We study the following Two-Sets Cut-Uncut problem on planar graphs. Therein, one is given an undirected planar graph $G$ and two sets of vertices $S$ and $T$. The question is, what is the minimum number of edges to remove from $G$, such…

We consider the directed Min-Cost Rooted Subset $k$-Edge-Connection problem: given a digraph $G=(V,E)$ with edge costs, a set $T \subseteq V$ of terminals, a root node $r$, and an integer $k$, find a min-cost subgraph of $G$ that contains…

Each vertex of an arbitrary simple graph on $n$ vertices chooses $k$ random incident edges. What is the expected number of edges in the original graph that connect different connected components of the sampled subgraph? We prove that the…

This paper studies an important rate allocation problem that arises in many networked and distributed systems: steady-state traffic rate allocation from multiple sources to multiple service nodes when both (i) the access-path delay on each…

Let $S\subseteq V(G)$ and $\pi_{G}(S)$ denote the maximum number $t$ of edge-disjoint paths $P_{1},P_{2},\ldots,P_{t}$ in a graph $G$ such that $V(P_{i})\cap V(P_{j})=S$ for any $i,j\in\{1,2,\ldots,t\}$ and $i\neq j$. If $S=V(G)$, then…

The Induced Disjoint Paths problem is to test whether a graph G with k distinct pairs of vertices (s_i,t_i) contains paths P_1,...,P_k such that P_i connects s_i and t_i for i=1,...,k, and P_i and P_j have neither common vertices nor…

In this paper we study the routing and rebalancing problem for a fleet of autonomous vehicles providing on-demand transportation within a congested urban road network (that is, a road network where traffic speed depends on vehicle density).…

In this paper we fix 7 types of undirected graphs: paths, paths with prescribed endvertices, circuits, forests, spanning trees, (not necessarily spanning) trees and cuts. Given an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ and two "object types"…

We consider a generalized version of the (weighted) one-center problem on graphs. Given an undirected graph $G$ of $n$ vertices and $m$ edges and a positive integer $k\leq n$, the problem aims to find a point in $G$ so that the maximum…

Consider the family of graphs without $ k $ node-disjoint odd cycles, where $ k $ is a constant. Determining the complexity of the stable set problem for such graphs $ G $ is a long-standing problem. We give a polynomial-time algorithm for…

A subset $C$ of edges in a $k$-uniform hypergraph $H$ is a \emph{loose Hamilton cycle} if $C$ covers all the vertices of $H$ and there exists a cyclic ordering of these vertices such that the edges in $C$ are segments of that order and such…

We give the first almost-linear time algorithm for computing the \emph{maximal $k$-edge-connected subgraphs} of an undirected unweighted graph for any constant $k$. More specifically, given an $n$-vertex $m$-edge graph $G=(V,E)$ and a…

The densest $k$-subgraph problem is the problem of finding a $k$-vertex subgraph of a graph with the maximum number of edges. In order to solve large instances of the densest $k$-subgraph problem, we introduce two algorithms that are based…

Let $G$ be an undirected network with a distinguished set of terminals $T \subseteq V(G)$ and edge capacities $cap: E(G) \rightarrow \mathbb{R}_+$. By an odd $T$-walk we mean a walk in $G$ (with possible vertex and edge self-intersections)…

In this paper we study the maximum number of hyperedges which may be in an $r$-uniform hypergraph under the restriction that no pair of vertices has more than $t$ Berge paths of length $k$ between them. When $r=t=2$, this is the even-cycle…

A directed graph $D$ is singly connected if for every ordered pair of vertices $(s,t)$, there is at most one path from $s$ to $t$ in $D$. Graph orientation problems ask, given an undirected graph $G$, to find an orientation of the edges…

An $r$-simple $k$-path is a {path} in the graph of length $k$ that passes through each vertex at most $r$ times. The $r$-SIMPLE $k$-PATH problem, given a graph $G$ as input, asks whether there exists an $r$-simple $k$-path in $G$. We first…

We extend the well known bottleneck paths problem in two directions for directed unweighted (unit edge cost) graphs with positive real edge capacities. Firstly we narrow the problem domain and compute the bottleneck of the entire network in…
