Graphlets are induced subgraph patterns and have been frequently applied to characterize the local topology structures of graphs across various domains, e.g., online social networks (OSNs) and biological networks. Discovering and computing…
We describe a three precision variant of Newton's method for nonlinear equations. We evaluate the nonlinear residual in double precision, store the Jacobian matrix in single precision, and solve the equation for the Newton step with…
We present a new method for computing the Near-To-Far-Field (NTFF) transformation in FDTD simulations which has an overall scaling of $O(N^3)$ instead of the standard $O(N^4)$. By mapping the far field with a cartesian coordinate system the…
The girth of a graph is the length of its shortest cycle. We give an algorithm that computes in O(n(log n)^3) time and O(n) space the (weighted) girth of an n-vertex planar digraph with arbitrary real edge weights. This is an improvement of…
The tree-cut width of a graph is a graph parameter defined by Wollan [J. Comb. Theory, Ser. B, 110:47-66, 2015] with the help of tree-cut decompositions. In certain cases, tree-cut width appears to be more adequate than treewidth as an…
This work describes a new algorithm for creating a superposition over the edge set of a graph, encoding a quantum sample of the random walk stationary distribution. The algorithm requires a number of quantum walk steps scaling as…
We apply the techniques of computable model theory to the distance function of a graph. This task leads us to adapt the definitions of several truth-table reducibilities so that they apply to functions as well as to sets, and we prove…
The reciprocal square root is an important computation for which many sophisticated algorithms exist (see for example \cite{Moroz,863046,863031} and the references therein). A common theme is the use of Newton's method to refine the…
We develop a general theory for a quantum-walk search on a star graph. A star graph has N edges each of which is attached to a central vertex. A graph G is attached to one of these edges, and we would like to find out to which edge it is…
Random walk based distributed algorithms make use of a token that circulates in the system according to a random walk scheme to achieve their goal. To study their efficiency and compare it to one of the deterministic solutions, one is led…
We consider minimization of a sum of convex objective functions where the components of the objective are available at different nodes of a network and nodes are allowed to only communicate with their neighbors. The use of distributed…
We show that in the quantum query model the complexity of detecting a triangle in an undirected graph on $n$ nodes can be done using $O(n^{1+{3\over 7}}\log^{2}n)$ quantum queries. The same complexity bound applies for outputting the…
We prove that when a class of partial differential equations, generalized from the cable equation, is defined on tree graphs, and when the inputs are restricted to a spatially discrete, well chosen set of points, the Green's function (GF)…
For a collection $\mathcal{F}$ of graphs, the $\mathcal{F}$-\textsc{Contraction} problem takes a graph $G$ and an integer $k$ as input and decides if $G$ can be modified to some graph in $\mathcal{F}$ using at most $k$ edge contractions.…
The pebble motion problem (PMP) asks whether one configuration of labeled pebbles on a graph can be transformed into another by moving pebbles to adjacent unoccupied vertices. It is a fundamental model of graph reconfiguration and is…
In this paper, we study the iteration complexity of cubic regularization of Newton method for solving composite minimization problems with uniformly convex objective. We introduce the notion of second-order condition number of a certain…
Computing the Euler genus of a graph is a fundamental problem in graph theory and topology. It has been shown to be NP-hard by [Thomassen '89] and a linear-time fixed-parameter algorithm has been obtained by [Mohar '99]. Despite extensive…
Newton's method for solving the matrix equation $F(X)\equiv AX-XX^TAX=0$ runs up against the fact that its zeros are not isolated. This is due to a symmetry of $F$ by the action of the orthogonal group. We show how differential-geometric…
This article generalizes a recently introduced procedure to solve nonlinear systems of equations, radically departing from the conventional Newton-Raphson scheme. The original nonlinear system is first unfolded into three simpler…
The usual formulation of efficient division uses Newton iteration to compute an inverse in a related domain where multiplicative inverses exist. On one hand, Newton iteration allows quotients to be calculated using an efficient…
