We develop new structural results for apex-minor-free graphs and show their power by developing two new approximation algorithms. The first is an additive approximation for colorin...

In this paper we propose a novel approach to decentralised coordination, that is able to efficiently compute solutions with a guaranteed approximation ratio. Our approach is base...

We prove that the edges of every graph of bounded (Euler) genus can be partitioned into any prescribed number k of pieces such that contracting any piece results in a graph of bou...

A new framework is presented for both understanding and developing graph-cut based combinatorial algorithms suitable for the approximate optimization of a very wide class of MRFs ...
We consider models for bargaining in social networks, in which players are represented by vertices and edges represent bilateral opportunities for deals between pairs of players. ...
