We prove the first inapproximability bounds to study approximation hardness for a min-max k-tree cover problem and its variants. The problem is to find a set of k trees to cover vertices of a given graph with metric edge weights, so as to minimize the maximum total edge weight of any of the k trees.

This paper introduces a branching time temporal query language called Min-max CTL which is similar in syntax to the popular temporal logic, CTL [Clarke et al., ACM Trans. Program. Lang. Systems 8 (1986) 244]. However unlike CTL, Min-max CTL can express timing queries on a timed model. We show that i
The notion of Ramanujan graph has been extended to not necessarily regular graphs by Y. Greenberg. We construct infinite trees with infinitely many finite quotients, none of which is Ramanujan. We give a sufficient condition for a finite graph to be covered by such a tree.
We consider the problem of partitioning the node set of a graph into p equal sized subsets. The objective is to minimize the maximum length, over these subsets, of a minimum spanning tree. We show that no polynomial algorithm with bounded Ž 2 . error ratio can be given for the problem unless P s NP.
