Expander flows, geometric embeddings and graph partitioning
We give a O( log n)-approximation algorithm for sparsest cut, edge expansion, balanced separator, and graph conductance problems. This improves the O(log n)-approximation of Leig...

Approximating Acyclicity Parameters of Sparse Hypergraphs
The notions of hypertree width and generalized hypertree width were introduced by Gottlob, Leone, and Scarcello in order to extend the concept of hypergraph acyclicity. These noti...

Algorithms for Finding Distance-Edge-Colorings of Graphs
For a bounded integer , we wish to color all edges of a graph G so that any two edges within distance have different colors. Such a coloring is called a distance-edge-coloring or ...

On Tractable Cases of Target Set Selection
We study the NP-complete TARGET SET SELECTION (TSS) problem occurring in social network analysis. Complementing results on its approximability and extending results for its restric...

Approximation algorithms via contraction decomposition
We prove that the edges of every graph of bounded (Euler) genus can be partitioned into any prescribed number k of pieces such that contracting any piece results in a graph of bou...
