Parallel Graph Decompositions Using Random Shifts
We show an improved parallel algorithm for decomposing an undirected
unweighted graph into small diameter pieces with a small fraction of the edges
in between. These decompositions form critical subroutines in a number of graph
algorithms. Our algorithm builds upon the shifted shortest path approach
introduced in [Blelloch, Gupta, Koutis, Miller, Peng, Tangwongsan, SPAA 2011].
By combining various stages of the previous algorithm, we obtain a
significantly simpler algorithm with the same asymptotic guarantees as the best
sequential algorithm
Inference and Optimization of Real Edges on Sparse Graphs - A Statistical Physics Perspective
Inference and optimization of real-value edge variables in sparse graphs are
studied using the Bethe approximation and replica method of statistical
physics. Equilibrium states of general energy functions involving a large set
of real edge-variables that interact at the network nodes are obtained in
various cases. When applied to the representative problem of network resource
allocation, efficient distributed algorithms are also devised. Scaling
properties with respect to the network connectivity and the resource
availability are found, and links to probabilistic Bayesian approximation
methods are established. Different cost measures are considered and algorithmic
solutions in the various cases are devised and examined numerically. Simulation
results are in full agreement with the theory.Comment: 21 pages, 10 figures, major changes: Sections IV to VII updated,

Minimizing Unsatisfaction in Colourful Neighbourhoods
Colouring sparse graphs under various restrictions is a theoretical problem
of significant practical relevance. Here we consider the problem of maximizing
the number of different colours available at the nodes and their
neighbourhoods, given a predetermined number of colours. In the analytical
framework of a tree approximation, carried out at both zero and finite
temperatures, solutions obtained by population dynamics give rise to estimates
of the threshold connectivity for the incomplete to complete transition, which
are consistent with those of existing algorithms. The nature of the transition
as well as the validity of the tree approximation are investigated.Comment: 28 pages, 12 figures, substantially revised with additional

The full replica symmetry breaking in the Ising spin glass on random regular graph
In this paper, we extend the full replica symmetry breaking scheme to the
Ising spin glass on a random regular graph. We propose a new martingale
approach, that overcomes the limits of the Parisi-M\'ezard cavity method,
providing a well-defined formulation of the full replica symmetry breaking
problem in random regular graphs. Finally, we define the order parameters of
the system and get a set of self-consistency equations for the order parameters
and the free energy. We face up the problem only from a technical point of
view: the physical meaning of this approach and the quantitative evaluation of
the solution of the self-consistency equations will be discussed in next works.Comment: 23 page
Random Graph Coloring - a Statistical Physics Approach
The problem of vertex coloring in random graphs is studied using methods of
statistical physics and probability. Our analytical results are compared to
those obtained by exact enumeration and Monte-Carlo simulations. We critically
discuss the merits and shortcomings of the various methods, and interpret the
results obtained. We present an exact analytical expression for the 2-coloring
problem as well as general replica symmetric approximated solutions for the
thermodynamics of the graph coloring problem with p colors and K-body edges.Comment: 17 pages, 9 figure
