This paper is devoted to the distributed complexity of finding an approximation of the maximum cut in graphs. A classical algorithm consists in letting each vertex choose its side of the cut uniformly at random. This does not require any…

We give a linear-time algorithm that approximately uniformly generates a random simple graph with a power-law degree sequence whose exponent is at least 2.8811. While sampling graphs with power-law degree sequence of exponent at least 3 is…

The degree set of a finite simple graph $G$ is the set of distinct degrees of vertices of $G$. A theorem of Kapoor, Polimeni & Wall asserts that the least order of a graph with a given degree set $\mathscr D$ is $1+\max \mathscr D$.…

In this article, we study the efficient dynamical computation of all-pairs SimRanks on time-varying graphs. Li {\em et al}.'s approach requires $O(r^4 n^2)$ time and $O(r^2 n^2)$ memory in a graph with $n$ nodes, where $r$ is the target…

We present a simple randomized algorithm that can efficiently maintain a $(\Delta+1)$ coloring as the graph undergoes edge insertion and deletion updates, where $\Delta$ denotes an upper bound on the maximum degree. A key advantage is the…

We study the following problem: for given integers $d,k$ and graph $G$, can we obtain a graph with diameter $d$ via at most $k$ edge deletions ? We determine the computational complexity of this and related problems for different values of…

In 2015, Guth proved that if $S$ is a collection of $n$ $g$-dimensional semi-algebraic sets in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and if $D\geq 1$ is an integer, then there is a $d$-variate polynomial $P$ of degree at most $D$ so that each connected component…

In this paper we present a novel non-parametric method of simplifying piecewise linear curves and we apply this method as a statistical approximation of structure within sequential data in the plane. We consider the problem of minimizing…

An identifying code of a graph is a dominating set which uniquely determines all the vertices by their neighborhood within the code. Whereas graphs with large minimum degree have small domination number, this is not the case for the…

The question whether there exists a hypergraph whose degrees are equal to a given sequence of integers is a well-known reconstruction problem in graph theory, which is motivated by discrete tomography. In this paper we approach the problem…

The $\Delta$-vertex coloring problem has become one of the prototypical problems for understanding the complexity of local distributed graph problems on constant-degree graphs. The major open problem is whether the problem can be solved…

In this paper it is proved that there are constants 0< c_2< c_1 such that an asymptotic formula can be given for the the number of (labeled) n-vertex graphs of diameter d whenever n tends to infinity and 2 < d < n - c_1 (log n). A typical…

In this paper we consider a simple model of random graph process with {\it hard} copying as follows: At each time step $t$, with probability $0<\alpha\leq 1$ a new vertex $v_t$ is added and $m$ edges incident with $v_t$ are added in the…
