An Expansion Tester for Bounded Degree Graphs
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...

Inapproximability Results for Maximum Edge Biclique, Minimum Linear Arrangement, and Sparsest Cut
We consider the Minimum Linear Arrangement problem and the (Uniform) Sparsest Cut problem. So far, these two notorious NP-hard graph problems have resisted all attempts to prove in...
