Globally Optimizing Graph Partitioning Problems Using Message Passing
Graph partitioning algorithms play a central role in data analysis and machine learning. Most useful graph partitioning criteria correspond to optimizing a ratio between the cut a...

On Quadratic Programming with a Ratio Objective
Quadratic Programming (QP) is the well-studied problem of maximizing over {−1, 1} values the quadratic form i=j aijxixj. QP captures many known combinatorial optimization proble...

Improved Approximation for the Directed Spanner Problem
We present an O( √ n log n)-approximation algorithm for the problem of finding the sparsest spanner of a given directed graph G on n vertices. A spanner of a graph is a sparse ...

Approximating the Bandwidth of Caterpillars
A caterpillar is a tree in which all vertices of degree three or more lie on one path, called the backbone. We present a polynomial time algorithm that produces a linear arrangeme...

Randomly removing g handles at once
It was shown in [11] that any orientable graph of genus g can be probabilistically embedded into a graph of genus g − 1 with constant distortion. Removing handles one by one giv...
