We study the problem of local search on a graph. Given a real-valued black-box function f on the graph's vertices, this is the problem of determining a local minimum of f--a v...
Given a graph G, we say S V (G) is resolving if for each pair of distinct u, v V (G) there is a vertex x in S where d(u, x) = d(v, x). The metric dimension of G is the minimum c...
We present a search space analysis and its application in improving local search algorithms for the graph coloring problem. Using a classical distance measure between colorings, w...

Large scale real-world network data such as social and information networks are ubiquitous. The study of such social and information networks seeks to find patterns and explain th...
Boolean satisfiability problems are an important benchmark for questions about complexity, algorithms, heuristics and threshold phenomena. Recent work on heuristics, and the satis...
