We define the bounded coarse structure attached to a family of pseudometrics and give some counterexamples to conjectures that arise naturally.
It is known that families of graphs with a semialgebraic edge relation of bounded complexity satisfy much stronger regularity properties than arbitrary graphs, and that they can be decomposed into very homogeneous semialgebraic pieces up to…
In recent years, significant advances have been made in the design and evaluation of balanced (hyper)graph partitioning algorithms. We survey trends of the last decade in practical algorithms for balanced (hyper)graph partitioning together…
In this paper, we use a partition of the links of a network in order to uncover its community structure. This approach allows for communities to overlap at nodes, so that nodes may be in more than one community. We do this by making a node…
Graph-based signal processing techniques have become essential for handling data in non-Euclidean spaces. However, there is a growing awareness that these graph models might need to be expanded into `higher-order' domains to effectively…
The circular external difference family and its strong version, which themselves are of independent combinatorial interest, were proposed as variants of the difference family to construct new unconditionally secure non-malleable threshold…
We propose theoretical and empirical improvements for two-stage hashing methods. We first provide a theoretical analysis on the quality of the binary codes and show that, under mild assumptions, a residual learning scheme can construct…
We show the existence of a Locality-Sensitive Hashing (LSH) family for the angular distance that yields an approximate Near Neighbor Search algorithm with the asymptotically optimal running time exponent. Unlike earlier algorithms with this…
One powerful method for upper-bounding the largest independent set in a graph is the Hoffman bound, which gives an upper bound on the largest independent set of a graph in terms of its eigenvalues. It is easily seen that the Hoffman bound…
There exists a large literature of construction of convolutional codes with maximal or near maximal free distance. Much less is known about constructions of convolutional codes having optimal or near optimal column distances. In this paper,…
We give the first exact and stability results for a hypergraph Tur\'{a}n problem with infinitely many extremal constructions that are far from each other in edit-distance. This includes an example of triple systems with Tur\'{a}n density…
Charles, Goren, and Lauter [J. Cryptology 22(1), 2009] explained how one can construct hash functions using expander graphs in which it is hard to find paths between specified vertices. The set of solutions to the classical Markoff equation…
We prove tight bounds on the site percolation threshold for $k$-uniform hypergraphs of maximum degree $\Delta$ and for $k$-uniform hypergraphs of maximum degree $\Delta$ in which any pair of edges overlaps in at most $r$ vertices. The…
We introduce a new class of identifiable DAG models where the conditional distribution of each node given its parents belongs to a family of generalized hypergeometric distributions (GHD). A family of generalized hypergeometric…
Graph separation is a central tool in parameterized algorithm design, and important separators are among its most successful ingredients. They yield small, structured families of separators that can be enumerated efficiently, and underlie…
We study bond percolation for a family of infinite hyperbolic graphs. We relate percolation to the appearance of homology in finite versions of these graphs. As a consequence, we derive an upper bound on the critical probabilities of the…
We consider the problem of high-dimensional Ising (graphical) model selection. We propose a simple algorithm for structure estimation based on the thresholding of the empirical conditional variation distances. We introduce a novel criterion…
We extend a recent construction concerning polychromatic colorings of hereditary hypergraph families. For every integer $h\ge 4$ we construct a $(2h-1)$-uniform hypergraph which has no polychromatic $3$-coloring, but all of whose $h$-heavy…
We present quantum complexity lower and upper bounds for independent set problems in graphs. In particular, we give quantum algorithms for computing a maximal and a maximum independent set in a graph. We present applications of these…
The analysis of the modular structure of networks is a major challenge in complex networks theory. The validity of the modular structure obtained is essential to confront the problem of the topology-functionality relationship. Recently,…
