In this paper we gather several improvements in the field of exact and approximate exponential time algorithms for the BANDWIDTH problem. For graphs with treewidth t we present an O(n(0(t))2(n)) exact algorithm. Moreover, for any two positive integers k >= 2, r >= 1, we present a (2kr - 1)-approximation algorithm that solves BANDWIDTH for an arbitrary input graph in O*(k(n/(k-1)r)) time and polynomial space where by O* we denote the standard big O notation but omitting polynomial factors. Finally, we improve the currently best known exact algorithm for arbitrary graphs with an O(4.383(n)) time and space algorithm. In the algorithms for the small treewidth we develop a technique based on the Fast Fourier Transform, parallel to the Fast Subset Convolution techniques introduced by Bjorklund et al. This technique can be also used as a simple method of finding a chromatic number of all subgraphs of a given graph in O*(2(n)) time and space, what matches the best known results.

It is well known that the computational complexity of propositional knowledge base revision is at the second level of polynomial hierarchy. A way to solve this kind of problems is to introduce approximate algorithms. In this paper, an approximate approach is introduced for belief change. Operators, which satisfy the AGM rational postulates, are defined to change belief sets or belief bases. Furthermore, approximate algorithms to implement the revision of finite belief bases are presented. The time complexities of the approximate algorithms shown in this paper are at lower level than the time complexities of the existed approaches in literatures, although they may not generate the optimal solution, and this is meaningful from the theoretical point of view.

Bipartite graph models the relationship between two different sets of entities. Such graph data become more dynamic and are organized as stream with duplicate edges in real-word applications such as customer-product in e-commerce. A butterfly, (2,2)-biclique, is the simplest cohesive substructure and of great importance in a bipartite graph. However, it is challenging to estimate the number of butterflies in large scale and high dynamic bipartite graph stream when given a limited memory. Besides, existing works for butterfly counting assume no duplicate edges in the bipartite graph stream, which cause less accuracy in bipartite graph stream with duplicate edges. In this paper, we propose FABLE, a Fixed-size memory approximate Butterfly counting algorithm for dupLicate Edges in bipartite graph stream. In FABLE, we compute the number of distinct edges by maintaining an ordered list of edge priorities for replacement and sampling. We provide theoretical proof of unbiasedness and derive the variance of butterfly count. Our extensive experiments on 5 real-world datasets confirm that our approach has higher accuracy compared with the baseline method under the same memory usage.

Given a graph G with n nodes, and two nodes u, v is an element of G, the CoSimRank value s(u, v) quantifies the similarity between u and v based on graph topology. Compared to SimRank, CoSimRank is shown to be more accurate and effective in many real-world applications including synonym expansion, lexicon extraction, and entity relatedness in knowledge graphs. The computation of all pairwise CoSimRanks in G is highly expensive and challenging. Existing solutions all focus on devising approximate algorithms for the computation of all pairwise CoSimRanks. To attain a desired absolute accuracy guarantee epsilon, the state-of-the-art approximate algorithm for computing all pairwise CoSimRanks requires O(n(3) log(2)(ln(1/epsilon))) time, which is prohibitively expensive even epsilon is large. In this paper, we propose RPCS, a fast randomized algorithm for computing all pairwise CoSimRank values. The basic idea of RPCS is to approximate the n x n matrix multiplications in CoSimRank computation via random projection. Theoretically, RPCS runs in O(n(2) ln(n)/epsilon(2) ln(1/epsilon)) time and meanwhile ensures an absolute error of at most epsilon in each CoSimRank value in G with a high probability. Extensive experiments using six real graphs demonstrate that RPCS is more than up to orders of magnitude faster than the state of the art. In particular, on a million-edge Twitter graph, RPCS answers the epsilon-approximate (epsilon = 0.1) all pairwise CoSimRank query within 4 h, using a single commodity server, while existing solutions fail to terminate within a day.

Eclat algorithm is one of the most widely used frequent itemset mining methods. One significant bottleneck of the Eclat algorithm is that the efficiency for calculating the intersection of itemsets is low especially when the itemsets have a large number of transactions. In this work, for the purpose of efficiency improvement and resource saving, we propose an approximate variation of Eclat algorithm which is based on MinHash technique. A recent research shows that MinHash technique can be used for estimating the size of the intersection of sets. So we investigate the role of MinHash technique to overcome the drawback which inefficiency of itemsets intersection in Eclat algorithm. This approach can provide an approximate answer which is more useful than 'exact' result in many situations. In this work, we propose an approximate algorithm called HashEclat. Our algorithm considers the tradeoff between accuracy of the mining results and algorithm execution time. Both of theoretical analysis and realistic experiments show that it can output almost all the frequent itemsets with faster speed and less memory space. Besides other optimization methods of the Eclat algorithm can also be used in our algorithm, since our method only accelerates calculating the intersection speed.

