Paths and Intersections: Repelling Pairs

arXiv:2607.02883v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study two inverse problems for shortest-path metrics of Okamura-Seymour instances: recognizing metrics realizable by outerplanar graphs, and computing minimum-edge…

Navigating Small-World Networks with Distance Predictions

arXiv:2609.10885v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The small-world phenomenon was given an algorithmic foundation by Kleinberg, who showed that in an augmented $k$-dimensional lattice a decentralized greedy algorithm…

Paths and Intersections: Recognizing Outerplanar Metrics

arXiv:2606.25827v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study the following distance realization problem: given a metric $D$ on a set $T$ of terminals, does there exist an (edge-weighted) outerplanar graph $G$, such that…

Streaming Algorithms for Monotonicity Testing

arXiv:2608.07073v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Consider a poset - or equivalently an $n$-vertex DAG $G=(V, E)$ - and a boolean function $f: V \rightarrow \{0, 1\}$ on its vertex set. We say $f$ is monotone if $f(u)…

Tackling Parallelization Challenges of Randomized Preconditioners With Dependency Tracking

arXiv:2505.02977v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Incomplete Cholesky (IC) preconditioners are the standard black-box, memory-efficient first resort for large graph Laplacian systems, but classical IC can break…

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

arXiv:2609.03890v2 Announce Type: replace 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…

A Deadline-Driven Algorithm for Polyamorous Scheduling

arXiv:2609.10641v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In Polyamorous Scheduling Problem, we are given an edge-weighted graph and must find a periodic schedule of matchings in this graph which minimizes the maximal weighted…

Free-Probabilistic State Evolution and Random Matrix Discrepancy

arXiv:2609.11836v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Let $A_1,\ldots,A_n$ be independent $d \times d$ real symmetric Gaussian random matrices, and consider the linear operator $A(x) = n^{-1/2}\sum_{i=1}^n x_i A_i$, $x\in…

Approximation guarantees for Hub Covering Problems

arXiv:2503.02566v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Hub Covering Problems are a subclass of Hub Location Problems. The objective is to select a set of hubs that enable paths between given origin-destination delivery…

Distinguishing Graphs by Counting Homomorphisms from Sparse Graphs

arXiv:2601.18602v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Lov\'asz (1967) showed that two graphs $G$ and $H$ are isomorphic if, and only if, they are homomorphism indistinguishable over all graphs, i.e., $G$ and $H$…

Sharp Embeddings of Layer-Rainbow Cubes and Orthogonal Pairs

arXiv:2209.06404v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We determine the exact extension threshold for one-factorizations of complete tripartite $3$-uniform hypergraphs. Equivalently, for $n>m$, every order-$m$…
