We give an algorithm to compute all the local peaks in the $k$-level of an arrangement of $n$ lines in $O(n \log n) + \tilde{O}((kn)^{2/3})$ time. We can also find $\tau$ largest peaks in $O(n \log ^2 n) + \tilde{O}((\tau n)^{2/3})$ time.…
We show how to construct $(1+\varepsilon)$-spanner over a set $P$ of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ that is resilient to a catastrophic failure of nodes. Specifically, for prescribed parameters $\vartheta,\varepsilon \in (0,1)$, the computed…
A graph $G$ of order $n$ is said to be $k$-factor-critical for integers $1\leq k< n$, if the removal of any $k$ vertices results in a graph with a perfect matching. A $k$-factor-critical graph is minimal if for every edge, the deletion of…
In this paper we further investigate the well-studied problem of finding a perfect matching in a regular bipartite graph. The first non-trivial algorithm, with running time $O(mn)$, dates back to K\"{o}nig's work in 1916 (here $m=nd$ is the…
We study deterministic algorithms for computing graph cuts, with focus on two fundamental problems: balanced sparse cut and $k$-vertex connectivity for small $k$ ($k=O(\polylog n)$). Both problems can be solved in near-linear time with…
A classical result of Koml\'os, S\'ark\"ozy and Szemer\'edi states that every $n$-vertex graph with minimum degree at least $(1/2+ o(1))n$ contains every $n$-vertex tree with maximum degree $O(n/\log{n})$ as a subgraph, and the bounds on…
Graph spanners and emulators are sparse structures that approximately preserve distances of the original graph. While there has been an extensive amount of work on additive spanners, so far little attention was given to weighted graphs.…
A perfect $K_t$-matching in a graph $G$ is a spanning subgraph consisting of vertex disjoint copies of $K_t$. A classic theorem of Hajnal and Szemer\'edi states that if $G$ is a graph of order $n$ with minimum degree $\delta(G) \ge…
A unit disk graph $G$ on a given set $P$ of points in the plane is a geometric graph where an edge exists between two points $p,q \in P$ if and only if $|pq| \leq 1$. A spanning subgraph $G'$ of $G$ is a $k$-hop spanner if and only if for…
Tensor networks have been an important concept and technique in many research areas, such as quantum computation and machine learning. We study the exponential complexity of contracting tensor networks on two special graph structures:…
Alon, Seymour, and Thomas generalized Lipton and Tarjan's planar separator theorem and showed that a $K_h$-minor free graph with $n$ vertices has a separator of size at most $h^{3/2}\sqrt n$. They gave an algorithm that, given a graph $G$…
We consider the k-server problem under the advice model of computation when the underlying metric space is sparse. On one side, we show that an advice of size {\Omega}(n) is required to obtain a 1-competitive algorithm for sequences of size…
Let v(G) be the number of vertices and t(G,k) the maximum number of disjoint k-edge trees in G. In this paper we show that (a1) if G is a graph with every vertex of degree at least two and at most s, where s > 3, then t(G,2) is at least…
Given in the plane a set $S$ of $n$ points and a set of disks centered at these points, the disk graph $G(S)$ induced by these disks has vertex set $S$ and an edge between two vertices if their disks intersect. Note that the disks may have…
In this paper, we characterize planar point sets that can be partitioned into disjoint polygons of arbitrarily specified sizes. We provide an algorithm to construct such a partition, if it exists, in polynomial time. We show that this…
In 1975 Bollob\'{a}s, Erd\H{o}s, and Szemer\'{e}di asked what minimum degree guarantees an octahedral subgraph $K_3(2)$ in any tripartite graph $G$ with $n$ vertices in each vertex class. We show that $\delta(G)\geq n+2n^{\frac{5}{6}}$…
We study $(\alpha,\beta)$-spanners for weighted graphs. We propose a simple greedy completion procedure which starts from a sparse initial graph, and repeatedly fixes pairs of vertices with a bad stretch, generalizing Kunedsen's additive…
Given an edge-weighted graph, how many minimum $k$-cuts can it have? This is a fundamental question in the intersection of algorithms, extremal combinatorics, and graph theory. It is particularly interesting in that the best known bounds…
Given an undirected $n$-node unweighted graph $G = (V, E)$, a spanner with stretch function $f(\cdot)$ is a subgraph $H\subseteq G$ such that, if two nodes are at distance $d$ in $G$, then they are at distance at most $f(d)$ in $H$.…
The k-CO-PATH SET problem asks, given a graph G and a positive integer k, whether one can delete k edges from G so that the remainder is a collection of disjoint paths. We give a linear-time fpt algorithm with complexity O^*(1.588^k) for…
