Cutting Planarians: Planar Emulators for String Graphs
Hsien-Chih Chang, Jonathan Conroy, Zihan Tan +1
In this paper we construct distance sketches for intersection graphs of arbitrary path-connected regions in the plane (known as the string graphs) in the constant and $1+\varepsilo…
Charting the Diameter Computation Landscape on Intersection Graphs in the Plane
Timothy M. Chan, Hsien-Chih Chang, Jie Gao +3
Computing the diameter of the intersection graphs of objects is a basic problem in computational geometry. Previous works showed that the complexity of computing the diameter mainl…
Max Cut with Small-Dimensional SDP Solutions
Hsien-Chih Chang, Suprovat Ghoshal, Euiwoong Lee
We study the Max-Cut semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxation in the regime where a near-optimal solution admits a low-dimensional realization. While the Goemans--Williamson hyper…
DAG Covers: The Steiner Point Effect
Sujoy Bhore, Hsien-Chih Chang, Jonathan Conroy +4
Given a weighted digraph , a -DAG cover is a collection of dominating DAGs such that all distances are approximately preserved: for every pair $(u,…
Single-Criteria Metric -Dominating Set Problem via Minor-Preserving Support
Reilly Browne, Hsien-Chih Chang
Given an unweighted graph , the *minimum -dominating set problem* asks for the smallest-cardinality subset such that every vertex in is within radius of some vert…
Charting the Diameter Computation Landscape of Geometric Intersection Graphs in Three Dimensions and Higher
Timothy M. Chan, Hsien-Chih Chang, Jie Gao +3
Recent research on computing the diameter of geometric intersection graphs has made significant strides, primarily focusing on the 2D case where truly subquadratic-time algorithms…
