What is the fastest algorithm for computing exact network reliability?

In the network reliability problem, we are given an undirected graph $G$ on $n$ vertices and a parameter $p\in (0,1)$, and are tasked with determining the probability that $G$ becomes disconnected (i....

Minimum vertex-separators under edge addition

I am trying to prove the following claim. Let $T$ be a minimum $st$-separator in an undirected graph $G$, and let $x \in T$. Let $S\neq T$ be a minimal $st$-separator (i.e., not necessarily minimum), ...

Fastest Known Algorithm to Count Acyclic Orientations in a Graph

Given an undirected graph $G$, an acyclic orientation of $G$ is choice of orientation for each edge of $G$ (turning each edge into an arc) such that the resulting directed graph has no directed cycles....

Fastest Known Algorithm for $k$-Dimensional Matching and $k$-Exact Cover

Given a $k$-uniform hypergraph $G$ (i.e., each edge of $G$ contains precisely $k$ vertices) on $n$ vertices, the $k$-Exact Cover problem is the task of deciding if there exists $n/k$ edges in $G$ ...

What is the fastest known algorithm for computing a 1.99-approximation of Vertex Cover?

It is known that computing $(\sqrt 2 -\epsilon)$-approximation for VC is NP-hard and that UGC implies that even a $(2 -\epsilon)$-approximation is hard. There is also a parameterized algorithm for ...

Subset Numbering

Fix $k\ge5$. For any big enough $n$, we would like to label all subsets of $\{1..n\}$ of size exactly $n/k$ by positive integers from $\{1...T\}$. We would like this labelling to satisfy the following ...

Approximation algorithms for Metric TSP

It is known that metric TSP can be approximated within $1.5$ and cannot be approximated better than $123\over 122$ in polynomial time. Is anything known about finding approximation solutions in ...

Finding cliques in a big graph

I would like to find (all) cliques in a given graph with 8,568 vertices and 12,726,708 edges. The vertex with the lowes degree has 2000, the vertext with the highest degree has 4007. The cliques ...
