The most popular method for computing the matrix logarithm is a combination of the inverse scaling and squaring method in conjunction with a Pad\'e approximation, sometimes accompanied by the Schur decomposition. The main computational…
We consider a decision network on an undirected graph in which each node corresponds to a decision variable, and each node and edge of the graph is associated with a reward function whose value depends only on the variables of the…
As a generalization of Hermite interpolation problem, Birkhoff interpolation is an important subject in numerical approximation. This paper generalizes the existing Generalized Recursive Polynomial Interpolation Algorithm (GRPIA) that is…
The graph polynomial for the number of independent sets of size $k$ in a general undirected graph is shown to be equal to an elementary symmetric polynomial of the vertex monomials, which are determined by the edges incident at the…
In this note, we analyze two random greedy processes on sparse random graphs and hypergraphs with a given degree sequence. First we analyze the matching process, which builds a set of disjoint edges one edge at a time; then we analyze the…
Zwick's $(1+\varepsilon)$-approximation algorithm for the All Pairs Shortest Path (APSP) problem runs in time $\widetilde{O}(\frac{n^\omega}{\varepsilon} \log{W})$, where $\omega \le 2.373$ is the exponent of matrix multiplication and $W$…
In this paper we give an algorithm for counting the number of all independent sets in a given graph which works in time $O^*(1.1394^n)$ for subcubic graphs and in time $O^*(1.2369^n)$ for general graphs, where $n$ is the number of vertices…
An independent set in a simple graph $G$ is a set of pairwise non-adjacent vertices in $G$. The independence polynomial of $G$, denoted by $I_G$ is defined as $1 + a_1 z + a_2 z^2+\cdots+a_d z^{d}$, where $a_i$ denotes the number of…

It has been shown by Voiculescu and Biane that the analytic subordination property holds for free additive and multiplicative convolutions. In this paper, we present an operatorial approach to subordination for free multiplicative…
