Abstract. Finding maximum independent sets in graphs with bounded maximum degree is a well-studied NP-complete problem. We introduce an algorithm schema for improving the approxim...
Given an integer s 0 and a permutation Sn, let ,s be the graph on n vertices {1, . . . , n} where two vertices i < j are adjacent if the permutation flips their order and th...
We show that there exists a linear time algorithm for deciding whether a graph of bounded tree-width has clique-width k for some fixed integer k. Communicated by Giuseppe Liotta ...
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...
We study ways to expedite Yates's algorithm for computing the zeta and Moebius transforms of a function defined on the subset lattice. We develop a trimmed variant of Moebius ...
