A minimum spanning tree (MST) with a small diameter is required in numerous practical situations. It is needed, for example, in distributed mutual exclusion algorithms in order to ...
Abstract. Two difficulties in designing data-centric routes [2–5] in wireless sensor networks are the lack of reasonably practical data aggregation models and the high computatio...
We explore the average-case “Vickrey” cost of structures in a random setting: the Vickrey cost of a shortest path in a complete graph or digraph with random edge weights; the V...
We give a 7.18-approximation algorithm for the minimum latency problem that uses only O(n log n) calls to the prize-collecting Steiner tree (PCST) subroutine of Goemans and Willia...
We study the merging process when Kruskal's algorithm is run with random graphs as inputs. Our aim is to analyze this process when the underlying graph is the complete graph ...
