Fast Routing in Very Large Public Transportation Networks Using Transfer Patterns
We show how to route on very large public transportation networks (up to half a billion arcs) with average query times of a few milliseconds. We take into account many realistic fe...

Determining Edge Expansion and Other Connectivity Measures of Graphs of Bounded Genus
In this paper, we show that for an n-vertex graph G of genus g, the edge expansion of G can be determined in time nO(g2 ) . We show that the same is true for various other similar ...

Algorithmic Meta-theorems for Restrictions of Treewidth
Abstract. Possibly the most famous algorithmic meta-theorem is Courcelle's theorem, which states that all MSO-expressible graph properties are decidable in linear time for gra...

Estimating the Average of a Lipschitz-Continuous Function from One Sample
We study the problem of estimating the average of a Lipschitz continuous function f defined over a metric space, by querying f at only a single point. More specifically, we explore...

The Robustness of Level Sets
We define the robustness of a level set homology class of a function f : X R as the magnitude of a perturbation necessary to kill the class. Casting this notion into a group theor...

The Geodesic Diameter of Polygonal Domains
This paper studies the geodesic diameter of polygonal domains having h holes and n corners. For simple polygons (i.e., h = 0), it is known that the geodesic diameter is determined...
