TL;DR

This paper generalises the existing PTAS for complete graphs from a fixed to an arbitrary number of intervals and disprove an existing conjecture, which states that every instance of BIA admits a solution satisfying at least three quarters of all edges.

Online and Incremental Fractional Vertex Cover on Trees

This paper presents an $\frac{11}{6} \approx 1.83$-competitive algorithm for trees in the more general edge arrival model and gives a 1.5-competitive algorithm and provide a matching lower bound.

Minimal-to-Maximal Conversion Search Is Not Output-Polynomial

It is proved that Minimal-to-Maximal Conversion Search is in fact not output-polynomial and the lower bound construction motivates a more detailed analysis of how certain heuristic choices in the algorithm design affect the running time.

Instance-Optimality of Bidirectional Dijkstra on Simple Graphs

It is shown that bidirectional Dijkstra is still instance-optimal on simple undirected weighted graphs under the order-oblivious model, where incident edges are given in a random order, and under the order-dependent model, where bidirectional Dijkstra is not instance-optimal.

Correlation Clustering with Random Partial Information

For graph instances both for the min-max and the min-disagreement objectives, this work proves approximation guarantees that are substantially better than the bounds achievable for general graphs.
