We study sublinear-time algorithms for solving linear systems $Sz = b$, where $S$ is a diagonally dominant matrix, i.e., $|S_{ii}| \geq \delta + \sum_{j \ne i} |S_{ij}|$ for all $i \in [n]$, for some $\delta \geq 0$. We present randomized…

We give an FPTAS for computing the number of matchings of size $k$ in a graph $G$ of maximum degree $\Delta$ on $n$ vertices, for all $k \le (1-\delta)m^*(G)$, where $\delta>0$ is fixed and $m^*(G)$ is the matching number of $G$, and an…

For a set $S$ of vertices of a graph $G$, we define its density $0 \leq \sigma(S) \leq 1$ as the ratio of the number of edges of $G$ spanned by the vertices of $S$ to ${|S| \choose 2}$. We show that, given a graph $G$ with $n$ vertices and…
