Better Trees for Santa Claus

Etienne Michel François Bamas, Lars Rohwedder

We revisit the problem max-min degree arborescence, which was introduced by Bateni et al. [STOC'09] as a central special case of the general Santa Claus problem, which constitutes a notorious open question in approximation algorithms. In the former problem ...

Space-Efficient Representations of Graphs

Jakab Tardos

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 ...

Faster Monotone Min-Plus Product, Range Mode, and Single Source Replacement Paths

Adam Teodor Polak

One of the most basic graph problems, All-Pairs Shortest Paths (APSP) is known to be solvable in n^{3-o(1)} time, and it is widely open whether it has an O(n^{3-ε}) time algorithm for ε > 0. To better understand APSP, one often strives to obtain subcubic t ...

Metric dimension of critical Galton–Watson trees and linear preferential attachment trees

Gergely Odor

The metric dimension of a graph G is the minimal size of a subset R of vertices of G that, upon reporting their graph distance from a distinguished (source) vertex v⋆, enable unique identification of the source vertex v⋆ among all possible vertices of G. I ...

Revisiting Explicit Enumeration for Exact Synthesis

Heinz Riener

The problem of generating a minimal implementation of a given Boolean function is called exact synthesis. The parameter to be minimized is often the total number of gates used for the implementation. The exact synthesis engine is considered an essential to ...

Improved Ramsey-type results for comparability graphs

Istvan Tomon, Dániel József Korándi

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 ...

Thrackles: An improved upper bound

János Pach, Radoslav Fulek

A thrackle is a graph drawn in the plane so that every pair of its edges meet exactly once: either at a common end vertex or in a proper crossing. We prove that any thrackle of n vertices has at most 1.3984n edges. Quasi-thrackles are defined similarly, ex ...

Approximating the rectilinear crossing number

János Pach

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 4/3-Approximation Algorithm for the Minimum 2-Edge Connected Subgraph Problem

Christoph Hunkenschröder

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 ...

A priori error for unilateral contact problems with Lagrange multipliers and isogeometric analysis

Annalisa Buffa, Pablo Antolin Sanchez, Mathieu Jonathan Fabre

In this paper, we consider unilateral contact problem without friction between a rigid body and deformable one in the framework of isogeometric analysis. We present the theoretical analysis of the mixed problem. For the displacement, we use the pushforward ...

Efficiently Learning Fourier Sparse Set Functions

Andreas Krause, Mikhail Kapralov, Amir Zandieh

Learning set functions is a key challenge arising in many domains, ranging from sketching graphs to black-box optimization with discrete parameters. In this paper we consider the problem of efficiently learning set functions that are defined over a ground ...

Tomography of Large Adaptive Networks under the Dense Latent Regime

Ali H. Sayed, Augusto José Rabelo Almeida Santos

This work examines the problem of graph learning over a diffusion network when measurements can only be gathered from a limited fraction of agents (latent regime). Under this selling, most works in the literature rely on a degree of sparsity to provide gua ...

Improved Massively Parallel Computation Algorithms for MIS, Matching, and Vertex Cover

Slobodan Mitrovic

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 ...

Learning Neural Connectivity from Firing Activity: Scalable Algorithms with Provable Guarantees

Martin Vetterli, Amin Karbasi, Amir Hesam Salavati

The connectivity of a neuronal network has a major effect on its functionality and role. It is generally believed that the complex network structure of the brain provides a physiological basis for information processing. Therefore, identifying the network’ ...

Extension complexity of stable set polytopes of bipartite graphs

Yuri Faenza, Manuel Francesco Aprile

The extension complexity xc(P) of a polytope P is the minimum number of facets of a polytope that affinely projects to P. Let G be a bipartite graph with n vertices, m edges, and no isolated vertices. Let STAB(G) be the convex hull of the stable sets of G. ...

Induced Matchings In Graphs Of Degree At Most 4

Viet Hang Nguyen

For a graph G, let nu(s)(G) be the strong matching number of G. We prove the sharp bound nu(s)(G) >= n(G)/9 for every graph G of maximum degree at most 4 and without isolated vertices that does not contain a certain blown-up 5-cycle as a component. This re ...

Exponential extinction time of the contact process on finite graphs

Thomas Mountford, Jean-Christophe Mourrat, Daniel Rodrigues Valesin

We study the extinction time tau of the contact process started with full occupancy on finite trees of bounded degree. We show that, if the infection rate is larger than the critical rate for the contact process on Z, then, uniformly over all trees of degr ...

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 ...

Motivic invariants of moduli spaces of rank 2 Bradlow-Higgs triples

A Precise Threshold For Quasi-Ramsey Numbers

János Pach

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 ...
