We develop an algorithm to solve the bottleneck assignment problem (BAP) that is amenable to having computation distributed over a network of agents. This consists of exploring how each component of the algorithm can be distributed, with a focus on one com ...
An integer linear program is a problem of the form max{c^T x : Ax=b, x >= 0, x integer}, where A is in Z^(n x m), b in Z^m, and c in Z^n.Solving an integer linear program is NP-hard in general, but there are several assumptions for which it becomes fixed p ...
Submodular functions are a widely studied topic in theoretical computer science. They have found several applications both theoretical and practical in the fields of economics, combinatorial optimization and machine learning. More recently, there have also ...
Consider the family of bounded degree graphs in any minor-closed family (such as planar graphs). Let d be the degree bound and n be the number of vertices of such a graph. Graphs in these classes have hyperfinite decompositions, where, one removes a small ...
With the increasing prevalence of massive datasets, it becomes important to design algorithmic techniques for dealing with scenarios where the input to be processed does not fit in the memory of a single machine. Many highly successful approaches have emer ...
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 algori ...
Graph sparsification has been studied extensively over the past two decades, culminating in spectral sparsifiers of optimal size (up to constant factors). Spectral hypergraph sparsification is a natural analogue of this problem, for which optimal bounds on ...
Several discrete geometry problems are equivalent to estimating the size of the largest homogeneous sets in graphs that happen to be the union of few comparability graphs. An important observation for such results is that if G is an n-vertex graph that is ...
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 ...
We study different symbolic algorithms to solve two related reconfiguration problems on graphs: the token swapping problem and the permutation routing via matchings problem. Input to both problems is a connected graph with labeled vertices and a token in e ...
