A \emph{$\nu$-reliable spanner} of a metric space $(X,d)$, is a (dominating) graph $H$, such that for any possible failure set $B\subseteq X$, there is a set $B^+$ just slightly larger $|B^+|\le(1+\nu)\cdot|B|$, and all distances between…

Consider a random geometric graph over a random point process in $\mathbb{R}^d$. Two points are connected by an edge if and only if their distance is bounded by a prescribed distance parameter. We show that projecting the graph onto a two…

Weighted Padovan graphs $\Phi^{n}_{k}$, $n \geq 1$, $\lfloor \frac{n}{2} \rfloor \leq k \leq \lfloor \frac{2n-2}{3} \rfloor$, are introduced as the graphs whose vertices are all Padovan words of length $n$ with $k$ $1$s, two vertices being…

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 drawing in the plane is called an almost embedding if the images of any two non-adjacent simplices (i.e. vertices or edges) are disjoint. Almost embeddings (more precisely, their higher-dimensional analogues) naturally appear in…

We study Voronoi diagrams for distance functions that add together two convex functions, each taking as its argument the difference between Cartesian coordinates of two planar points. When the functions do not grow too quickly, then the…

We present an explicit and efficient construction of additively weighted Voronoi diagrams on planar graphs. Let $G$ be a planar graph with $n$ vertices and $b$ sites that lie on a constant number of faces. We show how to preprocess $G$ in…

Many iterative methods in applied mathematics can be thought of as fixed-point iterations, and such algorithms are usually analyzed analytically, with inequalities. In this paper, we present a geometric approach to analyzing contractive and…

Let $G = (V, E)$ be an edge-weighted geometric graph such that every edge is horizontal or vertical. The weight of an edge $uv \in E$ is its length. Let $ W_G (u,v)$ denote the length of a shortest path between a pair of vertices $u$ and…

Given an {\em unweighted} undirected graph $G = (V,E)$, and a pair of parameters $\epsilon > 0$, $\beta = 1,2,\ldots$, a subgraph $G' =(V,H)$, $H \subseteq E$, of $G$ is a {\em $(1+\epsilon,\beta)$-spanner} (aka, a {\em near-additive…

Spanners are fundamental graph structures that sparsify graphs at the cost of small stretch. In particular, in recent years, many sequential algorithms constructing additive all-pairs spanners were designed, providing very sparse…

Let $H$ be an edge-weighted graph, and let $G$ be a subgraph of $H$. We say that $G$ is an $f$-fault-tolerant $t$-spanner for $H$, if the following is true for any subset $F$ of at most $f$ edges of $G$: For any two vertices $p$ and $q$,…

We study graph spanners for point-set in the high-dimensional Euclidean space. On the one hand, we prove that spanners with stretch <\sqrt{2} and subquadratic size are not possible, even if we add Steiner points. On the other hand, if we…

A graph $G=(V,E)$ is called $d$-rigid if, for a generic embedding of its vertices in $\mathbb{R}^d$, every edge-length preserving continuous motion of the vertices preserves the distances between all pairs of non-adjacent vertices as well.…

Given S_1, a finite set of points in the plane, we define a sequence of point sets S_i as follows: With S_i already determined, let L_i be the set of all the line segments connecting pairs of points of the union of S_1,...,S_i, and let…

We study a geometric hitting-set problem in which the input consists of a set $P$ of weighted points and a family $S=H\cup V$ of axis-parallel segments in the plane. The goal is to select a minimum-weight subset of $P$ that hits every…

For a positive integer $k$ and an ordered set of $n$ points in the plane, define its k-sector ordered Yao graphs as follows. Divide the plane around each point into $k$ equal sectors and draw an edge from each point to its closest…

A random geometric graph, $G(n,r)$, is formed by choosing $n$ points independently and uniformly at random in a unit square; two points are connected by a straight-line edge if they are at Euclidean distance at most $r$. For a given…

The weighted Szeged index and the weighted vertex-PI index of a connected graph $G$ are defined as $wSz(G) = \sum_{e=uv \in E(G)} (deg (u) + deg (v))n_u(e)n_v(e)$ and $wPI_v(G) = \sum_{e=uv \in E(G)} (deg(u) + deg(v))( n_u(e) + n_v(e))$,…

An arc-weighted digraph is a pair $(D,\omega)$ where $D$ is a digraph and $\omega$ is an \emph{arc-weight function} that assigns\ to each arc $uv$ of $D$ a nonzero real number $\omega(uv)$. Given an arc-weighted digraph $(D,\omega)$ with…
