The problem of routing and wavelength assignment in all-optical networks may be solved by a combined approach involving the computation of alternative routes for the lightpaths, f...
We study the maximum edge-disjoint paths problem in undirected planar graphs: given a graph G and node pairs s1t1, s2t2, . . ., sktk, the goal is to maximize the number of pairs t...

We consider the problem of connecting given vertex pairs over a stochastic metric graph, each vertex of which has a probability of presence independently of all other ver
Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) has been successfully applied to those combinatorial optimization problems which can be translated into a graph exploration. Artificial ants build s...
Abstract. We model a problem proposed by Alcatel, a satellite building company, using improper colourings of graphs. The relation between improper colourings and maximum average de...
