We improve the best known upper bound on the number of edges in a unit-distance graph on $n$ vertices for each $n\in\{16,\ldots,30\}$. When $n\leq 21$, our bounds match the best known lower bounds, and we fully enumerate the densest…
For any finite set $\mathcal{H} = \{H_1,\ldots,H_p\}$ of graphs, a graph is $\mathcal{H}$-subgraph-free if it does not contain any of $H_1,\ldots,H_p$ as a subgraph. In recent work, meta-classifications have been studied: these show that if…
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…
Hypergraphs are generalisation of graphs in which a hyperedge can connect any number of vertices. It can describe n-ary relationships and high-order information among entities compared to conventional graphs. In this paper, we study the…
MapReduce (and its open source implementation Hadoop) has become the de facto platform for processing large data sets. MapReduce offers a streamlined computational framework by interleaving sequential and parallel computation while hiding…
In graph theory, an independent set is a subset of nodes where there are no two adjacent nodes. The independent set is maximal if no node outside the independent set can join it. In network applications, maximal independent sets can be used…
We study the problem of finding and monitoring fixed-size subgraphs in a continually changing large-scale graph. We present the first approach that (i) performs worst-case optimal computation and communication, (ii) maintains a total memory…
We introduce a random hypergraph model for core-periphery structure. By leveraging our model's sufficient statistics, we develop a novel statistical inference algorithm that is able to scale to large hypergraphs with runtime that is…
Finding maximum-cardinality matchings in undirected graphs is arguably one of the most central graph primitives. For $m$-edge and $n$-vertex graphs, it is well-known to be solvable in $O(m\sqrt{n})$ time; however, for several applications…

Dense subgraph extraction is a fundamental problem in graph analysis and data mining, aimed at identifying cohesive and densely connected substructures within a given graph. It plays a crucial role in various domains, including social…
The notion of {\em recoverable value} was advocated in work of Feige, Immorlica, Mirrokni and Nazerzadeh [Approx 2009] as a measure of quality for approximation algorithms. There this concept was applied to facility location problems. In…
Most graphs in real life keep changing with time. These changes can be in the form of insertion or deletion of edges or vertices. Such rapidly changing graphs motivate us to study dynamic graph algorithms. However, three important graph…
In our paper, we consider the following general problems: check feasibility, count the number of feasible solutions, find an optimal solution, and count the number of optimal solutions in $P \cap Z^n$, assuming that $P$ is a polyhedron,…
We generalize the reduction mechanism for linear programming problems and semidefinite programming problems from [arXiv:1410.8816] in two ways 1) relaxing the requirement of affineness and 2) extending to fractional optimization problems.…
Given a hypergraph $H$, the Minimum Connectivity Inference problem asks for a graph on the same vertex set as $H$ with the minimum number of edges such that the subgraph induced by every hyperedge of $H$ is connected. This problem has…
Motivated by a real-world vehicle routing application, we consider the maximum-weight independent set problem: Given a node-weighted graph, find a set of independent (mutually nonadjacent) nodes whose node-weight sum is maximum. Some of the…
In this paper, we propose a simple and effective {geometric} model fitting method to fit and segment multi-structure data even in the presence of severe outliers. We cast the task of geometric model fitting as a representative mode-seeking…
In the Maximum-size Properly Colored Forest problem, we are given an edge-colored undirected graph and the goal is to find a properly colored forest with as many edges as possible. We study this problem within a broader framework by…
A recently proposed exact algorithm for the maximum independent set problem is analyzed. The typical running time is improved exponentially in some parameter regions compared to simple binary search. The algorithm also overcomes the core…
