Scattering and sparse partitions, and their applications

A Filtser - ACM Transactions on Algorithms, 2024 - dl.acm.org
A partition of a weighted graph is-sparse if every cluster has diameter at most, and every ball
of radius intersects at most clusters. Similarly, is-scattering if instead for balls, we require that …

Optimal padded decomposition for bounded treewidth graphs

A Filtser, T Friedrich, D Issac, N Kumar, H Le… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
A $(\beta,\delta,\Delta) $-padded decomposition of an edge-weighted graph $ G=(V, E, w) $
is a stochastic decomposition into clusters of diameter at most $\Delta $ such that for every …

On sparse covers of minor free graphs, low dimensional metric embeddings, and other applications

A Filtser - arXiv preprint arXiv:2401.14060, 2024 - arxiv.org
Given a metric space $(X, d_X) $, a $(\beta, s,\Delta) $-sparse cover is a collection of
clusters $\mathcal {C}\subseteq P (X) $ with diameter at most $\Delta $, such that for every …

Simultaneously Approximating All 𝓁_p-Norms in Correlation Clustering

S Davies, B Moseley, H Newman - 51st International Colloquium …, 2024 - drops.dagstuhl.de
This paper considers correlation clustering on unweighted complete graphs. We give a
combinatorial algorithm that returns a single clustering solution that is simultaneously O (1) …

Bicriterial approximation for the incremental prize-collecting steiner-tree problem

Y Disser, SM Griesbach, M Klimm, A Lutz - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
We consider an incremental variant of the rooted prize-collecting Steiner-tree problem with a
growing budget constraint. While no incremental solution exists that simultaneously …

[PDF][PDF] One Tree to Rule Them All: Poly-Logarithmic Universal Steiner Tree

D Hathcock, DE Hershkowitz, R Rajaraman - arnold.filtser.com
A spanning tree T of graph G is a ρ-approximate universal Steiner tree (UST) for root vertex r
if, for any subset of vertices S containing r, the cost of the minimal subgraph of T connecting …
