We consider the problem of testing graph expansion (either vertex or edge) in the bounded degree model [10]. We give a property tester that given a graph with degree bound d, an ex...
Abstract. We consider the problem of checking equivalence of conjunctive queries with inequalities under bag (multiset) semantics. The problem is known to be decidable in pspace an...
The Phylogenetic kth Root Problem (PRk) is the problem of finding a (phylogenetic) tree T from a given graph G = (V, E) such that (1) T has no degree-2 internal nodes, (2) the ex...
We analyze the addition of a simple local improvement step to various known randomized approximation algorithms. Let ' 0:87856 denote the best approximation ratio currently k...
Many parameterized algorithms for NP-hard graph problems are search tree algorithms with sophisticated local branching rules. But it has also been noticed that the global structur...
