Edge contraction is shown to be a useful mechanism to improve lower bound heuristics for treewidth. A successful lower bound for treewidth is the degeneracy: the maximum over all ...

—We prove new lower bounds in the area of property testing of boolean functions. Specifically, we study the problem of testing whether a boolean function f is isomorphic to a ...
We prove new results on evasiveness of monotone graph properties by extending the techniques of Kahn, Saks, and Sturtevant [Combinatorica, 4 (1984), pp. 297–306]. For the propert...
We present a deterministic way of assigning small (log bit) weights to the edges of a bipartite planar graph so that the minimum weight perfect matching becomes unique. The isolati...
A biclique is a complete bipartite subgraph of a graph. This paper investigates the fractional biclique cover number, bc(G), and the fractional biclique partition number, bp(G), o...
