Covering minimum spanning trees of random subgraphs
We consider the problem of finding a sparse set of edges containing the minimum spanning tree (MST) of a random subgraph of G with high probability. The two random models that we ...

Solving Sparse Random Instances of Max Cut and Max 2-CSP in Linear Expected Time
Abstract. We show that a maximum cut of a random graph below the giantcomponent threshold can be found in linear space and linear expected time by a simple algorithm. In fact, the ...

The Largest Compatible Subset Problem for Phylogenetic Data
Abstract. The phylogenetic tree construction is to infer the evolutionary relationship between species from the experimental data. However, the experimental data are often imperfec...

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...

Coloring Sparse Random k-Colorable Graphs in Polynomial Expected Time
Abstract. Feige and Kilian [5] showed that finding reasonable approximative solutions to the coloring problem on graphs is hard. This motivates the quest for algorithms that eithe...
