roll call data, i.e. the recorded votes a...
Let G = (V, E, w) be a directed graph, where w : V → R is an arbitrary weight function defined on its vertices. The bottleneck weight, or the capacity, of a path is the smalles...
Abstract. We show that the partitions of an n-element set into k members of a given set family can be counted in time O((2− )n ), where > 0 depends only on the maximum size am...
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 problem of finding a minimum diameter spanning tree with maximum node degree B in a complete undirected edge-weighted graph. We provide an O( p logB n)-approximatio...
