In the online bipartite matching with reassignments problem, an algorithm is initially given only one side of the vertex set of a bipartite graph; the vertices on the other side are revealed to the algorithm one by one, along with its…
Motivated by the fact that in several cases a matching in a graph is stable if and only if it is produced by a greedy algorithm, we study the problem of computing a maximum weight greedy matching on weighted graphs, termed GreedyMatching.…
We consider the maximum bipartite matching problem in stochastic settings, namely the query-commit and price-of-information models. In the query-commit model, an edge e independently exists with probability $p_e$. We can query whether an…
This paper presents a linear prioritized local algorithm that computes large independent sets on a random $d$-regular graph with small and fixed degree $d$. We studied experimentally the independence ratio obtained by the algorithm when $ d…
We analyse the size of an independent set in a random graph on $n$ vertices with specified vertex degrees, constructed via a simple greedy algorithm: order the vertices arbitrarily, and, for each vertex in turn, place it in the independent…
Computing the maximum size of an independent set in a graph is a famously hard combinatorial problem that has been well-studied for various classes of graphs. When it comes to random graphs, only the classical Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi-Gilbert…

Enumerating maximal $k$-biplexes (MBPs) of a bipartite graph has been used for applications such as fraud detection. Nevertheless, there usually exists an exponential number of MBPs, which brings up two issues when enumerating MBPs, namely…
The independent set problem is NP-hard and particularly difficult to solve in large sparse graphs. In this work, we develop an advanced evolutionary algorithm, which incorporates kernelization techniques to compute large independent sets in…
We investigate online maximum cardinality matching, a central problem in ad allocation. In this problem, users are revealed sequentially, and each new user can be paired with any previously unmatched campaign that it is compatible with.…

We prove a large deviation principle for a greedy exploration process on an Erd\"os-R\'enyi (ER) graph when the number of nodes goes to infinity. To prove our main result, we use the general strategy to study large deviations of processes…
Finding minimum dominating set and maximum independent set for graphs in the classical online setup are notorious due to their disastrous $\Omega(n)$ lower bound of the competitive ratio that even holds for interval graphs, where $n$ is the…
Given a bipartite graph, the maximum balanced biclique (\textsf{MBB}) problem, discovering a mutually connected while equal-sized disjoint sets with the maximum cardinality, plays a significant role for mining the bipartite graph and has…
The densest subgraph of a large graph usually refers to some subgraph with the highest average degree, which has been extended to the family of $p$-means dense subgraph objectives by~\citet{veldt2021generalized}. The $p$-mean densest…
Online bipartite matching has been extensively studied. In the unweighted setting, Karp et al. gave an optimal $(1 - 1/e)$-competitive randomized algorithm. In the weighted setting, optimal algorithms have been achieved only under…
