Let $M=(m_{ij})$ be a symmetric matrix of order $n$ whose elements lie in an arbitrary field $mathbb{F}$, and let $G$ be the graph with vertex set ${1,ldots,n}$ such that distinct vertices $i$ and $j$ are adjacent if and only if $m_{ij} eq 0$. We introduce a dynamic programming algorithm that finds a diagonal matrix that is congruent to $M$. If $G$ is given with a tree decomposition $mathcal{T}$ of width $k$, then this can be done in time $O(k|mathcal{T}| + k^2 n)$, where $|mathcal{T}|$ denotes the number of nodes in $mathcal{T}$. Among other things, this allows one to compute the determinant, the rank and the inertia of a symmetric matrix in time $O(k|mathcal{T}| + k^2 n)$.
We give polynomial-time approximation schemes for monotone maximization problems expressible in terms of distances (up to a fixed upper bound) and efficiently solvable in graphs of bounded treewidth. These schemes apply in all fractionally treewidth-
We initiate the study of coresets for clustering in graph metrics, i.e., the shortest-path metric of edge-weighted graphs. Such clustering problems are essential to data analysis and used for example in road networks and data visualization. A coreset
Understanding the structure of minor-free metrics, namely shortest path metrics obtained over a weighted graph excluding a fixed minor, has been an important research direction since the fundamental work of Robertson and Seymour. A fundamental idea t
We develop an approximation algorithm for the partition function of the ferromagnetic Potts model on graphs with a small-set expansion condition, and as a step in the argument we give a graph partitioning algorithm with expansion and minimum degree c
Tuza (1981) conjectured that the size $tau(G)$ of a minimum set of edges that intersects every triangle of a graph $G$ is at most twice the size $ u(G)$ of a maximum set of edge-disjoint triangles of $G$. In this paper we present three results regard
