A sparsifier of a graph G (Bencztir and Karger; Spielman and Teng) is a sparse weighted subgraph (G) over tilde that approximately retains the same cut structure of G. For general graphs, non-trivial sparsification is possible only by using weighted graphs ...
The main goal of this paper is to formalize and explore a connection between chromatic properties of graphs defined by geometric representations and competitivity analysis of on-line algorithms. This connection became apparent after the recent construction ...
Graphs are now ubiquitous in almost every field of research. Recently, new research areas devoted to the analysis of graphs and data associated to their vertices have emerged. Focusing on dynamical processes, we propose a fast, robust and scalable framewor ...
In this paper, we propose a novel design for network coding vectors that limits the overhead information. Network coding vectors contain information regarding the operations the packets have undergone in the network nodes. They are used at the decoder side ...

Determining the size of a maximum independent set of a graph G, denoted by alpha(G), is an NP-hard problem. Therefore many attempts are made to find upper and lower bounds, or exact values of alpha(G) for special classes of graphs. This paper is aimed towa ...
Given a graph G, an obstacle representation of G is a set of points in the plane representing the vertices of G, together with a set of connected obstacles such that two vertices of G are joined by an edge if and only if the corresponding points can be con ...
We define and study analogs of curve graphs for infinite type surfaces. Our definitions use the geometry of a fixed surface and vertices of our graphs are infinite multicurves which are bounded in both a geometric and a topological sense. We show that the ...
Polygonal objects are prevalent in man-made scenes. Early approaches to detecting them relied mainly on geometry while subsequent ones also incorporated appearance-based cues. It has recently been shown that this could be done fast by searching for cycles ...
In this note we present a method to compute approximate descriptions of a class of stochastic systems. For the method to apply, the system must be presented as a Markov chain on a state space consisting in graphs or graph-like objects, and jumps must be de ...
We consider graphs that admit polyline drawings where all crossings occur at the same angle alpha is an element of (0, pi/2]. We prove that every graph on n vertices that admits such a polyline drawing with at most two bends per edge has O(n) edges. This r ...
