The 11/6 supremum of the Wang-Sitters rounding scheme for graph balancing

arXiv:2609.03890v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Wang and Sitters' 11/6-approximation for graph balancing is not one algorithm but a set of permitted executions: Step 1 may return any feasible solution of the relaxation…

SparseStack Is an Optimal Oblivious Subspace Embedding

arXiv:2609.02978v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The fully independent SparseStack sketch is a vertical stack of $s$ independent CountSketch matrices, scaled by $s^{-1/2}$, so that every column has exactly $s$ nonzero…

Colorful Minors

arXiv:2507.10467v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We introduce the notion of colorful minors, which generalizes the classical concept of rooted minors in graphs. A $q$-colorful graph= is defined as a pair $(G,…

Two-State Max-Plus Comparison Is Decidable

arXiv:2609.00678v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Daviaud, Guillon, and Merlet proved that comparison of max-plus automata is undecidable under a fixed state bound of 553 and explicitly left the range from 2 to…

The Popular Dimension of Matchings

arXiv:2509.25150v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study popular matchings in three classical settings: the house allocation problem, the marriage problem, and the roommates problem. In the popular matching…

Approximation algorithms for the square min-sum bin packing problem

arXiv:2307.06776v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: In this work, we study the Square Min-Sum Bin Packing Problem (SMSBPP), where a list of $n$ square items has to be packed into square bins of dimensions $1 \times 1$…

Long induced paths in sparse graphs and graphs with forbidden patterns

arXiv:2411.08685v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Consider a graph $G$ with a path $P$ of order $n$. What conditions force $G$ to also have a long induced path? As complete bipartite graphs have long paths but…
