We show that the binary logarithm of the nonnegative rank of a nonnegative matrix is, up to small constants, equal to the minimum complexity of a randomized communication protocol computing the matrix in expectation. We use this connection to prove new con ...
In a drawing of a graph, two edges form an odd pair if they cross each other an odd number of times. A pair of edges is independent if they share no endpoint. For a graph G, let ocr(G) be the smallest number of odd pairs in a drawing of G and let iocr(G) b ...
Some of the currently best-known approximation algorithms for network design are based on random sampling. One of the key steps of such algorithms is connecting a set of source nodes to a random subset of them. In a recent work [Eisenbrand,Grandoni,Rothvo\ ...
A community in a network is a subset of vertices densely connected to each other, but less connected to the vertices outside. Many different approaches have been developed to find such structures in a given network, but the main drawback of most of the ava ...
