An elimination tree of a connected graph $G$ is a rooted tree on the vertices of $G$ obtained by choosing a root $v$ and recursing on the connected components of $G-v$ to obtain the subtrees of $v$. The graph associahedron of $G$ is a…
We give a simple, greedy $O(n^{\omega+0.5})=O(n^{2.872})$-time algorithm to list-decode planted cliques in a semirandom model introduced in [CSV17] (following [FK01]) that succeeds whenever the size of the planted clique is $k\geq…

For $f(x)$ a separable polynomial of degree $d$ over a discretely valued field $K$, we describe how the cluster picture of $f(x)$ over $K$, in other words the set of tuples $\{(\mathrm{ord}(x_i-x_j),i,j) : 1\leq i< j \leq d \}$ where…
Approximating the partition function of the ferromagnetic Ising model with general external fields is known to be #BIS-hard in the worst case, even for bounded-degree graphs, and it is widely believed that no polynomial-time approximation…

Univariate polynomial root-finding is both classical and important for modern computing. Frequently one seeks just the real roots of a polynomial with real coefficients. They can be approximated at a low computational cost if the polynomial…
