A Sharp PageRank Algorithm with Applications to Edge Ranking and Graph Sparsification
We give an improved algorithm for computing personalized PageRank vectors with tight error bounds which can be as small as (n-p ) for any fixed positive integer p. The improved Pag...

The Geometric Protean Model for On-Line Social Networks
We introduce a new geometric, rank-based model for the link structure of on-line social networks (OSNs). In the geo-protean (GEO-P) model for OSNs nodes are identified with points ...

Modeling Traffic on the Web Graph
Abstract. Analysis of aggregate and individual Web requests shows that PageRank is a poor predictor of traffic. We use empirical data to characterize properties of Web traffic not ...

Game-Theoretic Models of Information Overload in Social Networks
We study the effect of information overload on user engagement in an asymmetric social network like Twitter. We introduce simple game-theoretic models that capture rate competition...

How to Play Unique Games on Expanders
In this paper, we improve a result by Arora, Khot, Kolla, Steurer, Tulsiani, and Vishnoi on solving the Unique Games problem on expanders. Given a (1-)-satisfiable instance of Uniq...

Lower Bounds for Smith's Rule in Stochastic Machine Scheduling
We consider the problem to minimize the weighted sum of completion times in nonpreemptive parallel machine scheduling. In a landmark paper from 1986, Kawaguchi and Kyan [5] showed ...

Strategic Multiway Cut and Multicut Games
We consider cut games where players want to cut themselves off from different parts of a network. These games arise when players want to secure themselves from areas of potential i...

Approximation Algorithms for Domination Search
The r-domination search game on graphs is a game-theoretical approach to several graph and hypergraph parameters including treewidth and hypertree width. The task is to identify t...
