How well can the maximum size of an independent set, or the minimum size of a dominating set of a graph in which all degrees are at most d be approximated by a randomized constant...
We give a polynomial-time algorithm for the following problem: Given a degree sequence in which each degree is bounded from above by a constant, select, uniformly at random, an un...
We consider the problem of finding a sparse set of edges containing the minimum spanning tree (MST) of a random subgraph of G with high probability. The two random models that we ...
Dense subgraphs of sparse graphs (communities), which appear in most real-world complex networks, play an important role in many contexts. Computing them however is generally expe...
Automatically identifying the polarity of words is a very important task in Natural Language Processing. It has applications in text classification, text filtering, analysis of pr...
