Consider the following generalized notion of graph coloring: a coloring of the vertices of a graph G is valid w.r.t. some given graph F if there is no copy of F in G whose vertices all receive the same color. We study the problem of computing valid colorings of the binomial random graph Gn,p on n vertices with edge probability p = p(n) in the following online setting: the vertices of an initially hidden instance of Gn,p are revealed one by one (together with all edges leading to previously revealed vertices) and have to be colored immediately and irrevocably with one of r available colors. It is known that for any fixed graph F and any fixed integer r ≥ 2 this problem has a threshold p0(F,r,n) in the following sense: For any function p(n) = o(p0) there is a strategy that a.a.s. (asymptotically almost surely, i.e., with probability tending to 1 as n tends to infinity) finds an r-coloring of Gn,p that is valid w.r.t. F online, and for any function p(n) = ω(p0) any online strategy will a.a.s. fail to do so. In this work we establish a general correspondence between this probabilistic problem and a deterministic two-player game in which the random process is replaced by an adversary that is subject to certain restrictions inherited from the random setting. This characterization allows us to compute, for any F and r, a value γ = γ(F,r) such that the threshold of the probabilistic problem is given by p0(F,r,n) = nγ. Our approach yields polynomial-time coloring algorithms that a.a.s. find valid colorings of Gn,p online in the entire regime below the respective thresholds, i.e., for any p(n) = o(n-γ).
A long-standing conjecture by Heath, Pemmaraju, and Trenk states that the upward book thickness of outerplanar DAGs is bounded above by a constant. In this paper, we show that the conjecture holds for subfamilies of u...

In this paper we show that series-parallel graphs (i.e., K 4-minor free graphs) can be represented as contact intersection graphs of straight-line segments in three directions. Moreover, in our representations no two segments of the same direction intersect.
Microaggregation is a classical statistical disclosure control technique which requires the input data to be partitioned into clusters while adhering to specified size constraints. We provide novel exact algorithms an...

Two standard methods for estimating the cell cycle phase distribution of a yeast population are budding index analysis and one that uses fluorescence-activated cell sorter(FACS).However,both of these methods will require wet lab *** this research,we propose a method that estimates the cell cycle phase distribution from the time series gene expression data.
In the Directed Feedback Vertex Set (DFVS) problem, we are given as input a directed graph D and an integer k, and the objective is to check whether there exists a set S of at most k vertices such that F = D − S is a ...
