Let G be a d-regular graph with girth g, and let α be the independence number of G. We show that α(G) ≥ 1 2 1 − (d − 1)−2/(d−2) − (g) n where (g) → 0 as g → ∞,...
The Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm is a popular tool in statistical estimation problems involving incomplete data or in problems which can be posed in a similar form, suc...
Let S be a set of n points in IRd and let t > 1 be a real number. A t-spanner for S is a directed graph having the points of S as its vertices, such that for any pair p and q o...
