We analyze the relations between several graph transformations that were introduced to be used in procedures determining the stability number of a graph. We show that all these transformations can be decomposed into a sequence of edge deletions and twin de ...
A topological graph is k-quasi-planar if it does not contain k pairwise crossing edges. An old conjecture states that for every fixed k, the maximum number of edges in a k-quasi-planar graph on n vertices is O(n). Fox and Pach showed that every k-quasi-pla ...
We live in a world characterized by massive information transfer and real-time communication. The demand for efficient yet low-complexity algorithms is widespread across different fields, including machine learning, signal processing and communications. Mo ...
We settle a problem of Dujmovic, Eppstein, Suderman, and Wood by showing that there exists a function f with the property that every planar graph G with maximum degree d admits a drawing with noncrossing straight-line edges, using at most f(d) different sl ...
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 present a numerical study of the SU(N) Heisenberg model with the fundamental representation at each site for the kagome lattice (for N = 3) and the checkerboard lattice (for N = 4), which are the line graphs of the honeycomb and square lattices and thus ...
Non-adaptive group testing involves grouping arbitrary subsets of n items into different pools. Each pool is then tested and defective items are identified. A fundamental question involves minimizing the number of pools required to identify at most d d ...
In conventional group testing, the goal is to detect a small subset of defecting items D in a large population N by grouping \textit{arbitrary} subset of N into different pools. The result of each group test $\mathcal{T} ...
Reconstructing complex curvilinear structures such as neural circuits, road networks, and blood vessels is a key challenge in many scientific and engineering fields. It has a broad range of applications, from the delineation of micrometer-sized neurons in ...
We propose a method for learning dictionaries towards sparse approximation of signals defined on vertices of arbitrary graphs. Dictionaries are expected to describe effectively the main spatial and spectral components of the signals of interest, so that th ...
