We propose a fast approximate algorithm for large graph matching. A new projected fixed-point method is defined and a new doubly stochastic projection is adopted to derive the algorithm. Previous graph matching algorithms suffer from high…

We devise a deterministic algorithm for minimum Steiner cut, which uses $(\log n)^{O(1)}$ maximum flow calls and additional near-linear time. This algorithm improves on Li and Panigrahi's (FOCS 2020) algorithm, which uses $(\log…

We study maximum matchings in fully dynamic graphs, which are graphs that undergo both edge insertions and deletions. Our focus is on algorithms that estimate the size of maximum matching after each update while spending a small time. An…

Given n elements with nonnegative integer weights w1,..., wn and an integer capacity C, we consider the counting version of the classic knapsack problem: find the number of distinct subsets whose weights add up to at most the given…

We determine the computational complexity of approximately counting and sampling independent sets of a given size in bounded-degree graphs. That is, we identify a critical density $\alpha_c(\Delta)$ and provide (i) for $\alpha <…

We propose a deterministic algorithm for approximately counting the number of list colorings of a graph. Under the assumption that the graph is triangle free, the size of every list is at least $\alpha \Delta$, where $\alpha$ is an…

The goal of this paper is to understand how exponential-time approximation algorithms can be obtained from existing polynomial-time approximation algorithms, existing parameterized exact algorithms, and existing parameterized approximation…

We describe a deterministic algorithm that computes an approximate root of n complex polynomial equations in n unknowns in average polynomial time with respect to the size of the input, in the Blum-Shub-Smale model with square root. It…

Motivated by a sampling problem basic to computational statistical inference, we develop a nearly optimal algorithm for a fundamental problem in spectral graph theory and numerical analysis. Given an $n\times n$ SDDM matrix ${\bf…

The polynomial-time computability of the permanent over fields of characteristic 3 for k-semi-unitary matrices (i.e. square matrices such that the differences of their Gram matrices and the corresponding identity matrices are of rank k) in…

There is a digraph corresponding to every square matrix over $\mathbb{C}$. We generate a recurrence relation using the Laplace expansion to calculate the characteristic, and permanent polynomials of a square matrix. Solving this recurrence…

We give the first constant-factor approximation algorithm for quasi-bipartite instances of Directed Steiner Tree on graphs that exclude fixed minors. In particular, for $K_r$-minor-free graphs our approximation guarantee is…

We design fast deterministic algorithms for distance computation in the congested clique model. Our key contributions include: -- A $(2+\epsilon)$-approximation for all-pairs shortest paths in $O(\log^2{n} / \epsilon)$ rounds on unweighted…

We present the first polynomial-time approximation schemes, i.e., (1 + {\epsilon})-approximation algorithm for any constant {\epsilon} > 0, for the minimum three-edge connected spanning subgraph problem and the minimum three-vertex…

In this work, we study the problem of finding the maximum value of a non-negative submodular function subject to a limit on the number of items selected, a ubiquitous problem that appears in many applications, such as data summarization and…

We study the problem of maximizing a monotone submodular function subject to a matroid constraint and present a deterministic algorithm that achieves (1/2 + {\epsilon})-approximation for the problem. This algorithm is the first…

We introduce a novel algorithm for approximating the logarithm of the determinant of a symmetric positive definite (SPD) matrix. The algorithm is randomized and approximates the traces of a small number of matrix powers of a specially…

Given a set of points $P = (P^+ \sqcup P^-) \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ for some constant $d$ and a supply function $\mu:P\to \mathbb{R}$ such that $\mu(p) > 0~\forall p \in P^+$, $\mu(p) < 0~\forall p \in P^-$, and $\sum_{p\in P}{\mu(p)} = 0$,…

Computing the Euler genus of a graph is a fundamental problem in graph theory and topology. It has been shown to be NP-hard by [Thomassen '89] and a linear-time fixed-parameter algorithm has been obtained by [Mohar '99]. Despite extensive…

We provide an algorithm that maintains, against an adaptive adversary, a $(1-\varepsilon)$-approximate maximum matching in $n$-node $m$-edge general (not necessarily bipartite) undirected graph undergoing edge deletions with high…
