Eigentrust is a simple and widely used algorithm, which quantifies trust based on the repeated application of an update matrix to a vector of initial trust values. In some cases, however, this procedure is rendered uninformative. Here, we…

In this paper, we reduce the complexity of approximating the correlation clustering problem from $O(m\times\left( 2+ \alpha (G) \right)+n)$ to $O(m+n)$ for any given value of $\varepsilon$ for a complete signed graph with $n$ vertices and…

This paper shows how to solve linear programs of the form $\min_{Ax=b,x\geq0} c^\top x$ with $n$ variables in time $$O^*((n^{\omega}+n^{2.5-\alpha/2}+n^{2+1/6}) \log(n/\delta))$$ where $\omega$ is the exponent of matrix multiplication,…

The subset sum problem (SSP) can be briefly stated as: given a target integer $E$ and a set $A$ containing $n$ positive integer $a_j$, find a subset of $A$ summing to $E$. The \textit{density} $d$ of an SSP instance is defined by the ratio…

This paper settles the computational complexity of model checking of several extensions of the monadic second order (MSO) logic on two classes of graphs: graphs of bounded treewidth and graphs of bounded neighborhood diversity. A classical…

We approach the Max-3-Cut problem through the lens of maximizing complex-valued quadratic forms and demonstrate that low-rank structure in the objective matrix can be exploited, leading to alternative algorithms to classical semidefinite…

We provide improved upper and lower bounds for the Min-Sum-Radii (MSR) and Min-Sum-Diameters (MSD) clustering problems with a bounded number of clusters $k$. In particular, we propose an exact MSD algorithm with running-time $n^{O(k)}$. We…

In this note, we give an algorithm that computes the linearwidth of input $n$-vertex graphs in time $O^*(2^n)$, which improves a trivial $O^*(2^m)$-time algorithm, where $n$ and $m$ the number of vertices and edges, respectively.
