A $59/33$ Cut-LP Guarantee for Matching Augmentation

A new structural analysis of the Bamas--Drygala--Svensson LP-guided DFS algorithm is given, which combines an exact primal--dual identity for the residual uplink problem with a rank bound that measures fractional support relative to the unit-valued skeleton.

Faster high-accuracy multicommodity flow in dense graphs

We give a fast algorithm for solving min-cost $k$-commodity flow. The basic idea is to construct an auxiliary linear program that has low rank and whose minimum value is at most $1/k$ times the minimum value of the original problem (thus, solving this auxiliary linear program will make at least $1/k$ fraction of progre...

On the Best Interval Approximation Problem

This paper generalises the existing PTAS for complete graphs from a fixed to an arbitrary number of intervals and disprove an existing conjecture, which states that every instance of BIA admits a solution satisfying at least three quarters of all edges.

Improved Exact Algorithm for Finding a Maximum Exploratory Equivalent Partition

An exploratory equivalent partition (EE partition) of a graph G with nontrivial automorphisms is a partition of its vertex set that can be directly translated into a set of constraints to speed up the search for occurrences of G in an arbitrary host graph. The maximum EE partition problem is to find an EE partition lea...

HP-MC: Quickly Computing Maximum Clique Sizes of Large Sparse Graphs

This work presents a novel algorithm named HP-MC that, like prior approaches, is based on the branch and bound search, but which outperforms the leading maximum clique codes on large sparse graphs of various topologies by up to 10x on average.
