Improved Inapproximability Results for Maximum k-Colorable Subgraph
We study the maximization version of the fundamental graph coloring problem. Here the goal is to color the vertices of a k-colorable graph with k colors so that a maximum fraction ...

Lower bounds for graph embeddings and combinatorial preconditioners
Given a general graph G, a fundamental problem is to find a spanning tree H that best approximates G by some measure. Often this measure is some combination of the congestion and...

Embedding ultrametrics into low-dimensional spaces
We study the problem of minimum-distortion embedding of ultrametrics into the plane and higher dimensional spaces. Ultrametrics are a natural class of metrics that frequently occu...

Spinto: High-performance energy minimization in spin glasses
—With the prospect of atomic-scale computing, we study cumulative energy profiles of spin-spin interactions in nonferromagnetic lattices (Ising spin-glasses)—an established to...

Computing Minimal Diagnoses by Greedy Stochastic Search
Most algorithms for computing diagnoses within a modelbased diagnosis framework are deterministic. Such algorithms guarantee soundness and completeness, but are P 2 hard. To overc...
