The known constructions of negligible error (non-malleable) two-source extractors can be broadly classified in three categories: (1) Constructions where one source has min-entropy rate about $1/2$, the other source can have small…
Tip decomposition is a crucial kernel for mining dense subgraphs in bipartite networks, with applications in spam detection, analysis of affiliation networks etc. It creates a hierarchy of vertex-induced subgraphs with varying densities…
A graph is rectilinear planar if it admits a planar orthogonal drawing without bends. While testing rectilinear planarity is NP-hard in general (Garg and Tamassia, 2001), it is a long-standing open problem to establish a tight upper bound…
Denote by $A$ the adjacency matrix of an Erdos-Renyi graph with bounded average degree. We consider the problem of maximizing $\langle A-E\{A\},X\rangle$ over the set of positive semidefinite matrices $X$ with diagonal entries $X_{ii}=1$.…
We study graph orientations that minimize the entropy of the in-degree sequence. The problem of finding such an orientation is an interesting special case of the minimum entropy set cover problem previously studied by Halperin and Karp…
We consider the task of detecting a hidden bipartite subgraph in a given random graph. This is formulated as a hypothesis testing problem, under the null hypothesis, the graph is a realization of an Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi random graph over $n$…
Given a set of discrete probability distributions, the minimum entropy coupling is the minimum entropy joint distribution that has the input distributions as its marginals. This has immediate relevance to tasks such as entropic causal…
The Renyi entropy is a generalisation of the Shannon entropy that is sensitive to the fine details of a probability distribution. We present results for the Renyi entropy of the totally asymmetric exclusion process (TASEP). We calculate…
We propose the first general and scalable framework to design certifiable algorithms for robust geometric perception in the presence of outliers. Our first contribution is to show that estimation using common robust costs, such as truncated…
We consider 15 properties of labeled random graphs that are of interest in the graph-theoretical and the graph mining literature, such as clustering coefficients, centrality measures, spectral radius, degree assortativity, treedepth,…
The Planar Graph Metric Compression Problem is to compactly encode the distances among $k$ nodes in a planar graph of size $n$. Two na\"ive solutions are to store the graph using $O(n)$ bits, or to explicitly store the distance matrix with…
An edge cut C of a graph G is tight if |C \M| = 1 for every perfect matching M of G. Barrier-cuts and 2-separation cuts, also referred to as ELP-cuts, are two important types of tight cuts in matching covered graphs. Edmonds, Lovasz and…
We continue a line of work on extracting random bits from weak sources that are generated by simple processes. We focus on the model of locally samplable sources, where each bit in the source depends on a small number of (hidden) uniformly…
We investigate the Minimum Eccentricity Shortest Path problem in some structured graph classes. It asks for a given graph to find a shortest path with minimum eccentricity. Although it is NP-hard in general graphs, we demonstrate that a…
The Minimum Spanning Tree with Conflicting Edge Pairs is a generalization that adds conflict constraints to a classical optimization problem on graphs used to model several real-world applications. In the last few years several approaches,…
We study the parameterized complexity of Split Contraction and Threshold Contraction. In these problems we are given a graph G and an integer k and asked whether G can be modified into a split graph or a threshold graph, respectively, by…
The parallel product of two rooted maps was introduced by S. E. Wilson in 1994. The main question of this paper is whether for a given reflexible map $M$ one can decompose the map into a parallel product of two reflexible maps. This can be…
Subgraph pattern detection aims to uncover complex interaction structures in graphs. However, state-of-the-art graph neural network (GNN)-based solutions assume centralized access to the entire graph. When graphs are instead distributed…
Correlation analysis is a fundamental problem in statistics. In this paper, we consider the correlation detection problem between a pair of Erdos-Renyi graphs. Specifically, the problem is formulated as a hypothesis testing problem: under…
We study the square root bottleneck in the recovery of sparse vectors from quadratic equations. It is acknowledged that a sparse vector $ \mathbf x_0\in \mathbb{R}^n$, $\| \mathbf x_0\|_0 = k$ can in theory be recovered from as few as…
