Distortion lower bounds for line embeddings
In this paper, we show how we can derive lower bounds and also compute the exact distortion for the line embeddings of some special metrics, especially trees and graphs with certai...

The hub number of a graph
A hub set in a graph G is a set U V (G) such that any two vertices outside U are connected by a path whose internal vertices lie in U. We prove that h(G) hc(G) c(G) h(G) + 1, ...

Turing degrees of reals of positive effective packing dimension
A relatively longstanding question in algorithmic randomness is Jan Reimann's question whether there is a Turing cone of broken dimension. That is, is there a real A such that...

On the tractability of coloring semirandom graphs
As part of the efforts put in understanding the intricacies of the k-colorability problem, different distributions over k-colorable graphs were analyzed. While the problem is notor...

A simpler competitive analysis for scheduling equal-length jobs on one machine with restarts
We consider the online problem of scheduling jobs with equal processing times on a single machine. Each job has a release time and a deadline, and the goal is to maximize the numb...

On isomorphisms and similarities between generalized Petersen networks and periodically regular chordal rings
Generalized Petersen (GP) networks and periodically regular chordal (PRC) rings have been proposed independently to ameliorate the high latency and extreme fragility of simple rin...
