A Bayesian Method for Matching Two Similar Graphs without Seeds

Matthias Grossglauser, Pedram Pedarsani

Approximate graph matching (AGM) refers to the problem of mapping the vertices of two structurally similar graphs, which has applications in social networks, computer vision, chemistry, and biology. Given its computational cost, AGM has mostly been limited ...

Large simplices determined by finite point sets

János Pach, Filip Moric

Given a set P of n points in ℝd, let d1 > d2 >...denote all distinct inter-point distances generated by point pairs in P. It was shown by Schur, Martini, Perles, and Kupitz that there is at most oned-dimensional regular simplex of edge length d1 whos ...

Complexity of the critical node problem over trees

Marco Di Summa

In this paper we deal with the critical node problem (CNP), i.e., the problem of searching for a given number K of nodes in a graph G, whose removal minimizes the (weighted or unweighted) number of connections between pairs of nodes in the residual graph. ...

Vector Network Coding

Christina Fragouli, Javad Ebrahimi Boroojeni

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 ...

Approximating Linear Threshold Predicates

Ola Nils Anders Svensson, Mahdi Cheraghchi Bashi Astaneh

We study constraint satisfaction problems on the domain {-1,1}, where the given constraints are homogeneous linear threshold predicates. That is, predicates of the form sgn(w_1 x_1 + ... + w_n x_n) for some positive integer weights w_1, ..., w_n. Despite t ...

Graph coloring with cardinality constraints on the neighborhoods

Dominique de Werra, Bernard Ries

Extensions and variations of the basic problem of graph coloring are introduced. The problem consists essentially in finding in a graph G a k-coloring, i.e., a partition V-1,...,V-k of the vertex set of G such that, for some specified neighborhood (N) over ...

Weighted coloring on planar, bipartite and split graphs: Complexity and approximation

Dominique de Werra

We study complexity and approximation of MIN WEIGHTED NODE COLORING in planar, bipartite and split graphs. We show that this problem is NP-hard in planar graphs, even if they are triangle-free and their maximum degree is bounded above by 4. Then, we prove ...

Blockers and transversals

Dominique de Werra, Bernard Ries, Rico Zenklusen

Given an undirected graph G = (V, E) with matching number v(G), we define d-blockers as subsets of edges B such that nu((V, E \ B)) = d. ...

On the inapproximability of independent domination in 2P3-free perfect graphs

Dominique de Werra

We consider the complexity of approximation for the INDEPENDENT DOMINATING SET problem in 2P(3)-free graphs, i.e., graphs that do not contain two disjoint copies of the chordless path on three vertices as all induced subgraph. We show that, if P not equal ...
