Inapproximability of Vertex Cover and Independent Set in Bounded Degree Graphs
We study the inapproximability of Vertex Cover and Independent Set on degree d graphs. We prove that: • Vertex Cover is Unique Games-hard to approximate to within a factor 2−(...

Designing an A* Algorithm for Calculating Edit Distance between Rooted-Unordered Trees
Tree structures are useful for describing and analyzing biological objects and processes. Consequently, there is a need to design metrics and algorithms to compare trees. A natura...

Tight Bounds for Wavelength Assignment on Trees of Rings
: A fundamental problem in communication networks is wavelength assignment (WA): given a set of routing paths on a network, assign a wavelength to each path such that the paths wit...

A Regularity Lemma, and Low-Weight Approximators, for Low-Degree Polynomial Threshold Functions
We give a “regularity lemma” for degree-d polynomial threshold functions (PTFs) over the Boolean cube {−1, 1}n . Roughly speaking, this result shows that every degree-d PTF ...

Efficient Enumeration of Phylogenetically Informative Substrings
We study the problem of enumerating substrings that are common amongst genomes that share evolutionary descent. For example, one might want to enumerate all identical (therefore co...
