MC2G: An Efficient Algorithm for Matrix Completion with Social and Item Similarity Graphs

In this paper, we design and analyze MC2G (Matrix Completion with 2 Graphs), an algorithm that performs matrix completion in the presence of social and item similarity graphs. MC2G runs in quasilinear time and is parameter free. It is based on spectral clustering and local refinement steps. The expected number of sampled entries required for MC2G to succeed (i.e., recover the clusters in the graphs and complete the matrix) matches an information-theoretic lower bound up to a constant factor for a wide range of parameters. We show via extensive experiments on both synthetic and real datasets that MC2G outperforms other state-of-the-art matrix completion algorithms that leverage graph side information.

Sparse spanning $k$-connected subgraphs in tournaments

In 2009, Bang-Jensen asked whether there exists a function $g(k)$ such that every strongly $k$-connected $n$-vertex tournament contains a strongly $k$-connected spanning subgraph with at most $kn + g(k)$ arcs. In this paper, we answer the question by showing that every strongly $k$-connected $n$-vertex tournament contains a strongly $k$-connected spanning subgraph with at most $kn + 750k^2\log(k+1)$ arcs.

Characterizing graphs of maximum matching width at most 2

The maximum matching width is a width-parameter that is defined on a branch-decomposition over the vertex set of a graph. The size of a maximum matching in the bipartite graph is used as a cut-function. In this paper, we characterize the graphs of maximum matching width at most 2 using the minor obstruction set. Also, we compute the exact value of the maximum matching width of a grid.

$(1, k)$-coloring of graphs with girth at least $5$ on a surface

A graph is $(d_1, ..., d_r)$-colorable if its vertex set can be partitioned into $r$ sets $V_1, ..., V_r$ so that the maximum degree of the graph induced by $V_i$ is at most $d_i$ for each $i\in \{1, ..., r\}$. For a given pair $(g, d_1)$, the question of determining the minimum $d_2=d_2(g; d_1)$ such that planar graphs with girth at least $g$ are $(d_1, d_2)$-colorable has attracted much interest. The finiteness of $d_2(g; d_1)$ was known for all cases except when $(g, d_1)=(5, 1)$. Montassier and Ochem explicitly asked if $d_2(5; 1)$ is finite. We answer this question in the affirmative with $d_2(5; 1)\leq 10$; namely, we prove that all planar graphs with girth at least $5$ are $(1, 10)$-colorable. Moreover, our proof extends to the statement that for any surface $S$ of Euler genus $γ$, there exists a $K=K(γ)$ where graphs with girth at least $5$ that are embeddable on $S$ are $(1, K)$-colorable. On the other hand, there is no finite $k$ where planar graphs (and thus embeddable on any surface) with girth at least $5$ are $(0, k)$-colorable.
