In the highway problem, we are given an n-edge line graph (the highway), and a set of paths (the drivers), each one with its own budget. For a given assignment of edge weights (the tolls), the highway owner collects from each driver the weight of the assoc ...
We present a framework for approximating the metric TSP based on a novel use of matchings. Traditionally, matchings have been used to add edges in order to make a given graph Eulerian, whereas our approach also allows for the removal of certain edges leadi ...
We develop new algebraic algorithms for scalar and vector network coding. In vector network coding, the source multicasts information by transmitting vectors of length L, while intermediate nodes process and combine their incoming packets by multiplying th ...

This paper introduces the connection-graph-stability method and uses it to establish a new lower bound on the algebraic connectivity of graphs (the second smallest eigenvalue of the Laplacian matrix of the graph) that is sharper than the previously publish ...
Multiscale representations such as the wavelet transform are useful for many signal processing tasks. Graphs are flexible models to represent complex networks and a spectral graph wavelet transform (SGWT) has recently been developed as a generalization of ...

Two subsets of vertices in a graph are called homometric if the multisets of distances determined by them are the same. Let h(n) denote the largest number h such that any connected graph of n vertices contains two disjoint homometric subsets of size h. It ...
Artificial neural networks, electronic circuits, and gene networks are some examples of systems that can be modeled as networks, that is, as collections of interconnected nodes. In this paper we introduce the concept of terminal graph (t-graph for short), w ...
In a drawing of a graph, two edges form an odd pair if they cross each other an odd number of times. A pair of edges is independent if they share no endpoint. For a graph G, let ocr(G) be the smallest number of odd pairs in a drawing of G and let iocr(G) b ...
In this thesis, we try to treat the problem of oriented paths in n-chromatic digraphs. We first treat the case of antidirected paths in 5-chromatic digraphs, where we explain El-Sahili’s theorem and provide an elementary and shorter proof of it. We then tr ...
We present the AMIDA 2009 system for participation in the NIST RT’2009 STT evaluations. Systems for close-talking, far field and speaker attributed STT conditions are described. Im- provements to our previous systems are: segmentation and diar- isation; st ...
