Ph.D. Dissertation

  1. "Partitioning a Graph in Alliances and its Application to Data Clustering," School of Computer Science, University of Central Florida, Orlando, FL, 2004. (Note: Proof for NP-Completeness of “Partition into Global Defensive Alliances” [Theorem 59, p. 64] is misprinted in the original version. The corrected proof is available here. Thanks to Zsolt Tuza for pointing out the error.)
