Improved Massively Parallel Computation Algorithms for MIS, Matching, and Vertex Cover

Slobodan Mitrovic, Mohsen Ghaffari

We present O(log log n)-round algorithms in the Massively Parallel Computation (MPC) model, with a(n) memory per machine, that compute a maximal independent set, a 1 + epsilon approximation of maximum matching, and a 2 + epsilon approximation of minimum ve ...

On Simplices in Diameter Graphs in R-4

Andrei Kupavskii

A graph G is a diameter graph in R-d if its vertex set is a finite subset in R-d of diameter 1 and edges join pairs of vertices a unit distance apart. It is shown that if a diameter graph G in R-4 contains the complete subgraph K on five vertices, then any ...

New Moduli For Banach Spaces

Grigory Ivanov

Modifying the moduli of supporting convexity and supporting smoothness, we introduce new moduli for Banach spaces which occur, for example, as lengths of catheti of right-angled triangles (defined via so-called quasiorthogonality). These triangles have two ...

Exponential extinction time of the contact process on finite graphs

Thomas Mountford, Daniel Rodrigues Valesin, Jean-Christophe Mourrat

We study the extinction time tau of the contact process started with full occupancy on finite trees of bounded degree. We show that, if the infection rate is larger than the critical rate for the contact process on Z, then, uniformly over all trees of degr ...

Removing and Adding Edges for the Traveling Salesman Problem

Ola Nils Anders Svensson

We present a framework for approximating the metric TSP based on a novel use of matchings. Traditionally, matchings have been used to add edges to make a given graph Eulerian, whereas our approach also allows for the removal of certain edges leading to a d ...

Partial Recovery Bounds for the Sparse Stochastic Block Model

Volkan Cevher, Jonathan Mark Scarlett

In this paper, we study the information-theoretic limits of community detection in the symmetric two-community stochastic block model, with intra-community and inter-community edge probabilities

Node-weighted network design and maximum sub-determinants

Carsten Moldenhauer

We consider the Node-weighted Steiner Forest problem on planar graphs. Demaine et al. showed that a generic primal-dual algorithm gives a 6-approximation. We present two different proofs of an approximation factor of~

Stability Results For The Volume Of Random Simplices

Gergely Ambrus

It is known that for a convex body K in R-d of volume one, the expected volume of random simplices in K is minimized if K is an ellipsoid, and for d = 2, maximized if K is a triangle. Here we provide corresponding stability estimates. ...

Overview of New Approaches for Approximating TSP

Ola Nils Anders Svensson

n this extended abstract, we survey some of the recent results on approximating the traveling salesman problem on graphic metrics. We start by briefly explaining the algorithm of Oveis Gharan et al. [1] that has strong similarities to Christofides’ famo ...

On the Performance of Percolation Graph Matching

Matthias Grossglauser, Lyudmila Yartseva

Graph matching is a generalization of the classic graph isomorphism problem. By using only their structures a graph-matching algorithm finds a map between the vertex sets of two similar graphs. This has applications in the de-anonymization of social and in ...
