We consider a generalization of the shortest-path problem: given an alphabet , a graph G whose edges are weighted and -labeled, and a regular language L , the L-constrained shortes...

We give a randomized protocol for the classic cake cutting problem that guarantees approximate proportional fairness, and with high probability uses a linear number of cuts.
Many recommendation systems suggest items to users by utilizing the techniques of collaborative filtering (CF) based on historical records of items that the users have viewed, purc...

We present a polynomial-time approximation algorithm for legally coloring as many edges of a given simple graph as possible using two colors. It achieves an approximation ratio of ...
For digraphs D and H, a mapping f : V (D)→V (H) is a homomorphism of D to H if uv ∈ A(D) implies f(u)f(v) ∈ A(H). If, moreover, each vertex u ∈ V (D) is associated with co...
A promising approach to compare two graph clusterings is based on using measurements for calculating the distance between them. Existing measures either use the structure of cluste...
We study the combinatorial properties of optimal refueling policies, which specify the transportation paths and the refueling operations along the paths to minimize the total trans...
This paper deals with the maximum triangle packing problem. For this problem, Hassin and Rubinstein gave a randomized polynomial-time approximation algorithm that achieves an expe...
