This thesis focuses on the maximum matching problem in modern computational settings where the algorithms have to make decisions with partial information.First, we consider two stochastic models called query-commit and price-of-information where the algo ...
Let c denote the largest constant such that every C-6-free graph G contains a bipartite and C-4-free subgraph having a fraction c of edges of G. Gyori, Kensell and Tompkins showed that 3/8
This paper initiates the study of the classic balanced graph partitioning problem from an online perspective: Given an arbitrary sequence of pairwise communication requests between n nodes, with patterns that may change over time, the objective is to servi ...
Given a source of iid samples of edges of an input graph G with n vertices and m edges, how many samples does one need to compute a constant factor approximation to the maximum matching size in G? Moreover, is it possible to obtain such an estimate in a sm ...
This paper examines the binning of two types of parts with random characteristics, so that a componentwise monotonic evaluation criterion exhibits a minimum deviation to a given target value over all possible realizations. The optimal matching classes are ...
For a graph F, we say a hypergraph H is a Berge-F if it can be obtained from F by replacing each edge of F with a hyperedge containing it. We say a hypergraph is Berge-F-saturated if it does not contain a Berge-F, but adding any hyperedge creates a copy of ...
We introduce the analog of Kramers-Kronig dispersion relations for correlators of four scalar operators in an arbitrary conformal field theory. The correlator is expressed as an integral over its "absorptive part", defined as a double discontinuity, times ...
Given a graph F, a hypergraph is a Berge-F if it can be obtained by expanding each edge in F to a hyperedge containing it. A hypergraph H is Berge-F-saturated if H does not contain a subhypergraph that is a Berge-F, but for any edge e is an element of E((H ...
