Algorithms - ESA 2001

This book contains the proceedings of the 9th Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2001), held in Århus, Denmark, in August 2001. The 9th Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2001), held in Århus, Denmark, in August 2001, brought together leading researchers from all over Europe, as well as from the United States and Asia, to present and discuss recent advances in algorithms and algorithmic methods, their mathematical foundation, and their applications in various fields of computer science and engineering. This volume contains the papers presented at the symposium. Topics covered include approximation algorithms, computational geometry, combinatorial optimization, graph algorithms, data structures, online algorithms, computational complexity, and distributed algorithms, as well as applications of algorithmics in areas such as computer networks, databases, bioinformatics, and robotics. This book is an invaluable resource for researchers and graduate students working in the field of algorithms.
