Semidefinite programs (SDP) have been used in many recent approximation algorithms. We develop a general primal-dual approach to solve SDPs using a generalization of the well-know...
Abstract. Determining the integrality gap of the bidirected cut relaxation for the metric Steiner tree problem, and exploiting it algorithmically, is a long-standing open problem. ...

Graphs are among the most frequently used structures in Computer Science. In this work, we analyze how we can express some important graph properties such as connectivity, acyclic...
A local graph partitioning algorithm finds a cut near a specified starting vertex, with a running time that depends largely on the size of the small side of the cut, rather than...
Graph clustering (also called graph partitioning) -- clustering the nodes of a graph -- is an important problem in diverse data mining applications. Traditional approaches involve...
