In this paper we further investigate the well-studied problem of finding a perfect matching in a regular bipartite graph. The first non-trivial algorithm, with running time $O(mn)$, dates back to K\"{o}nig's work in 1916 (here $m=nd$ is the…

We study robust versions of properties of $(n,d,\lambda)$-graphs, namely, the property of a random sparsification of an $(n,d,\lambda)$-graph, where each edge is retained with probability $p$ independently. We prove such results for the…

We present a systematic study of the regularity phenomena for NIP hypergraphs and connections to the theory of (locally) generically stable measures, providing a model-theoretic hypergraph version of the results from [L. Lov\'asz, B.…

Many complex systems show non-pairwise interactions, which can be captured by hypergraphs. In this work, we propose an edge-swapping method to sample random directed hypergraphs with fixed vertex and hyperarc degrees, which can be applied…

Large graphs are sometimes studied through their degree sequences (power law or regular graphs). We study graphs that are uniformly chosen with a given degree sequence. Under mild conditions, it is shown that sequences of such graphs have…

We present a simple sublinear-time algorithm for sampling an arbitrary subgraph $H$ \emph{exactly uniformly} from a graph $G$ with $m$ edges, to which the algorithm has access by performing the following types of queries: (1) degree…

We study the problem of finding a copy of a specific induced subgraph on inhomogeneous random graphs with infinite variance power-law degrees. We provide a fast algorithm that finds a copy of any connected graph $H$ on a fixed number of $k$…

In this work we provide a new technique to design fast approximation algorithms for graph problems where the points of the graph lie in a metric space. Specifically, we present a sampling approach for such metric graphs that, using a…

We prove a sampling theorem for infinite-dimensional Paley-Wiener spaces on graphs which allows for stable frame reconstruction. We prove that all sampling sets for a fixed Paley-Wiener space are complements of lambda-sets (i.e. sets where…

We show that the ratio of the number of near perfect matchings to the number of perfect matchings in $d$-regular strong expander (non-bipartite) graphs, with $2n$ vertices, is a polynomial in $n$, thus the Jerrum and Sinclair Markov chain…

We develop a new approach for uniform generation of combinatorial objects, and apply it to derive a uniform sampler REG for d-regular graphs. REG can be implemented such that each graph is generated in expected time O(nd^3), provided that…

The classical sharp threshold theorem of Friedgut and Kalai (1996) asserts that any symmetric monotone function $f:\{0,1\}^{n}\to\{0,1\}$ exhibits a sharp threshold phenomenon. This means that the expectation of $f$ with respect to the…

The area of sublinear algorithms have recently received a lot of attention. In this setting, one has to choose specific access model for the input, as the algorithm does not have time to pre-process or even to see the whole input. A…

We show that the perfect matching problem in general graphs is in Quasi-NC. That is, we give a deterministic parallel algorithm which runs in $O(\log^3 n)$ time on $n^{O(\log^2 n)}$ processors. The result is obtained by a derandomization of…
