Representing Groups on Graphs
In this paper we first explore the group theoretic techniques developed for graph isomorphism. We specifically discuss the techniques developed by Luks for solving constrained v...

Time-Bounded Kolmogorov Complexity and Solovay Functions
Abstract. A Solovay function is a computable upper bound g for prefixfree Kolmogorov complexity K that is nontrivial in the sense that g agrees with K, up to some additive constan...

An Improved Approximation Bound for Spanning Star Forest and Color Saving
We present a simple algorithm for the maximum spanning star forest problem. We take advantage of the fact that the problem is a special case of complementary set cover and we adapt...

Sampling Edge Covers in 3-Regular Graphs
An edge cover C of an undirected graph is a set of edges such that every vertex has an adjacent edge in C. We show that a Glauber dynamics Markov chain for edge covers mixes rapidl...

Towards a Dichotomy of Finding Possible Winners in Elections Based on Scoring Rules
Abstract. To make a joint decision, agents (or voters) are often required to provide their preferences as linear orders. To determine a winner, the given linear orders can be aggre...

The Cost of Stability in Network Flow Games
The core of a cooperative game contains all stable distributions of a coalition’s gains among its members. However, some games have an empty core, with every distribution being ...

Balanced Paths in Colored Graphs
We consider finite graphs whose edges are labeled with elements, called colors, taken from a fixed finite alphabet. We study the problem of determining whether there is an infi...

Synthesis for Structure Rewriting Systems
Abstract. The description of a single state of a modelled system is often complex in practice, but few procedures for synthesis address this problem in depth. We study systems in w...
