Finding All Leftmost Separators of Size

Mahdi Belbasi, Martin Fürer

We define a notion called leftmost separator of size at most . A leftmost separator of size is a minimal separator that separates two given sets of vertices and …

An Improvement of Reed's Treewidth Approximation

Mahdi Belbasi, Martin Fürer

We present a new approximation algorithm for the treewidth problem which finds an upper bound on the treewidth and constructs a corresponding tree decomposition as well. Our algori…

A Space-efficient Parameterized Algorithm for the Hamiltonian Cycle Problem by Dynamic Algebraziation

Mahdi Belbasi, Martin Fürer

An NP-hard graph problem may be intractable for general graphs but it could be efficiently solvable using dynamic programming for graphs with bounded width (or depth or some other…

Saving Space by Dynamic Algebraization Based on Tree Decomposition: Minimum Dominating Set

Mahdi Belbasi, Martin Fürer

An algorithm is presented that solves the Minimum Dominating Set problem exactly using polynomial space based on dynamic programming for a tree decomposition. A direct application…

Eigenvalue location in graphs of small clique-width

Martin Fürer, Carlos Hoppen, David P. Jacobs +1

Finding a diagonal matrix congruent to for constants , where is the adjacency matrix of a graph allows us to quickly tell the number of eigenvalues in a given i…

On the Combinatorial Power of the Weisfeiler-Lehman Algorithm

Martin Fürer

The classical Weisfeiler-Lehman method WL[2] uses edge colors to produce a powerful graph invariant. It is at least as powerful in its ability to distinguish non-isomorphic graphs…

Faster Computation of Path-Width

Martin Fürer

Tree-width and path-width are widely successful concepts. Many NP-hard problems have efficient solutions when restricted to graphs of bounded tree-width. Many efficient algorithms…

Multi-Clique-Width

Martin Fürer

Multi-clique-width is obtained by a simple modification in the definition of clique-width. It has the advantage of providing a natural extension of tree-width. Unlike clique-width,…

Efficient Computation of the Characteristic Polynomial of a Threshold Graph

Martin Fürer

An efficient algorithm is presented to compute the characteristic polynomial of a threshold graph. Threshold graphs were introduced by Chvátal and Hammer, as well as by Henderson a…

Counting cliques and clique covers in random graphs

Kashyap Dixit, Martin Fürer

We study the problem of counting the number of {\em isomorphic} copies of a given {\em template} graph, say , in the input {\em base} graph, say . In general, it is believed…

Space Saving by Dynamic Algebraization

Martin Furer, Huiwen Yu

Dynamic programming is widely used for exact computations based on tree decompositions of graphs. However, the space complexity is usually exponential in the treewidth. We study th…

How Fast Can We Multiply Large Integers on an Actual Computer?

Martin Fürer

We provide two complexity measures that can be used to measure the running time of algorithms to compute multiplications of long integers. The random access machine with unit or lo…

A Natural Generalization of Bounded Tree-Width and Bounded Clique-Width

Martin Fürer

We investigate a new width parameter, the fusion-width of a graph. It is a natural generalization of the tree-width, yet strong enough that not only graphs of bounded tree-width, b…

Approximate the k-Set Packing Problem by Local Improvements

Martin Furer, Huiwen Yu

We study algorithms based on local improvements for the -Set Packing problem. The well-known local improvement algorithm by Hurkens and Schrijver has been improved by Sviridenko…

Packing-Based Approximation Algorithm for the k-Set Cover Problem

Martin Furer, Huiwen Yu

We present a packing-based approximation algorithm for the -Set Cover problem. We introduce a new local search-based -set packing heuristic, and call it Restricted -Set Pa…

An Exponential Time 2-Approximation Algorithm for Bandwidth

Martin Fürer, Serge Gaspers, Shiva Prasad Kasiviswanathan

The bandwidth of a graph G on n vertices is the minimum b such that the vertices of G can be labeled from 1 to n such that the labels of every pair of adjacent vertices differ by a…

Approximately Counting Embeddings into Random Graphs

Martin Furer, Shiva Prasad Kasiviswanathan

Let H be a graph, and let C_H(G) be the number of (subgraph isomorphic) copies of H contained in a graph G. We investigate the fundamental problem of estimating C_H(G). Previous re…

Spanners for Geometric Intersection Graphs

Martin Furer, Shiva Prasad Kasiviswanathan

Efficient algorithms are presented for constructing spanners in geometric intersection graphs. For a unit ball graph in R^k, a (1+ε)-spanner is obtained using efficient partitionin…
