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

Jana Tabea Cslovjecsek

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 ...

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 ...

How to Match in Modern Computational Settings

Buddhima Ruwanmini Gamlath Gamlath Ralalage

This thesis focuses on the maximum matching problem in modern computational settings where the algorithms have to make decisions with partial information. First, we consider two stochastic models called query-commit and price-of-information where the algo ...

Adaptive majority problems for restricted query graphs and for weighted sets

Doemoetoer Palvoelgyi, Abhishek Methuku, Balázs Keszegh

Suppose that the vertices of a graph G are colored with two colors in an unknown way. The color that occurs on more than half of the vertices is called the majority color (if it exists), and any vertex of this color is called a majority vertex. We study th ...

Vertex function compliant with the Ward identity for quasiparticle self-consistent calculations beyond GW

Alfredo Pasquarello, Wei Chen

We extend the quasiparticle self-consistent approach beyond the GW approximation by using a range separated vertex function. The developed approach yields band gaps, dielectric constants, and band positions with an accuracy similar to highest-level electro ...

Learning from survey propagation: a neural network for MAX-E-3-SAT

Raffaele Marino

Many natural optimization problems are NP-hard, which implies that they are probably hard to solve exactly in the worst-case. However, it suffices to get reasonably good solutions for all (or even most) instances in practice. This paper presents a new algo ...

Space Efficient Approximation to Maximum Matching Size from Uniform Edge Samples

Slobodan Mitrovic, Mikhail Kapralov, Ashkan Norouzi Fard, Jakab Tardos

Given a source of iid samples of edges of an input graph G with n vertices and m edges, how many samples does one need to compute a constant factor approximation to the maximum matching size in G? Moreover, is it possible to obtain such an estimate in a sm ...

Modeling Network Populations via Graph Distances

Sofia Charlotta Olhede

This article introduces a new class of models for multiple networks. The core idea is to parameterize a distribution on labeled graphs in terms of a Frechet mean graph (which depends on a user-specified choice of metric or graph distance) and a parameter t ...

Differentially Private Release of Synthetic Graphs

Mikhail Kapralov, Marek Elias

We propose a (epsilon, delta)-differentially private mechanism that, given an input graph G with n vertices and m edges, in polynomial time generates a synthetic graph G' approximating all cuts of the input graph up to an additive error of O (root mn/epsil ...

Local approximation of the Maximum Cut in regular graphs

Etienne Michel François Bamas

This paper is devoted to the distributed complexity of finding an approximation of the maximum cut (MAXCUT) in graphs. A classical algorithm consists in letting each vertex choose its side of the cut uniformly at random. This does not require any communica ...

On clique coverings of complete multipartite graphs

Abhishek Methuku

A clique covering of a graph G is a set of cliques of G such that any edge of G is contained in one of these cliques, and the weight of a clique covering is the sum of the sizes of the cliques in it. The sigma clique cover number scc(G) of a graph G, is de ...

A Crossing Lemma for Multigraphs

János Pach

Let G be a drawing of a graph with n vertices and e > 4n edges, in which no two adjacent edges cross and any pair of independent edges cross at most once. According to the celebrated Crossing Lemma of Ajtai, Chvatal, Newborn, Szemeredi and Leighton, the nu ...

Symbolic Algorithms for Token Swapping

Giovanni De Micheli, Mathias Soeken, Bruno Schmitt Antunes

We study different symbolic algorithms to solve two related reconfiguration problems on graphs: the token swapping problem and the permutation routing via matchings problem. Input to both problems is a connected graph with labeled vertices and a token in e ...

No Small Linear Program Approximates Vertex Cover Within a Factor 2-epsilon

Ola Nils Anders Svensson, Abbas Bazzi

The vertex cover problem is one of the most important and intensively studied combinatorial optimization problems. Khot and Regev [Khot S, Regev O (2008) Vertex cover might be hard to approximate to within 2 - epsilon. J. Comput. System Sci. 74(3): 335-349 ...

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 ...
