Let $F$ be a strictly $k$-balanced $k$-uniform hypergraph with $e(F)\geq |F|-k+1$ and maximum co-degree at least two. The random greedy $F$-free process constructs a maximal $F$-free hypergraph as follows. Consider a random ordering of the…

The greedy spanner in a low dimensional Euclidean space is a fundamental geometric construction that has been extensively studied over three decades as it possesses the two most basic properties of a good spanner: constant maximum degree…
Motivated by an application in kidney exchange, we study the following query-commit problem: we are given the set of vertices of a non-bipartite graph G. The set of edges in this graph are not known ahead of time. We can query any pair of…

Graph spanners are sparse subgraphs that faithfully preserve the distances in the original graph up to small stretch. Spanner have been studied extensively as they have a wide range of applications ranging from distance oracles, labeling…

Sampling and interpolation have been extensively studied, in order to reconstruct or estimate the entire graph signal from the signal values on a subset of vertexes, of which most achievements are about continuous signals. While in a lot of…
We extend some rate of convergence results of greedy quantization sequences already investigated in arXiv:1409.0732 [math.PR]. We show, for a more general class of distributions satisfying a certain control, that the quantization error of…
The main goal of this paper is twofold. First, we extend some results known in the case of weak greedy algorithms with a scalar parameter to the case of weak greedy algorithms with a weakness sequence. Second, we formulate a new setting of…
An $(\alpha,\beta)$-spanner of an $n$-vertex graph $G=(V,E)$ is a subgraph $H$ of $G$ satisfying that $dist(u, v, H) \leq \alpha \cdot dist(u, v, G)+\beta$ for every pair $(u, v)\in V \times V$, where $dist(u,v,G')$ denotes the distance…
A greedy embedding of a graph $G = (V,E)$ into a metric space $(X,d)$ is a function $x : V(G) \to X$ such that in the embedding for every pair of non-adjacent vertices $x(s), x(t)$ there exists another vertex $x(u)$ adjacent to $x(s)$ which…
