The maximum number of triangles in graphs without the square of a path

Yichen Wang, Ervin Győri

The generalized Turán number for of , denoted by $\ex(n,H,G)$, is the maximum number of copies of in an -vertex -free graph. When is an edge, $\ex(n,H,G)$ is…

Learning to Optimize via Wasserstein Deep Inverse Optimal Control

Yichen Wang, Le Song, Hongyuan Zha

We study the inverse optimal control problem in social sciences: we aim at learning a user's true cost function from the observed temporal behavior. In contrast to traditional phen…

Inversion diameter and treewidth

Yichen Wang, Haozhe Wang, Yuxuan Yang +1

In an oriented graph , the inversion of a subset of vertices is the operation that reverses the orientation of all arcs with both end-vertices in . The i…
