We describe a new variational lower-bound on the minimum energy configuration of a planar binary Markov Random Field (MRF). Our method is based on adding auxiliary nodes to every...

This paper presents a construction of a minimum cycle basis for the direct product of two complete graphs on three or more vertices. With the exception of two special cases, such ...
We describe efficient algorithms for finding even cycles in undirected graphs. Our main results are the following: (i) For every k 2, there is an O(V 2) time algorithm that decide...
We describe the first algorithms to compute minimum cuts in surface-embedded graphs in near-linear time. Given an undirected graph embedded on an orientable surface of genus g, w...