In the TRECVID Instance Search (INS) task, it is known that use of BM25, which is an improvement of the TFIDF, greatly improves retrieval performance. Its calculation, however, requires tremendous amount of computational cost and this fact makes its use intractable. In this paper, we present its efficient computational method. Since the BM25 is obtained by solving the bichromatic reverse nearest neighbor (BRNN) search problem, we propose an approximate method for the problem based on the state-of-the-art approximate nearest neighbor search method, bucket distance hashing (BDH). An experiment using the TRECVID INS 2012 dataset showed that the proposed method reduced computational cost to less than 1/3500 of the brute-force search with keeping the accuracy.

Facility Relocation (FR), which is an effort to reallocate the placement of facilities to adapt to the changes of urban planning and population distribution, has remarkable impact on many application areas. Existing solutions to the FR problem either focus on relocating one facility (i.e., 1-FR) or fail to guarantee the result quality on relocating k > 1 facilities (i.e., k-FR). As k-FR problem is NP-hard and is not submodular or non-decreasing, traditional hill-climb approximate algorithm cannot be directly applied. In light of that, we propose to transform k-FR into another facility placement problem, which is submodular and non-decreasing. We theoretically prove that the optimal solution of both problems are equivalent. Accordingly, we are able to present the first approximate solution towards the k-FR, namely FR2FP. Our extensive comparison over both FR2FP and the state-of-the-art heuristic solution shows that FR2FP, although provides approximation guarantee, cannot necessarily given superior results to the heuristic solution. The comparison motivates and, more importantly, directs us to present an advanced approximate solution, namely FR2FP-ex. Extensive experimental study over both real-world and synthetic datasets have verified that, FR2FP-ex demonstrates the best result quality. In addition, we also exactly unveil the scenarios when the state-of-the-art heuristic would fail to provide satisfied results in practice.

As a comprehensive measure, the error spectrum will be widely used for estimation performance evaluation. However, it's hard to calculate without the error distribution. An approximate algorithm is proposed in this study to solve this problem. Then, how the approximate calculation can be used is illustrated by numerical examples. Finally, the correctness of the algorithm is validated by the simulation results.

Li transient concentration distribution in spherical active material particles can affect the maximum power density and the safe operating regime of the electric vehicles(EVs). On one hand, the quasiexact/exact solution obtained in the time/frequency domain is time-consuming and just as a reference value for approximate solutions;on the other hand, calculation errors and application range of approximate solutions not only rely on approximate algorithms but also on discharge modes. For the purpose to track the transient dynamics for Li solid-phase diffusion in spherical active particles with a tolerable error range and for a wide applicable range, it is necessary to choose optimal approximate algorithms in terms of discharge modes and the nature of active material particles. In this study, approximation methods,such as diffusion length method, polynomial profile approximation method, Padé approximation method,pseudo steady state method, eigenfunction-based Galerkin collocation method, and separation of variables method for solving Li solid-phase diffusion in spherical active particles are compared from calculation fundamentals to algorithm implementation. Furthermore, these approximate solutions are quantitatively compared to the quasi-exact/exact solution in the time/frequency domain under typical discharge modes, i.e., start-up, slow-down, and speed-up. The results obtained from the viewpoint of time-frequency analysis offer a theoretical foundation on how to track Li transient concentration profile in spherical active particles with a high precision and for a wide application range. In turn, optimal solutions of Li solid diffusion equations for spherical active particles can improve the reliability in predicting safe operating regime and estimating maximum power for automotive batteries.

Web-based social networking is increasingly gaining popularity due to the rapid development of computer networking technologies. However, social networking applications still cannot obtain a wider acceptance by many users due to some unresolved issues, such as trust, security, and privacy. In social networks, trust is mainly studied whether a remote user behaves as expected by an interested user via other users, who are respectively named trustee, trustor, and recommenders. A trust graph consists of a trustor, a trustee, some recommenders, and the trust relationships between them. In this paper, we propose a novel FlowTrust approach to model a trust graph with network flows, and evaluate the maximum amount of trust that can flow through a trust graph using network flow theory. FlowTrust supports multi-dimensional trust. We use trust value and confidence level as two trust factors. We deduce four trust metrics from these two trust factors, which are maximum flow of trust value, maximum flow of confidence level, minimum cost of uncertainty with maximum flow of trust, and minimum cost of mistrust with maximum flow of confidence. We also propose three FlowTrust algorithms to normalize these four trust metrics. We compare our proposed FlowTrust approach with the existing RelTrust and CircuitTrust approaches. We show that all three approaches are comparable in terms of the inferred trust values. Therefore, FlowTrust is the best of the three since it also supports multi-dimensional trust.
