Let be a G-symmetric graph, and let B be a nontrivial G-invariant partition of the vertex set of . This paper aims to characterize (, G) under the conditions that the quotient gr...
In this paper, we first generalize a recent statistical color image segmentation algorithm [5] to arbitrary graphs, and report its performance for 2D images, 3D meshes and volume...
We show that computing the lexicographically first four-coloring for planar graphs is p 2hard. This result optimally improves upon a result of Khuller and Vazirani who prove this ...
We introduce Multi-Trials, a new technique for symmetry breaking for distributed algorithms and apply it to various problems in general graphs. For instance, we present three rand...
We discuss fast exponential time solutions for NP-complete problems. We survey known results and approaches, we provide pointers to the literature, and we discuss several open prob...
