A recent paper by Jiang, Mitzenmacher and Thaler upper bounded the number of rounds needed in a parallel peeling algorithm applied to a random hypergraph whose edge density is below the k-core emergence threshold. I gave a very short proof…

The maximum labelled clique problem is a variant of the maximum clique problem where edges in the graph are given labels, and we are not allowed to use more than a certain number of distinct labels in a solution. We introduce a new…

For a graph $G$, let $cp(G)$ denote the minimum number of cliques of $G$ needed to cover the edges of $G$ exactly once. Similarly, let $bp_k(G)$ denote the minimum number of bicliques (i.e. complete bipartite subgraphs of $G$) needed to…

We present a new parallel algorithm for $k$-clique counting/listing that has polylogarithmic span (parallel time) and is work-efficient (matches the work of the best sequential algorithm) for sparse graphs. Our algorithm is based on…

Finding a maximum clique in a given graph is one of the fundamental NP-hard problems. We compare two multi-core thread-parallel adaptations of a state-of-the-art branch and bound algorithm for the maximum clique problem, and provide a novel…

Given an initial configuration of pebbles on a graph, one can move pebbles in pairs along edges, at the cost of one of the pebbles moved, with the objective of reaching a specified target vertex. The pebbling number of a graph is the…

It takes $n^2/4$ cliques to cover all the edges of a complete bipartite graph $K_{n/2,n/2}$, but how many cliques does it take to cover all the edges of a graph $G$ if $G$ has no $K_{t,t}$ induced subgraph? We prove that $O(|G|^{2-1/(2t)})$…

We consider the maintenance of the set of all maximal cliques in a dynamic graph that is changing through the addition or deletion of edges. We present nearly tight bounds on the magnitude of change in the set of maximal cliques, as well as…

All the work made so far on edge-covering a graph by cliques focus on finding the minimum number of cliques that cover the graph. On this paper, we fix the number of cliques that cover a graph by the same number of vertices that the graph…

We present a parallel k-clique listing algorithm with improved work bounds (for the same depth) in sparse graphs with low degeneracy or arboricity. We achieve this by introducing and analyzing a new pruning criterion for a backtracking…

This paper studies the nucleus decomposition problem, which has been shown to be useful in finding dense substructures in graphs. We present a novel parallel algorithm that is efficient both in theory and in practice. Our algorithm achieves…

Recent research has examined algorithms to minimize robots' resource footprints. The class of combinatorial filters (discrete variants of widely-used probabilistic estimators) has been studied and methods for reducing their space…

Given a set $P$ of points and a set $U$ of axis-parallel unit squares in the Euclidean plane, a minimum ply cover of $P$ with $U$ is a subset of $U$ that covers $P$ and minimizes the number of squares that share a common intersection,…

This paper formulates a necessary and sufficient condition for a generic graph matching problem to be equivalent to the maximum vertex and edge weight clique problem in a derived association graph. The consequences of this results are…

There is a remarkable connection between the maximum clique number and the Lagrangian of a graph given by T. S. Motzkin and E.G. Straus in 1965. This connection and its extensions were successfully employed in optimization to provide…

Maximal clique enumeration (MCE) is a fundamental problem in graph theory and is used in many applications, such as social network analysis, bioinformatics, intelligent agent systems, cyber security, etc. Most existing MCE algorithms focus…

In this paper we modify an algorithm for updating a maximal clique enumeration after an edge insertion to provide an algorithm that runs in linear time with respect to the number of cliques containing one of the edge's endpoints, whereas…

We show that there is a minimal pair in the nonuniform generic degrees, and hence also in the uniform generic degrees. This fact contrasts with Igusa's result that there are no minimal pairs for relative generic computability, and answers a…

Censor-Hillel et al. [PODC'15] recently showed how to efficiently implement centralized algebraic algorithms for matrix multiplication in the congested clique model, a model of distributed computing that has received increasing attention in…

Cluster deletion is an NP-hard graph clustering objective with applications in computational biology and social network analysis, where the goal is to delete a minimum number of edges to partition a graph into cliques. We first provide a…
