Approximately counting and sampling small witnesses using a colorful decision oracle

H Dell, J Lapinskas, K Meeks - SIAM Journal on Computing, 2022 - SIAM
In this paper, we design efficient algorithms to approximately count the number of edges of a
given k-hypergraph, and to sample an approximately uniform random edge. The hypergraph …

Simplicial complexes are higher-order combinatorial structures which have been used to
represent real-world complex systems. In this paper, we concentrate on the local patterns in …

The simple, little and slow things count: on parameterized counting complexity

R Curticapean - 2015 - publikationen.sulb.uni-saarland.de
