The spectra of recently constructed auxiliary matrices for the six-vertex model respectively the spin s=1/2 Heisenberg chain at roots of unity q^N=1 are investigated. Two conjectures are formulated both of which are proven for N=3 and are…
Let $B=(X,Y,E)$ be a bipartite graph. A half-square of $B$ has one color class of $B$ as vertex set, say $X$; two vertices are adjacent whenever they have a common neighbor in $Y$. Every planar graph is a half-square of a planar bipartite…
Consider a graph with n nodes and m edges, independent edge weights and lengths, and arbitrary distance demands for node pairs. The spanner problem asks for a minimum-weight subgraph that satisfies these demands via sufficiently short paths…
In compressed sensing, the "restricted isometry property" (RIP) is a sufficient condition for the efficient reconstruction of a nearly k-sparse vector x in C^d from m linear measurements Phi x. It is desirable for m to be small, and for Phi…
Entity and Relation Extraction (ERE) is an important task in information extraction. Recent marker-based pipeline models achieve state-of-the-art performance, but still suffer from the error propagation issue. Also, most of current ERE…
Paley graphs form a nice link between the distribution of quadratic residues and graph theory. These graphs possess remarkable properties which make them useful in several branches of mathematics. Classically, for each prime number $p$ we…
In deterministic compressive sensing, one constructs sampling matrices that recover sparse signals from highly incomplete measurements. However, the so-called square-root bottleneck limits the usefulness of such matrices, as they are only…
We derive an asymptotic formula for the number of solutions in a given subfield to certain system of equations over finite fields. As an application, we construct new families of maximal cliques in generalized Paley graphs. Given integers…
Encryption has increasingly been used in all applications for various purposes, but it also brings big challenges to network security. In this paper, we take first steps towards addressing some of these chal- lenges by introducing a novel…
Determining the integrality gap of the linear programming (LP) relaxation of the metric traveling salesman problem (TSP) remains a long-standing open problem. We introduce a transfer principle: when the integer optimum of the…
MAP is the problem of finding a most probable instantiation of a set of variables in a Bayesian network given some evidence. Unlike computing posterior probabilities, or MPE (a special case of MAP), the time and space complexity of…
Graph kernels are conventional methods for computing graph similarities. However, the existing R-convolution graph kernels cannot resolve both of the two challenges: 1) Comparing graphs at multiple different scales, and 2) Considering the…
Graph mining is one of the most important categories of graph algorithms. However, exploring the subgraphs of an input graph produces a huge amount of intermediate data. The 'think like a vertex' programming paradigm, pioneered by Pregel,…
We bring in here a novel algebraic approach for attacking the McEliece cryptosystem. It consists in introducing a subspace of matrices representing quadratic forms. Those are associated with quadratic relationships for the component-wise…
The local minimum degree of a graph is the minimum degree reached by means of a series of local complementations. In this paper, we investigate on this quantity which plays an important role in quantum computation and quantum error…
We investigate two notions of saturation for partial planar embeddings of maximal planar graphs. Let $G = (V, E) $ be a vertex-labeled maximal planar graph on $ n $ vertices, which by definition has $3n - 6$ edges. We say that a labeled…
The all pairs shortest path problem (APSP) is one of the foundational problems in computer science. For weighted dense graphs on $n$ vertices, no truly sub-cubic algorithms exist to compute APSP exactly even for undirected graphs. This is…
Recently, a secrecy measure based on list-reconstruction has been proposed [2], in which a wiretapper is allowed to produce a list of $2^{mR_{L}}$ reconstruction sequences and the secrecy is measured by the minimum distortion over the…
In the multiway cut problem, we are given an undirected graph with non-negative edge weights and a collection of $k$ terminal nodes, and the goal is to partition the node set of the graph into $k$ non-empty parts each containing exactly one…
It is well acknowledged that incorporating explicit knowledge graphs (KGs) can benefit question answering. Existing approaches typically follow a grounding-reasoning pipeline in which entity nodes are first grounded for the query (question…
