A straight-line drawing of a graph G is a mapping which assigns to each vertex a point in the plane and to each edge a straight-line segment connecting the corresponding two points. The rectilinear crossing number of a graph G, (cr) over bar (G), is the mi ...
A fundamental problem in signal processing is to design computationally efficient algorithms to filter signals. In many applications, the signals to filter lie on a sphere. Meaningful examples of data of this kind are weather data on the Earth, or images o ...
We design a generic method to reduce the task of finding weighted matchings to that of finding short augmenting paths in unweighted graphs. This method enables us to provide efficient implementations for approximating weighted matchings in the massively pa ...
Knapsack problems give a simple framework for decision making. A classical example is the min-knapsack problem (MinKnap): choose a subset of items with minimum total cost, whose total profit is above a given threshold. While this model successfully general ...
The vertex set of the Kneser graph K(n, k) is V = (([n])(k)) and two vertices are adjacent if the corresponding sets are disjoint. For any graph F, the largest size of a vertex set U subset of V such that K(n, k)[U] is F-free, was recently determined by Al ...
Vizing's celebrated theorem asserts that any graph of maximum degree Delta admits an edge coloring using at most Delta + 1 colors. In contrast, Bar-Noy, Motwani and Naor showed over a quarter century ago that the trivial greedy algorithm, which uses 2 Delt ...
This paper is devoted to the distributed complexity of finding an approximation of the maximum cut in graphs. A classical algorithm consists in letting each vertex choose its side of the cut uniformly at random. This does not require any communication and ...
A sparsifier of a graph G (Bencztir and Karger; Spielman and Teng) is a sparse weighted subgraph (G) over tilde that approximately retains the same cut structure of G. For general graphs, non-trivial sparsification is possible only by using weighted graphs ...
An ordered graph H is a simple graph with a linear order on its vertex set. The corresponding Turan problem, first studied by Pach and Tardos, asks for the maximum number ex(
Graphs are extensively used to represent networked data. In many applications, especially when considering large datasets, it is a desirable feature to focus the analysis onto specific subgraphs of interest. Slepian theory and its extension to graphs allow ...
