An exact almost optimal algorithm for target set selection in social networks
The Target Set Selection problem proposed by Kempe, Kleinberg, and Tardos, gives a nice clean combinatorial formulation for many problems arising in economy, sociology, and medicin...

Optimal Randomized Algorithms for Local Sorting and Set-Maxima
We present randomized algorithms for two sorting problems. In the local sorting problem, a graph is given in which each vertex is assigned an element of a total order, and the task...

Equivalence of local treewidth and linear local treewidth and its algorithmic applications
We solve an open problem posed by Eppstein in 1995 [14, 15] and re-enforced by Grohe [16, 17] concerning locally bounded treewidth in minor-closed families of graphs. A graph has ...

Constant-Time Approximation Algorithms via Local Improvements
We present a technique for transforming classical approximation algorithms into constant-time algorithms that approximate the size of the optimal solution. Our technique is applic...
