Good quality virtual realization of unit disk graphs
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We consider the problem of finding a realization of an n-vertex unit disk graph (UDG) expressed in general form, say, as an adjacency matrix. The problem is to construct an embedding of the graph in low-dimensional Euclidean space so that the ratio of the length of the longest edge under the embedding to the length of the shortest non-edge under the embedding is as small as possible; the measure is known as the quality of the realization. Thus, an optimum quality realization has quality between 1/2 and 1. Kuhn et al. gave aO(log3.5 n (loglog n)1/2}) quality realization that requires solving a linear program with exponentially many constraints by using the ellipsoid algorithm. In this article, we give a combinatorial algorithm that achieves an O(log3 n) quality realization of an n-vertex UDG expressed in general form. Thus, not only is our algorithm an improvement, it also bypasses the standard and costly technique of solving a linear program with exponentially many “spreading constraints.” As a side effect of our construction, we get the first constant-factor approximation to the minimum clique partition problem for UDGs expressed in general form. Such a clique partition also represents our key technical contribution. If the embedding is allowed to reside in higher dimensional space, we obtain improved results: a quality-2 embedding in constant dimensional Euclidean space.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
