Approximate Inference on Planar Graphs using Loop Calculus and Belief Propagation
We introduce novel results for approximate inference on planar graphical models using the loop calculus framework. The loop calculus (Chertkov and Chernyak, 2006b) allows to expre...

Approximating Maximum Edge 2-Coloring in Simple Graphs Via Local Improvement
We present a polynomial-time approximation algorithm for legally coloring as many edges of a given simple graph as possible using two colors. It achieves an approximation ratio of ...

A Local 2-Approximation Algorithm for the Vertex Cover Problem
We present a distributed 2-approximation algorithm for the minimum vertex cover problem. The algorithm is deterministic, and it runs in (∆ + 1)2 synchronous communication rounds,...

Approximating the Minimum Spanning Tree Weight in Sublinear Time
We present a probabilistic algorithm that, given a connected graph G (represented by adjacency lists) of average degree d, with edge weights in the set {1, . . . , w}, and given a ...

Minimum Cost Data Aggregation with Localized Processing for Statistical Inference
—The problem of minimum cost in-network fusion of measurements, collected from distributed sensors via multihop routing is considered. A designated fusion center performs an opti...
