In many text-processing applications, we would like shapes that expand (or shrink) in size to fit their textual content. We address how to efficiently compute the minimum size fo...
Given a 2-node connected, undirected graph G = (V, E), with n nodes and m edges with real weights, and given a minimum spanning tree (MST) T = (V, ET ) of G, we study the problem o...
Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) is one of the most studied combinatorial problems with practical applications in VLSI layout, wireless communication, and distributed networks, recent ...
A deterministic algorithm for computing a minimum spanning tree of a connected graph is presented. Its running time is O(m (m, n)), where is the classical functional inverse of Ack...
Given a set P of n points in the plane, we wish to find a set Q P of k points for which the convex hull conv(Q) has the minimum area. We solve this, and the related problem of fi...
