Improved competitive ratio for the matroid secretary problem
The Matroid Secretary Problem, introduced by Babaioff et al. (2007), is a generalization of the Classical Secretary Problem. In this problem, elements from a matroid are presente...

Secret Sharing Schemes for Very Dense Graphs
A secret-sharing scheme realizes a graph if every two vertices connected by an edge can reconstruct the secret while every independent set in the graph does not get any informatio...

Ramsey Numbers of Some Bipartite Graphs Versus Complete Graphs
The Ramsey number r(H, Kn) is the smallest positive integer N such that every graph of order N contains either a copy of H or an independent set of size n. The Tur´an number ex(m,...

Independent sets in Steiner triple systems
A set of points in a Steiner triple system (STS(v)) is said to be independent if no three of these points occur in the same block. In this paper we derive for each k 8 a closed f...

On graphs with subgraphs having large independence numbers
: Let G be a graph on n vertices in which every induced subgraph on s = log3 n vertices has an independent set of size at least t = log n. What is the largest q = q(n) so that ever...

A Note on the Use of Independent Sets for the k-SAT Problem
An independent set of variables is one in which no two variables occur in the same clause in a given k-SAT instance. Recently, independent sets have obtained more attention. Due t...

A note on regular Ramsey graphs
We prove that there is an absolute constant C > 0 so that for every natural n there exists a trianglefree regular graph with no independent set of size at least C n log n.

Shortest paths between shortest paths and independent sets
We study problems of reconguration of shortest paths in graphs. We prove that the shortest reconguration sequence can be exponential in the size of the graph and that it is NP-hard...

Delaunay graphs of point sets in the plane with respect to axis-parallel rectangles
Given a point set P in the plane, the Delaunay graph with respect to axis-parallel rectangles is a graph defined on the vertex set P, whose two points p, q P are connected by an ...

Improved Approximation Guarantees through Higher Levels of SDP Hierarchies
For every fixed 0, we give an algorithm that, given an n-vertex 3-uniform hypergraph containing an independent set of size n, finds an independent set of size n(2 ) . This improv...
