Let H be a graph, and let C_H(G) be the number of (subgraph isomorphic) copies of H contained in a graph G. We investigate the fundamental problem of estimating C_H(G). Previous results cover only a few specific instances of this general problem, for example, the case when H has degree at most one (monomer-dimer problem). In this paper, we present the first general subcase of the subgraph isomorphism counting problem which is almost always efficiently approximable. The results rely on a new graph decomposition technique. Informally, the decomposition is a labeling of the vertices such that every edge is between vertices with different labels and for every vertex all neighbors with a higher label have identical labels. The labeling implicitly generates a sequence of bipartite graphs which permits us to break the problem of counting embeddings of large subgraphs into that of counting embeddings of small subgraphs. Using this method, we present a simple randomized algorithm for the counting problem. For all decomposable graphs H and all graphs G, the algorithm is an unbiased estimator. Furthermore, for all graphs H having a decomposition where each of the bipartite graphs generated is small and almost all graphs G, the algorithm is a fully polynomial randomized approximation scheme. We show that the graph classes of H for which we obtain a fully polynomial randomized approximation scheme for almost all G includes graphs of degree at most two, bounded-degree forests, bounded-length grid graphs, subdivision of bounded-degree graphs, and major subclasses of outerplanar graphs, series-parallel graphs and planar graphs, whereas unbounded-length grid graphs are excluded.

We determine the computational complexity of approximately counting and sampling independent sets of a given size in bounded-degree graphs. That is, we identify a critical density $alpha_c(Delta)$ and provide (i) for $alpha < alpha_c(Delta)$ randomized polynomial-time algorithms for approximately sampling and counting independent sets of given size at most $alpha n$ in $n$-vertex graphs of maximum degree $Delta$; and (ii) a proof that unless NP=RP, no such algorithms exist for $alpha>alpha_c(Delta)$. The critical density is the occupancy fraction of hard core model on the clique $K_{Delta+1}$ at the uniqueness threshold on the infinite $Delta$-regular tree, giving $alpha_c(Delta)simfrac{e}{1+e}frac{1}{Delta}$ as $Deltatoinfty$.
It is an open problem whether the 3-coloring problem can be solved in polynomial time in the class of graphs that do not contain an induced path on $t$ vertices, for fixed $t$. We propose an algorithm that, given a 3-colorable graph without an induced path on $t$ vertices, computes a coloring with $max{5,2lceil{frac{t-1}{2}}rceil-2}$ many colors. If the input graph is triangle-free, we only need $max{4,lceil{frac{t-1}{2}}rceil+1}$ many colors. The running time of our algorithm is $O((3^{t-2}+t^2)m+n)$ if the input graph has $n$ vertices and $m$ edges.
We count orientations of $G(n,p)$ avoiding certain classes of oriented graphs. In particular, we study $T_r(n,p)$, the number of orientations of the binomial random graph $G(n,p)$ in which every copy of $K_r$ is transitive, and $S_r(n,p)$, the number of orientations of $G(n,p)$ containing no strongly connected copy of $K_r$. We give the correct order of growth of $log T_r(n,p)$ and $log S_r(n,p)$ up to polylogarithmic factors; for orientations with no cyclic triangle, this significantly improves a result of Allen, Kohayakawa, Mota and Parente. We also discuss the problem for a single forbidden oriented graph, and state a number of open problems and conjectures.
The problem of computing a bi-Lipschitz embedding of a graphical metric into the line with minimum distortion has received a lot of attention. The best-known approximation algorithm computes an embedding with distortion $O(c^2)$, where $c$ denotes the optimal distortion [Bu{a}doiu etal~2005]. We present a bi-criteria approximation algorithm that extends the above results to the setting of emph{outliers}. Specifically, we say that a metric space $(X,rho)$ admits a $(k,c)$-embedding if there exists $Ksubset X$, with $|K|=k$, such that $(Xsetminus K, rho)$ admits an embedding into the line with distortion at most $c$. Given $kgeq 0$, and a metric space that admits a $(k,c)$-embedding, for some $cgeq 1$, our algorithm computes a $({mathsf p}{mathsf o}{mathsf l}{mathsf y}(k, c, log n), {mathsf p}{mathsf o}{mathsf l}{mathsf y}(c))$-embedding in polynomial time. This is the first algorithmic result for outlier bi-Lipschitz embeddings. Prior to our work, comparable outlier embeddings where known only for the case of additive distortion.
