A survey on the densest subgraph problem and its variants

T Lanciano, A Miyauchi, A Fazzone, F Bonchi - ACM Computing Surveys, 2024 - dl.acm.org
The Densest Subgraph Problem requires us to find, in a given graph, a subset of vertices
whose induced subgraph maximizes a measure of density. The problem has received a …

Almost-polynomial ratio ETH-hardness of approximating densest k-subgraph

P Manurangsi - Proceedings of the 49th Annual ACM SIGACT …, 2017 - dl.acm.org
In the Densest k-Subgraph (D k S) problem, given an undirected graph G and an integer k,
the goal is to find a subgraph of G on k vertices that contains maximum number of edges …

Settling the complexity of computing approximate two-player Nash equilibria

A Rubinstein - ACM SIGecom Exchanges, 2017 - dl.acm.org
In our recent paper [Rubinstein 2016] we rule out a PTAS for the 2-Player Nash Equilibrium
Problem. More precisely, we prove that there exists a constant ϵ> 0 such that, assuming the …

algorithms, subexponential-time algorithms, and fixed-parameter tractable algorithms. The …

A birthday repetition theorem and complexity of approximating dense CSPs

P Manurangsi, P Raghavendra - arXiv preprint arXiv:1607.02986, 2016 - arxiv.org
A $(k\times l) $-birthday repetition $\mathcal {G}^{k\times l} $ of a two-prover game $\mathcal

On supermodular contracts and dense subgraphs

R Deo-Campo Vuong, S Dughmi, N Patel… - Proceedings of the 2024 …, 2024 - SIAM
We study the combinatorial contract design problem, introduced and studied by Dütting et
al.(2021, 2022), in both the single and multi-agent settings. Prior work has examined the …

The strongish planted clique hypothesis and its consequences

P Manurangsi, A Rubinstein, T Schramm - arXiv preprint arXiv:2011.05555, 2020 - arxiv.org
We formulate a new hardness assumption, the Strongish Planted Clique Hypothesis
(SPCH), which postulates that any algorithm for planted clique must run in time $ n^{\Omega …
