On the Page Number of Upward Planar Directed Acyclic Graphs

Radoslav Fulek, Fabrizio Frati, Andres Jacinto Ruiz Vargas

In this paper we study the page number of upward planar directed acyclic graphs. We prove that: (I) the page number of any n-vertex upward planar triangulation G whose every maximal 4-connected component has page number k is at most min {O(k log n), O(2(k) ...

Optimizing Mixing in Pervasive Networks: A Graph-Theoretic Perspective

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Murtuza Jadliwala, Igor Bilogrevic

One major concern in pervasive wireless applications is location privacy, where malicious eavesdroppers, based on static device identifiers, can continuously track users. As a commonly adopted countermeasure to prevent such identifier-based tracking, devic ...

A bipartite strengthening of the Crossing Lemma

János Pach

Let G = (V, E) be a graph with n vertices and m >= 4n edges drawn in the plane. The celebrated Crossing Lemma states that G has at least Omega(m(3)/n(2)) pairs of crossing edges; or equivalently, there is an edge that crosses Omega(m(2)/n(2)) other edges. ...

Blockers and transversals in some subclasses of bipartite graphs: When caterpillars are dancing on a grid

Dominique de Werra, Bernard Ries

Given an undirected graph G = (V, E) with matching number nu(G), a d-blocker is a subset of edges B such that nu((V, E \ B))

Graph-Constrained Group Testing

Amin Karbasi, Mahdi Cheraghchi Bashi Astaneh, Soheil Mohajerzefreh

Non-adaptive group testing involves grouping arbitrary subsets of

n

items into different pools and identifying defective items based on tests obtained for each pool. Motivated by applications in network tomography, sensor networks and infection propagati ...

Weighted Gossip: Distributed Averaging Using Non-Doubly Stochastic Matrices

Martin Vetterli, Patrick Thiran, Florence Bénézit

This paper presents a general class of gossip-based averaging algorithms, which are inspired from Uniform Gossip [1]. While Uniform Gossip works synchronously on complete graphs, weighted gossip algorithms allow asynchronous rounds and converge on any conn ...

Split-critical and uniquely split-colorable graphs

Dominique de Werra, Bernard Ries, Tinaz Ekim

The split-coloring problem is a generalized vertex coloring problem where we partition the vertices into a minimum number of split graphs. In this paper, we study some notions which are extensively studied for the usual vertex coloring and the cocoloring p ...

Decomposition of Geometric Set Systems and Graphs

We study two decomposition problems in combinatorial geometry. The first part of the thesis deals with the decomposition of multiple coverings of the plane. We say that a planar set is cover-decomposable if there is a constant m such that any m-fold coveri ...

A separator theorem for string graphs and its applications

János Pach

A string graph is the intersection graph of a collection of continuous arcs in the plane. We show that any string graph with in edges can be separated into two parts of roughly equal size by the removal of O(m(3/4)root log m) vertices. This result is then ...

On the power of combinatorial and spectral invariants

We extend the traditional spectral invariants (spectrum and angles) by a stronger polynomial time computable graph invariant based on the angles between projections of standard basis vectors into the eigenspaces (in addition to the usual angles between sta ...
