A Separator Theorem for Graphs with an Excluded Minor and its Applications
ions (Extended Abstract) Noga Alon Paul Seymour Robin Thomas Let G be an n-vertex graph with nonnegative weights whose sum is 1 assigned to its vertices, and with no minor isomorp...

On the geometry of graphs with a forbidden minor
We study the topological simplification of graphs via random embeddings, leading ultimately to a reduction of the Gupta-Newman-Rabinovich-Sinclair (GNRS) L1 embedding conjecture t...

The Non-Crossing Graph
Two sets are non-crossing if they are disjoint or one contains the other. The noncrossing graph NCn is the graph whose vertex set is the set of nonempty subsets of [n] = {1, . . ....

Improved Approximations of Independent Sets in Bounded-Degree Graphs
Abstract. Finding maximum independent sets in graphs with bounded maximum degree is a well-studied NP-complete problem. We introduce an algorithm schema for improving the approxim...

On the chromatic number of random geometric graphs
Given independent random points X1, . . . , Xn ∈ Rd with common probability distribution ν, and a positive distance r = r(n) > 0, we construct a random geometric graph Gn wi...
