We present a novel message passing algorithm for approximating the MAP problem in graphical models. The algorithm is similar in structure to max-product but unlike max-product it ...
We investigate the end spaces of infinite dual graphs. We show that there exists a natural homeomorphism between the end spaces of a graph and its dual, and that this homeomorphis...
Abstract— We develop a general framework for MAP estimation in discrete and Gaussian graphical models using Lagrangian relaxation techniques. The key idea is to reformulate an in...

The packing chromatic number (G) of a graph G is the least integer k for which there exists a mapping f from V (G) to {1, 2, . . ., k} such that any two vertices of color i
We conjecture that every planar graph of odd-girth 2k + 1 admits a homomorphism to Cayley graph C(Z2k+1 2 , S2k+1), with S2k+1 being the set of (2k + 1)vectors with exactly two co...
