Title
A tree-covering problem arising in integrity of tree-structured data
Abstract
We introduce and solve a problem motivated by integrity verification in third-party data distribution: Given an undirected tree, find a minimum-cardinality set of simple paths that cover all the tree edges and, secondarily, have smallest total path lengths. We give a linear time algorithm for this problem.
