Submodular Approximation: Sampling-based Algorithms and Lower Bounds
We introduce several generalizations of classical computer science problems obtained by replacing simpler objective functions with general submodular functions. The new problems i...

Distance Oracles for Sparse Graphs
Abstract— Thorup and Zwick, in their seminal work, introduced the approximate distance oracle, which is a data structure that answers distance queries in a graph. For any integer...

Large independent sets in regular graphs of large girth
Let G be a d-regular graph with girth g, and let α be the independence number of G. We show that α(G) ≥ 1 2 1 − (d − 1)−2/(d−2) − (g) n where (g) → 0 as g → ∞,...

Reconfigurations in Graphs and Grids
Let G be a connected graph, and let V and V two n-element subsets of its vertex set V (G). Imagine that we place a chip at each element of V and we want to move them into the posi...

Approximating Maximum Flow in Polygonal Domains using Spanners
We study a maximum flow problem in a polygonal domain P: Determine the maximum number of disjoint "thick" paths (of specified width w) through P from a source edge to a ...
