Identifying cliques in dense networks remains a formidable challenge, even with significant advances in computational power and methodologies. To tackle this, numerous algorithms have been developed to optimize time and memory usage,…

We show that the `optimal' use of the parallel composition theorem corresponds to finding the size of the largest subset of queries that `overlap' on the data domain, a quantity we call the \emph{maximum overlap} of the queries. It has…

This study addresses a distributed optimization with a novel class of coupling of variables, called clique-wise coupling. A clique is a node set of a complete subgraph of an undirected graph. This setup is an extension of pairwise coupled…

This paper considers the matrix completion problem. We show that it is not necessary to assume joint incoherence, which is a standard but unintuitive and restrictive condition that is imposed by previous studies. This leads to a sample…

In the Hedge Cut problem, the edges of a graph are partitioned into groups called hedges, and the question is what is the minimum number of hedges to delete to disconnect the graph. Ghaffari, Karger, and Panigrahi [SODA 2017] showed that…
