Finding a Maximum Clique is a classic property test from graph theory; find any one of the largest complete subgraphs in an Erd\"os-R\'enyi G(N, p) random graph. We use Maximum Clique to explore the structure of the problem as a function of…
The Congested Clique model proposed by Lotker et al.[SICOMP'05] was introduced in order to provide a simple abstraction for overlay networks. Congested Clique is a model of distributed (or parallel) computing, in which there are $n$ players…
We show that the max-min-angle polygon in a planar point set can be found in time $O(n\log n)$ and a max-min-solid-angle convex polyhedron in a three-dimensional point set can be found in time $O(n^2)$. We also study the maxmin-angle…

Maximal Independent Set (MIS) in a graph is a fundamental problem with applications in resource allocation, scheduling, and network optimization. Although graphs are inherently un-structured and challenging for GPU parallelism due to…
There are many methods to find a maximum (or maximal) clique in large networks. Due to the nature of combinatorics, computation becomes exponentially expensive as the number of vertices in a graph increases. Thus, there is a need for…
The previously fastest algorithm for deciding the existence of an independent cut had a runtime of $\mathcal{O}^*(1.4423^n)$, where $n$ is the order of the input graph. We improve this to $\mathcal{O}^*(1.4143^n)$. In fact, we prove a…
The minimum degree algorithm is one of the most widely-used heuristics for reducing the cost of solving large sparse systems of linear equations. It has been studied for nearly half a century and has a rich history of bridging techniques…
We study the problem of approximating the number of $k$-cliques in a graph when given query access to the graph. We consider the standard query model for general graphs via (1) degree queries, (2) neighbor queries and (3) pair queries. Let…
By prior work, there is a distributed algorithm that finds a maximal fractional matching (maximal edge packing) in $O(\Delta)$ rounds, where $\Delta$ is the maximum degree of the graph. We show that this is optimal: there is no distributed…
Given a graph, finding the distance-2 maximal independent set (MIS-2) of the vertices is a problem that is useful in several contexts such as algebraic multigrid coarsening or multilevel graph partitioning. Such multilevel methods rely on…
Algorithm MLS (Maximal Label Search) is a graph search algorithm which generalizes algorithms MCS, LexBFS, LexDFS and MNS. On a chordal graph, MLS computes a peo (perfect elimination ordering) of the graph. We show how algorithm MLS can be…
We consider the problem of computing a maximal independent set (MIS) in an extremely harsh broadcast model that relies only on carrier sensing. The model consists of an anonymous broadcast network in which nodes have no knowledge about the…
We describe and analyse a simple greedy algorithm \2G\ that finds a good 2-matching $M$ in the random graph $G=G_{n,cn}^{\d\geq 3}$ when $c\geq 15$. A 2-matching is a spanning subgraph of maximum degree two and $G$ is drawn uniformly from…

The problem of finding large cliques in random graphs and its "planted" variant, where one wants to recover a clique of size $\omega \gg \log{(n)}$ added to an \Erdos-\Renyi graph $G \sim G(n,\frac{1}{2})$, have been intensely studied.…
