The graph partitioning problem is a well-known NP-hard problem. In this paper, we formulate a 0-1 quadratic integer programming model for the graph partitioning problem with vertex weight constraints and fixed vertex constraints, and…

The $2$-Edge-Connected Spanning Subgraph problem (2-ECSS) is one of the most fundamental and well-studied problems in the context of network design. In the problem, we are given an undirected graph $G$, and the objective is to find a…

Given a graph with edge costs, the {\em power} of a node is themaximum cost of an edge incident to it, and the power of a graph is the sum of the powers of its nodes. Motivated by applications in wireless networks, we consider the following…

We tackle the problem of graph partitioning for image segmentation using correlation clustering (CC), which we treat as an integer linear program (ILP). We reformulate optimization in the ILP so as to admit efficient optimization via…

Given a graph $G$, a non-negative integer $k$, and a weight function that maps each vertex in $G$ to a positive real number, the \emph{Maximum Weighted Budgeted Independent Set (MWBIS) problem} is about finding a maximum weighted…

We study the approximability of an existing framework for clustering edge-colored hypergraphs, which is closely related to chromatic correlation clustering and is motivated by machine learning and data mining applications where the goal is…

We provide a comprehensive study of a natural geometric optimization problem motivated by questions in the context of satellite communication and astrophysics. In the problem Minimum Scan Cover with Angular Costs (MSC), we are given a graph…

Minimum Weight Cycle (MWC) is the problem of finding a simple cycle of minimum weight in a graph $G=(V,E)$. This is a fundamental graph problem with classical sequential algorithms that run in $\tilde{O}(n^3)$ and $\tilde{O}(mn)$ time where…

We give a fully polynomial randomized approximation scheme to compute a lower bound for the matching polynomial of any weighted graph at a positive argument. For the matching polynomial of complete bipartite graphs with bounded weights…

A square-root-free matrix QR decomposition (QRD) scheme was rederived in [1] based on [2] to simplify computations when solving least-squares (LS) problems on embedded systems. The scheme of [1] aims at eliminating both the square-root and…

We study an NP-hard problem motivated by energy-efficiently maintaining the connectivity of a symmetric wireless communication network: Given an edge-weighted $n$-vertex graph, find a connected spanning subgraph of minimum cost, where the…

This note uses the Total Least-Squares (TLS) line-fitting problem as a canvas to explore some modern optimization tools. The contribution is meant to be tutorial in nature. The TLS problem has a lot of mathematical similarities to important…

In this paper, we consider the problem of recovering random graph signals with complex values. For general Bayesian estimation of complex-valued vectors, it is known that the widely-linear minimum mean-squared-error (WLMMSE) estimator can…

We study the stable matching problem in non-bipartite graphs with incomplete but strict preference lists, where the edges have weights and the goal is to compute a stable matching of minimum or maximum weight. This problem is known to be…

In the Survivable Network Design Problem (SNDP), the input is an edge-weighted (di)graph $G$ and an integer $r_{uv}$ for every pair of vertices $u,v\in V(G)$. The objective is to construct a subgraph $H$ of minimum weight which contains…

Network enrichment analysis methods allow to identify active modules without being biased towards a priori defined pathways. One of mathematical formulations of such analysis is a reduction to a maximum-weight connected subgraph problem. In…

We introduce multiple symmetric LP relaxations for minimum cut problems. The relaxations give optimal and approximate solutions when the input is a Hamiltonian cycle. We show that this leads to one of two interesting results. In one case,…

We consider the CONGEST model on a network with $n$ nodes, $m$ edges, diameter $D$, and integer costs and capacities bounded by $\text{poly} n$. In this paper, we show how to find an exact solution to the minimum cost flow problem in…

This work proposes a mixed learning-based and optimization-based approach to the weighted-sum-rates beamforming problem in a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless network. The conventional methods, i.e., the fractional programming…

This paper presents a near-optimal distributed approximation algorithm for the minimum-weight connected dominating set (MCDS) problem. The presented algorithm finds an $O(\log n)$ approximation in $\tilde{O}(D+\sqrt{n})$ rounds, where $D$…
