Computing maximum valued regions

We consider the problem of finding optimum connected configurations in the plane and in undirected graphs. First, we show that a special case concerning rectilinear grids in the plane and arising in oil business is NPcomplete, and we present a fast approximation algorithm for it. Secondly, we identi...

Description
Summary:We consider the problem of finding optimum connected configurations in the plane and in undirected graphs. First, we show that a special case concerning rectilinear grids in the plane and arising in oil business is NPcomplete, and we present a fast approximation algorithm for it. Secondly, we identify a number of polynomial time solvable special cases for the corresponding problem in graphs. The special cases include trees, interval graphs, cographs and split graphs.
