We show that for any $\epsilon > 0$, a maximum-weight triangle in an
undirected graph with $n$ vertices and real weights assigned to
vertices can be found in time $\O(n^{\omega} + n^{2 + \epsilon})$,
where $\omega $ is the exponent of fastest matrix multiplication
algorithm. By the currently best bound ... more >>>

We present two new methods for finding a lowest common ancestor (LCA)
for each pair of vertices of a directed acyclic graph (dag) on
n vertices and m edges.

The first method is a natural approach that solves the all-pairs LCA
problem for the input dag in time O(nm).

The ... more >>>

We consider the ``minor'' and ``homeomorphic'' analogues of the maximum clique problem, i.e., the problems of determining the largest $h$ such that the input graph has a minor isomorphic to $K_h$ or a subgraph homeomorphic to $K_h,$ respectively.We show the former to be approximable within $O(\sqrt {n} \log^{1.5} n)$ by ... more >>>

The Max-Bisection and Min-Bisection are the problems of finding
partitions of the vertices of a given graph into two equal size subsets so as
to maximize or minimize, respectively, the number of edges with exactly one
endpoint in each subset.
In this paper we design the first ... more >>>

The max-bisection problem is to find a partition of the vertices of a
graph into two equal size subsets that maximizes the number of edges with
endpoints in both subsets.
We obtain new improved approximation ratios for the max-bisection problem on
the low degree $k$-regular graphs for ... more >>>
