Optimum Branching Problem Revisited
Maxim A. Babenko, Pavel V. Nalivaiko
Given a digraph , a \emph{branching} in is a set of arcs such that the underlying undirected graph spanned by is acyclic and each node in…
On a Problem Posed by Maurice Nivat
Maxim A. Babenko
Consider a matrix , whose elements are arbitrary integers. Consider, for each square window of size , the sum of the corresponding elements of . Thes…
On Ear Decompositions of Strongly Connected Bidirected Graphs
Maxim A. Babenko
Bidirected graphs (earlier studied by Edmonds, Johnson and, in equivalent terms of skew-symmetric graphs, by Tutte, Goldberg, Karzanov, and others) proved to be a useful unifying l…
Minimum Mean Cycle Problem in Bidirected and Skew-Symmetric Graphs
Maxim A. Babenko, Alexander V. Karzanov
The problem of finding, in an edge-weighted bidirected graph , a cycle with minimum mean weight of its edges generalizes similar problems for both directed and undirected…
