Relaxation procedures on graphs
نویسندگان
چکیده
The procedures studied in this paper originate from a problem posed at the International Mathematical Olympiad in 1986. We present several approaches to the IMO problem and its generalizations. In this context we introduce a “signed mean value procedure” and study “relaxation procedures on graphs”. We prove that these processes are always finite, thus confirming a conjecture of Akiyama, Hosono and Urabe [J. Akiyama, K. Hosono, M. Urabe, Some combinatorial problems. Discrete Mathematics 116 (1993) 291–298]. Moreover, we indicate relations to sorting and to an iterative method used in circle packing. c © 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Effect of Benson’s relaxation technique on the anxiety of patients undergoing coronary angiography: A randomized control trial
Background and Purpose: Anxiety is a common problem associated with invasive medical procedures, especially in patients undergoing coronary angiography. As an intensifier at cardiovascular reactions, anxiety poses significant risk to the health of patients undergoing angiography. Researchers believe that use of Benson’s relaxation technique could reduce anxiety in different patients. Th...
متن کاملFinding Planted Subgraphs with Few Eigenvalues using the Schur-Horn Relaxation
Extracting structured subgraphs inside large graphs – often known as the planted subgraph problem – is a fundamental question that arises in a range of application domains. This problem is NP-hard in general, and as a result, significant efforts have been directed towards the development of tractable procedures that succeed on specific families of problem instances. We propose a new computation...

Background Infertility and diagnostic and therapeutic procedures of which during assisted reproduction technologies (ART) make discomfort and anxiety for infertile couples. Several studies have demonstrated that infertility treatment procedures, particularly during ovulation induction period, lead to high levels of distress and anxiety in infertile women. The aim of this study was to evaluate t...
متن کاملMinimax Correlation Clustering and Biclustering: Bounding Errors Locally
We introduce a new agnostic clustering model, minimax correlation clustering, and a rounding algorithm tailored to the needs of this model. Given a graph whose edges are labeled with + or −, we wish to partition the graph into clusters while trying to avoid errors: + edges between clusters or − edges within clusters. Unlike classical correlation clustering, which seeks to minimize the total num...
