In this paper, we investigate bounds for the following judicious $k$-partitioning problem: Given an edge-weighted graph $G$, find a $k$-partition $(V_1,V_2,\dots ,V_k)$ of $V(G)$ such that the total weight of edges in the heaviest induced…
We study the greedy-based online algorithm for edge-weighted matching with (one-sided) vertex arrivals in bipartite graphs, and edge arrivals in general graphs. This algorithm was first studied more than a decade ago by Korula and P\'al for…
We consider problems of finding a maximum size/weight $t$-matching without forbidden subgraphs in an undirected graph $G$ with the maximum degree bounded by $t+1$, where $t$ is an integer greater than $2$. Depending on the variant forbidden…
We present a simple semi-streaming algorithm for $(1-\epsilon)$-approximation of bipartite matching in $O(\log{\!(n)}/\epsilon)$ passes. This matches the performance of state-of-the-art "$\epsilon$-efficient" algorithms -- the ones with…
We propose a framework for optimal $t$-matchings excluding the prescribed $t$-factors in bipartite graphs. The proposed framework is a generalization of the nonbipartite matching problem and includes several problems, such as the…
In view of the node importance in weighted networks, weighted expected method (WEM), was proposed in this paper, which take an advantages of uncertain graph algorithm. First, a weight processing method is proposed based on the relationship…
Given a complete graph with $n$ vertices and non-negative edge weights, where $n$ is divisible by 3, the maximum weight 3-path packing problem is to find a set of $n/3$ vertex-disjoint 3-paths such that the total weight of the 3-paths in…
Wattenhofer [WW04] derive a complicated distributed algorithm to compute a weighted matching of an arbitrary weighted graph, that is at most a factor 5 away from the maximum weighted matching of that graph. We show that a variant of the…
We present parameterized streaming algorithms for the graph matching problem in both the dynamic and the insert-only models. For the dynamic streaming model, we present a one-pass algorithm that, with high probability, computes a…
We introduce a novel multivariate approach for solving weighted parameterized problems. In our model, given an instance of size $n$ of a minimization (maximization) problem, and a parameter $W \geq 1$, we seek a solution of weight at most…
We present the first near optimal approximation schemes for the maximum weighted (uncapacitated or capacitated) $b$--matching problems for non-bipartite graphs that run in time (near) linear in the number of edges. For any…
Let $\alpha_{1} (G)$ denote the maximum size of an edge set that contains at most one edge from each triangle of $G$. Let $\tau_{B} (G)$ denote the minimum size of an edge set whose deletion makes $G$ bipartite. It was conjectured by Lehel…
In the classic Maximum Weight Independent Set problem we are given a graph $G$ with a nonnegative weight function on vertices, and the goal is to find an independent set in $G$ of maximum possible weight. While the problem is NP-hard in…
We initiate the study of the Bipartite Contraction problem from the perspective of parameterized complexity. In this problem we are given a graph $G$ and an integer $k$, and the task is to determine whether we can obtain a bipartite graph…
We consider the problem of finding a maximum size triangle-free $2$-matching in a graph $G=(V,E)$. A (simple) $2$-matching is any subset of the edges such that each vertex is incident to at most two edges from the subset. The first…
For a graph $G=(V,E)$, let $\tau(G)$ denote the minimum number of pairwise edge disjoint complete bipartite subgraphs of $G$ so that each edge of $G$ belongs to exactly one of them. It is easy to see that for every graph $G$, $\tau(G) \leq…
In this paper we consider the well-studied problem of finding a perfect matching in a d-regular bipartite graph on 2n nodes with m=nd edges. The best-known algorithm for general bipartite graphs (due to Hopcroft and Karp) takes time…
This paper analyzes the problem of assigning weights to edges incrementally in a dynamic complete bipartite graph consisting of producer and consumer nodes. The objective is to minimize the overall cost while satisfying certain constraints.…
Finding maximum-weight independent sets in graphs is an important NP-hard optimization problem. Given a vertex-weighted graph $G$, the task is to find a subset of pairwise non-adjacent vertices of $G$ with maximum weight. Most recently…
Matching nodes in a graph G = (V, E) is a well-studied algorithmic problem with many applications. The b-matching problem is a generalizati on that allows to match a node with up to b neighbors. This allows more flexible connectivity…
