Many divide-and-conquer algorithms employ the fact that the vertex set of a graph of bounded treewidth can be separated in two roughly balanced subsets by removing a small subset o...

In this paper, we give the rst constant-factor approximationalgorithmfor the rooted Orienteering problem, as well as a new problem that we call the Discounted-Reward TSP, motivate...

Consider a setting in which a group of nodes, situated in a large underlying network, wishes to reserve bandwidth on which to support communication. Virtual private networks (VPNs...

This paper endeavors to present a scheme to detect and estimate bottleneck bandwidth along the path in the Internet. We have participated in the RIPE NCC’s TTM project to perfor...
We consider the following vertex coloring problem. We are given an undirected graph G = (V, E), where each vertex v is associated with a penalty rejection cost rv. We need to choos...
