We describe a new sampling-based method to determine cuts in an undirected graph. For a graph (V, E), its cycle space is the family of all subsets of E that have even degree at each vertex. We prove that with high probability, sampling the…

In this paper, we present a new exact algorithm for counting perfect matchings, which relies on neither inclusion-exclusion principle nor tree-decompositions. For any bipartite graph of $2n$ nodes and $\Delta n$ edges such that $\Delta \geq…

More than 25 years ago Chazelle~\emph{et al.} (FOCS 1991) studied the following question: Is it possible to cut any set of $n$ lines in ${\Bbb R}^3$ into a subquadratic number of fragments such that the resulting fragments admit a depth…

We show that for any $d\ge 2$ and $\Delta>0$ there exists $\eta>0$ such that the following holds: Let $G$ be an $n$-vertex graph with at least $\Omega(n^2)$ edges and let $H$ be an $n$-vertex $d$-degenerate graph with maximum degree at most…

Graphs are the dominant formalism for modeling multi-agent systems. The algebraic connectivity of a graph is particularly important because it provides the convergence rates of consensus algorithms that underlie many multi-agent control and…

This paper develops a framework for privatizing the spectrum of the graph Laplacian of an undirected graph using differential privacy. We consider two privacy formulations. The first obfuscates the presence of edges in the graph and the…

One of the most basic problems for studying the "price of privacy over time" is the so called private counter problem, introduced by Dwork et al. (2010) and Chan et al. (2010). In this problem, we aim to track the number of events that…

In this work, we study the problem of answering $k$ queries with $(\epsilon, \delta)$-differential privacy, where each query has sensitivity one. We give an algorithm for this task that achieves an expected $\ell_\infty$ error bound of…

Triangle counting is a fundamental problem in graph mining, essential for analyzing graph streams with arbitrary edge orders. However, exact counting becomes impractical due to the massive size of real-world graph streams. To address this,…

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…
