Combinatorial optimization algorithms for graph problems are usually designed afresh for each new problem with careful attention by an expert to the problem structure. In this work, we develop a new framework to solve any combinatorial…

In this paper, we extend the ideas of graph pebbling to oriented graphs and find a classification for all graphs with fully traversable pebbling assignments that are isomorphic to their assignment graph. We then give some cases in which a…

We study the problem of finding flows in undirected graphs so as to minimize the weighted $p$-norm of the flow for any $p > 1$. When $p=2$, the problem is that of finding an electrical flow, and its dual is equivalent to solving a Laplacian…
