Enumerating Spanning and Connected Subsets in Graphs and Matroids
We show that enumerating all minimal spanning and connected subsets of a given matroid is quasi-polynomially equivalent to the well-known hypergraph transversal problem, and thus ...

Bidimensionality and Kernels
Bidimensionality theory appears to be a powerful framework in the development of meta-algorithmic techniques. It was introduced by Demaine et al. [J. ACM 2005 ] as a tool to obtai...

Weakly learning DNF and characterizing statistical query learning using Fourier analysis
We present new results on the well-studied problem of learning DNF expressions. We prove that an algorithm due to Kushilevitz and Mansour [13] can be used to weakly learn DNF form...

An analysis of feasible solutions for multi-issue negotiation involving nonlinear utility functions
This paper analyzes bilateral multi-issue negotiation between selfinterested agents. Specifically, we consider the case where issues are divisible, there are time constraints in ...

PTAS for maximum weight independent set problem with random weights in bounded degree graphs
Finding the largest independent set in a graph is a notoriously difficult NP-complete combinatorial optimization problem. Moreover, even for graphs with largest degree 3, no polyn...
