We describe a simple iterative method for proving a variety of results in combinatorial optimization. It is inspired by Jain’s iterative rounding method (FOCS 1998) for designing...
We show that for every set S of n points in the plane and a designated point rt ∈ S, there exists a tree T that has small maximum degree, depth and weight. Moreover, for every po...
The tree constraint partitions a directed graph into node-disjoint trees. In many practical applications that involve such a partition, there exist side constraints specifying requ...
Abstract--This paper considers a second-order consensus problem for multiagent systems with nonlinear dynamics and directed topologies where each agent is governed by both position...
