Metastability of the Potts Ferromagnet on Random Regular Graphs

We study the performance of Markov chains for the q-state ferromagnetic Potts model on random regular graphs. While the cases of the grid and the complete graph are by now well-understood, the case of random regular graphs has resisted a detailed analysis ...

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 ...

Minimum Cost Intervention Design for Causal Effect Identification

Negar Kiyavash, Sina Akbari, Seyed Jalal Etesami

Pearl's do calculus is a complete axiomatic approach to learn the identifiable causal effects from observational data. When such an effect is not identifiable, it is necessary to perform a collection of often costly interventions in the system to learn the ...

Streaming and Matching Problems with Submodular Functions

Paritosh Garg

Submodular functions are a widely studied topic in theoretical computer science. They have found several applications both theoretical and practical in the fields of economics, combinatorial optimization and machine learning. More recently, there have also ...

Motif Cut Sparsifiers

Mikhail Kapralov, Mikhail Makarov, Jakab Tardos

A motif is a frequently occurring subgraph of a given directed or undirected graph G (Milo et al.). Motifs capture higher order organizational structure of G beyond edge relationships, and, therefore, have found wide applications such as in graph clusterin ...

New Results in Integer and Lattice Programming

Christoph Hunkenschröder

An integer program (IP) is a problem of the form

\min \{f(x) : \, Ax = b, \ l \leq x \leq u, \ x \in \Z^n\}

, where

A \in \Z^{m \times n}

b \in \Z^m

l,u \in \Z^n

, and

f: \Z^n \rightarrow \Z

is a separable convex objective function. The problem o ...

On compact representations of Voronoi cells of lattices

Matthias Schymura, Christoph Hunkenschröder

In a seminal work, Micciancio and Voulgaris (SIAM J Comput 42(3):1364-1391, 2013) described a deterministic single-exponential time algorithm for the closest vector problem (CVP) on lattices. It is based on the computation of the Voronoi cell of the given ...

Simple Realizability of Complete Abstract Topological Graphs Simplified

Jan Kyncl

An abstract topological graph (briefly an AT-graph) is a pair A = (G, X) where G = (V, E) is a graph and X. E2 is a set of pairs of its edges. The AT-graph A is simply realizable if G can be drawn in the plane so that each pair of edges from X crosses exac ...

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 ...

On approximation algorithms and polyhedral relaxations for knapsack problems, and clustered planarity testing

Igor Malinovic

Knapsack problems give a simple framework for decision making. A classical example is the min-knapsack problem (MinKnap): choose a subset of items with minimum total cost, whose total profit is above a given threshold. While this model successfully general ...

In a seminal work, Micciancio & Voulgaris (2010) described a deterministic single-exponential time algorithm for the Closest Vector Problem (CVP) on lattices. It is based on the computation of the Voronoi cell of the given lattice and thus may need exponen ...

A semi-algebraic version of Zarankiewicz's problem

János Pach

A bipartite graph G is semi-algebraic in R-d if its vertices are represented by point sets P,Q subset of R-d and its edges are defined as pairs of points (p,q) epsilon P x Q that satisfy a Boolean combination of a fixed number of polynomial equations and i ...

Subdeterminant Maximization via Nonconvex Relaxations and Anti-Concentration

Nisheeth Vishnoi, Javad Ebrahimi Boroojeni, Damian Mateusz Straszak

Several fundamental problems that arise in optimization and computer science can be cast as follows: Given vectors v(1), ..., v(m) is an element of R-d and a constraint family B subset of 2([m]), find a set S. B that maximizes the squared volume of the sim ...

Strengths and Limitations of Linear Programming Relaxations

Abbas Bazzi

Many of the currently best-known approximation algorithms for NP-hard optimization problems are based on Linear Programming (LP) and Semi-definite Programming (SDP) relaxations. Given its power, this class of algorithms seems to contain the most favourable ...

Node-weighted network design and maximum sub-determinants

Carsten Moldenhauer

We consider the Node-weighted Steiner Forest problem on planar graphs. Demaine et al. showed that a generic primal-dual algorithm gives a 6-approximation. We present two different proofs of an approximation factor of~

Deciding Conditional Termination

We address the problem of conditional termination, which is that of defining the set of initial configurations from which a given program always terminates. First we define the dual set, of initial configurations from which a non-terminating execution exis ...

Coloring Relatives of Interval Overlap Graphs via On-line Games

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 ...

Graph Transformations preserving the stability number

Dominique de Werra

We analyze the relations between several graph transformations that were introduced to be used in procedures determining the stability number of a graph. We show that all these transformations can be decomposed into a sequence of edge deletions and twin de ...

k-Edge-Connectivity: Approximation and LP Relaxation

David Pritchard

This paper's focus is the following family of problems, denoted k-ECSS, where k denotes a positive integer: given a graph (V, E) and costs for each edge, find a minimum-cost subset F of E such that (V, F) is k-edge-connected. For k=1 it is the spanning tre ...
