This paper addresses the following questions for a given tree T and integer d 2: (1) What is the minimum number of degree-d subtrees that partition E(T)? (2) What is the minimum n...
For a graph property P, the edit distance of a graph G from P, denoted EP (G), is the minimum number of edge modifications (additions or deletions) one needs to apply to G in orde...
ABSTRACT. The maximum independent set problem (MAXIS) on general graphs is known to be NPhard to approximate within a factor of n1-, for any > 0. However, there are many "...

We present the Buffer Heap (BH), a cache-oblivious priority queue that supports Delete-Min, Delete, and Decrease-Key operations in O( 1 B log2 N B ) amortized block transfers fro...
Existing work on programmable self assembly has focused on deterministic performance guarantees--stability of desirable states. In particular, for any acyclic target graph a binary...
