We introduce a novel stochastic local search algorithm for the vertex cover problem. Compared to current exhaustive search techniques, our algorithm achieves excellent performance ...
We introduce the s-Plex Editing problem generalizing the well-studied Cluster Editing problem, both being NP-hard and both being motivated by graph-based data clustering. Instead o...

This paper continues the investigation of the connection between probabilistically checkable proofs PCPs the approximability of NP-optimization problems. The emphasis is on prov...
We present an approach to studying the community structures of networks by using linear programming (LP). Starting with a network in terms of (a) a collection of nodes and (b) a co...

We introduce overlap cluster graph modification problems where, other than in most previous work, the clusters of the target graph may overlap. More precisely, the studied graph p...
