We present a factors 4/3 approximation algorithm for the problem of finding a minimum 2-edge connected spanning subgraph of a given undirected multigraph. The algorithm is based upon a reduction to a restricted class of graphs. In these graphs, the approxi ...
We consider the variation of Ramsey numbers introduced by Erdos and Pach [J. Graph Theory, 7 (1983), pp. 137-147], where instead of seeking complete or independent sets we only seek a t-homogeneous set, a vertex subset that induces a subgraph of minimum de ...
We present O(log log n)-round algorithms in the Massively Parallel Computation (MPC) model, with a(n) memory per machine, that compute a maximal independent set, a 1 + epsilon approximation of maximum matching, and a 2 + epsilon approximation of minimum ve ...
We present an efficient matching method for generalized geometric graphs. Such graphs consist of vertices in space connected by curves and can represent many real world structures such as road networks in remote sensing, or vessel networks in medical imagi ...
With the rising importance of large-scale network control, the problem of actuator placement has received increasing attention. Our goal in this paper is to find a set of actuators minimizing the metric that measures the average energy consumption of the c ...
This paper examines the learning mechanism of adaptive agents over weakly connected graphs and reveals an interesting behavior on how information flows through such topologies. The results clarify how asymmetries in the exchange of data can mask local info ...
In this paper, we study the information-theoretic limits of community detection in the symmetric two-community stochastic block model, with intra-community and inter-community edge probabilities na and nb respectively. We consider the ...
Given a graph F, a hypergraph is a Berge-F if it can be obtained by expanding each edge in F to a hyperedge containing it. A hypergraph H is Berge-F-saturated if H does not contain a subhypergraph that is a Berge-F, but for any edge e is an element of E((H ...
The secretary problem became one of the most prominent online selection problems due to its numerous applications in online mechanism design. The task is to select a maximum weight subset of elements subject to given constraints, where elements arrive one- ...
A Kneser graph KG(n,k) is a graph whose vertices are in oneto-one correspondence with k -element subsets of [n], with two vertices connected if and only if the corresponding sets do not intersect. A famous result due to Lowisz states that the chromatic num ...
