ON THE INDEPENDENCE NUMBER OF INTERSECTION GRAPHS OF AXIS-PARALLEL SEGMENTS

We prove that for any triangle-free intersection graph of n axis-parallel line segments in the plane, the independence number alpha of this graph is at least alpha n/4+ohm(root n). We complement this with a construction of a graph in this class satisfying ...

Results on Sparse Integer Programming and Geometric Independent Sets

Jana Tabea Cslovjecsek

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 ...

Random walks and forbidden minors III: poly(d epsilon(-1))-time partition oracles for minor-free graph classes

Akash Kumar

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 ...

Sublinear Algorithms for Spectral Graph Clustering

Aidasadat Mousavifar

This thesis focuses on designing spectral tools for graph clustering in sublinear time. With the emergence of big data, many traditional polynomial time, and even linear time algorithms have become prohibitively expensive. Processing modern datasets requir ...

Manycore clique enumeration with fast set intersections

Paolo Ienne, Radu Ioan Stoica, Kubilay Atasu, Jovan Blanusa

Listing all maximal cliques of a given graph has important applications in the analysis of social and biological networks. Parallelisation of maximal clique enumeration (MCE) algorithms on modern manycore processors is challenging due to the task-level par ...

Time-resolved analysis of dynamic graphs: an extended Slepian design

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Raphaël Pierre Liégeois

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 ...

Weighted Matchings via Unweighted Augmentations

Ola Nils Anders Svensson, Slobodan Mitrovic, Buddhima Ruwanmini Gamlath Gamlath Ralalage, Sagar Sudhir Kale

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 ...

New Graph Algorithms via Polyhedral Techniques

Jakub Tarnawski

In this thesis we give new algorithms for two fundamental graph problems. We develop novel ways of using linear programming formulations, even exponential-sized ones, to extract structure from problem instances and to guide algorithms in making progress. S ...

Finding Perfect Matchings in Bipartite Hypergraphs

Chidambaram Annamalai

Haxell's condition [14] is a natural hypergraph analog of Hall's condition, which is a well-known necessary and sufficient condition for a bipartite graph to admit a perfect matching. That is, when Haxell's condition holds it forces the existence of a perf ...

The gene family-free median of three

Background: The gene family-free framework for comparative genomics aims at providing methods for gene order analysis that do not require prior gene family assignment, but work directly on a sequence similarity graph. We study two problems related to the b ...

Removing and Adding Edges for the Traveling Salesman Problem

Ola Nils Anders Svensson

We present a framework for approximating the metric TSP based on a novel use of matchings. Traditionally, matchings have been used to add edges to make a given graph Eulerian, whereas our approach also allows for the removal of certain edges leading to a d ...

Saturated simple and k-simple topological graphs

János Pach, Jan Kyncl

A simple topological graph G is a graph drawn in the plane so that any pair of edges have at most one point in common, which is either an endpoint or a proper crossing. G is called saturated if no further edge can be added without violating this condition. ...

Free Edge Lengths in Plane Graphs

Radoslav Fulek, Filip Moric

We study the impact of metric constraints on the realizability of planar graphs. Let G be a subgraph of a planar graph H (where H is the "host" of G). The graph G is free in H if for every choice of positive lengths for the edges of G, the host H has a pla ...

Solving the Weighted Stable Set Problem in Claw-Free Graphs via Decomposition

Yuri Faenza, Gautier Stauffer

We propose an algorithm for solving the maximum weighted stable set problem on claw-free graphs that runs in O(vertical bar V vertical bar (vertical bar E vertical bar+vertical bar V vertical bar log vertical bar V vertical bar))-time, drastically improvin ...

Coloring Relatives of Interval Overlap Graphs via On-line Games

Bartosz Maria Walczak

The main goal of this paper is to formalize and explore a connection between chromatic properties of graphs defined by geometric representations and competitivity analysis of on-line algorithms. This connection became apparent after the recent construction ...

Triangle-free intersection graphs of line segments with large chromatic number

Bartosz Maria Walczak, Michal Lason

In the 1970s Erdos asked whether the chromatic number of intersection graphs of line segments in the plane is bounded by a function of their clique number. We show the answer is no. Specifically, for each positive integer k we construct a triangle-free fam ...

Triangle-Free Geometric Intersection Graphs with Large Chromatic Number

Bartosz Maria Walczak, Michal Lason

Several classical constructions illustrate the fact that the chromatic number of a graph may be arbitrarily large compared to its clique number. However, until very recently no such construction was known for intersection graphs of geometric objects in the ...

Coloring fuzzy circular interval graphs

Friedrich Eisenbrand, Martin Niemeier

Given a graph G with nonnegative node labels w, a multiset of stable sets S_1,...,S_k\subseteq V(G) such that each vertex v \in V(G) is contained in w(v) many of these stable sets is called a weighted coloring. The weighted coloring number \chi_w(G) is the ...

The intersection graph of a collection C of sets is the graph on the vertex set C, in which C-1 . C-2 is an element of C are joined by an edge if and only if C-1 boolean AND C-2 not equal empty set. Erdos conjectured that the chromatic number of triangle-f ...

Intersection Patterns of Edges in Topological Graphs

This thesis is devoted to crossing patterns of edges in topological graphs. We consider the following four problems: A thrackle is a graph drawn in the plane such that every pair of edges meet exactly once: either at a common endpoint or in a proper crossi ...
