Edge Estimation with Independent Set Oracles

چکیده
We study the problem of estimating the number of edges in a graph with access to only an independent set oracle. Independent set queries draw motivation from group testing and have applications to the complexity of decision versus counting problems. We give two algorithms to estimate the number of edges in an n-vertex graph: one that uses only polylog(n) bipartite independent set queries, and another one that uses n · polylog(n) independent set queries.

Estimation of Fracture path in the Structures and the Influences of Non-singular term on crack propagation
In the present research, a fully Automatic crack propagation as one of the most complicated issues in fracture mechanics is studied whether there is an inclusion or no inclusion in the structures. In this study The Extended Finite Element Method (XFEM) is utilized because of several drawbacks in standard finite element method in crack propagation modeling. Estimated Crack paths are obtained by ...
متن کاملGlobal Forcing Number for Maximal Matchings under Graph Operations
Let $S= \{e_1,\,e_2, \ldots,\,e_m\}$ be an ordered subset of edges of a connected graph $G$. The edge $S$-representation of an edge set $M\subseteq E(G)$ with respect to $S$ is the vector $r_e(M|S) = (d_1,\,d_2,\ldots,\,d_m)$, where $d_i=1$ if $e_i\in M$ and $d_i=0$ otherwise, for each $i\in\{1,\ldots , k\}$. We say $S$ is a global forcing set for maximal matchings of $G$ if $...
متن کاملBETTER ESTIMATION OF SMALL SOBOL’ SENSITIVITY INDICES By Art
A new method for estimating Sobol’ indices is proposed. The new method makes use of 3 independent input vectors rather than the usual 2. It attains much greater accuracy on problems where the target Sobol’ index is small, even outperforming some oracles which adjust using the true but unknown mean of the function. When the target Sobol’ index is quite large, the oracles do better than the new m...
متن کاملMixed Roman domination and 2-independence in trees
Let $G=(V, E)$ be a simple graph with vertex set $V$ and edge set $E$. A {em mixed Roman dominating function} (MRDF) of $G$ is a function $f:Vcup Erightarrow {0,1,2}$ satisfying the condition that every element $xin Vcup E$ for which $f(x)=0$ is adjacentor incident to at least one element $yin Vcup E$ for which $f(y)=2$. The weight of anMRDF $f$ is $sum _{xin Vcup E} f(x)$. The mi...
متن کاملInfinite Computations with Random Oracles
We consider the following problem for various infinite time machines. If a real is computable relative to large set of oracles such as a set of full measure or just of positive measure, a comeager set, or a nonmeager Borel set, is it already computable? We show that the answer is independent from ZFC for ordinal time machines (OTMs) with and without ordinal parameters and give a positive answer...
