The problem of computing a maximum a posteriori (MAP) configuration is a central computational challenge associated with Markov random fields. There has been some focus on “tr...

We study oblivious routing in which the packet paths are constructed independently of each other. We give a simple oblivious routing algorithm for geometric networks in which the ...
Submodular function maximization is a central problem in combinatorial optimization, generalizing many important problems including Max Cut in directed/undirected graphs and in hy...

We analyze the properties of Small-World networks, where links are much more likely to connect “neighbor nodes” than distant nodes. In particular, our analysis provides new re...
We propose an efficient and novel approach for discovering communities in real-world random networks. Communities are formed by subsets of nodes in a graph, which are closely rela...
