چکیده

One wishes to remove k − 1 edges of a vertex-weighted tree T such that the weights of the k induced connected components are approximately the same. How well can one do it ? In this paper, we investigate such k-separator for quasi-binary trees. We show that, under certain conditions on the total weight of the tree, a particular k-separator can be constructed such that the smallest (respectively the largest) weighted component is lower (respectively upper) bounded. Examples showing optimality for the lower bound are also given.

A New Heuristic Algorithm for Drawing Binary Trees within Arbitrary Polygons Based on Center of Gravity

Graphs have enormous usage in software engineering, network and electrical engineering. In fact graphs drawing is a geometrically representation of information. Among graphs, trees are concentrated because of their ability in hierarchical extension as well as processing VLSI circuit. Many algorithms have been proposed for drawing binary trees within polygons. However these algorithms generate b...

Constructive Links between Some Morphological Hierarchies on Edge-Weighted Graphs

In edge-weighted graphs, we provide a unified presentation of a family of popular morphological hierarchies such as component trees, quasi flat zones, binary partition trees, and hierarchical watersheds. For any hierarchy of this family, we show if (and how) it can be obtained from any other element of the family. In this sense, the main contribution of this paper is the study of all constructi...

Beyond Outerplanarity

We study straight-line drawings of graphs where the vertices are placed in convex position in the plane, i.e., convex drawings. We consider two families of graph classes with nice convex drawings: outer k-planar graphs, where each edge is crossed by at most k other edges; and, outer k-quasi-planar graphs where no k edges can mutually cross. We show that the outer k-planar graphs are (b √ 4k + 1...

Playing with Kruskal: Algorithms for Morphological Trees in Edge-Weighted Graphs

The goal of this paper is to provide linear or quasi-linear algorithms for producing some of the various trees used in mathemetical morphology, in particular the trees corresponding to hierarchies of watershed cuts and hierarchies of constrained connectivity. A specific binary tree, corresponding to an ordered version of the edges of the minimum spanning tree, is the key structure in this study...

CS 268 : Geometric Algorithms

Given a polygonal subdivision of the plane and some query point, we would like to know which region (or edge or vertex) contains it. In one dimension, the problem reduces to locating a query point in a subdivision of the line into intervals, and is easily solved by binary search. We will look for a method to extend the idea of binary search into two dimensions. Given a subdivision with m edges,...
