Primal-dual meets local search: approximating MST's with nonuniform degree bounds
We present a new bicriteria approximation algorithm for the degree-bounded minimum-cost spanning tree problem: Given an undirected graph with nonnegative edge weights and degree b...

On sums of independent random variables with unbounded variance, and estimating the average degree in a graph
We prove the following inequality: for every positive integer n and every collection X1, . . . , Xn of nonnegative independent random variables that each has expectation 1, the pr...

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...

Web graph similarity for anomaly detection (poster)
Web graphs are approximate snapshots of the web, created by search engines. Their creation is an error-prone procedure that relies on the availability of Internet nodes and the fa...
