Constant-Time Approximation Algorithms via Local Improvements
We present a technique for transforming classical approximation algorithms into constant-time algorithms that approximate the size of the optimal solution. Our technique is applic...

A Non-Markovian Coupling for Randomly Sampling Colorings
We study a simple Markov chain, known as the Glauber dynamics, for randomly sampling (proper) k-colorings of an input graph G on n vertices with maximum degree ∆ and girth g. We...

Orthogonal Drawings of Series-Parallel Graphs with Minimum Bends
In an orthogonal drawing of a planar graph G, each vertex is drawn as a point, each edge is drawn as a sequence of alternate horizontal and vertical line segments, and any two edge...

Compression via matroids: a randomized polynomial kernel for odd cycle transversal
The Odd Cycle Transversal problem (OCT) asks whether a given graph can be made bipartite by deleting at most k of its vertices. In a breakthrough result Reed, Smith, and Vetta (Op...

The Power of Orientation in Symmetry-Breaking
—Symmetry breaking is a fundamental operation in distributed computing. It has applications to important problems such as graph vertex and edge coloring, maximal independent sets...
