We study a geometric representation problem, where we are given a set $\cal R$ of axis-aligned rectangles with fixed dimensions and a graph with vertex set $\cal R$. The task is to place the rectangles without overlap such that two…
In this paper we focus on the following constrained reachability problem over edge-labeled graphs like RDF -- "given source node x, destination node y, and a sequence of edge labels (a, b, c, d), is there a path between the two nodes such…
$H$-Packing is the problem of finding a maximum number of vertex-disjoint copies of $H$ in a given graph $G$. $H$-Partition is the special case of finding a set of vertex-disjoint copies that cover each vertex of $G$ exactly once. Our goal…
We present a complete classification of the deterministic distributed time complexity for a family of graph problems: binary labeling problems in trees. These are locally checkable problems that can be encoded with an alphabet of size two…
In p-median location interdiction the aim is to find a subset of edges in a graph, such that the objective value of the p-median problem in the same graph without the selected edges is as large as possible. We prove that this problem is…
In the Online Machine Covering problem jobs, defined by their sizes, arrive one by one and have to be assigned to $m$ parallel and identical machines, with the goal of maximizing the load of the least-loaded machine. In this work, we study…
Dense subgraph discovery is an important primitive in graph mining, which has a wide variety of applications in diverse domains. In the densest subgraph problem, given an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ with an edge-weight vector $w=(w_e)_{e\in…
We study the following geometric representation problem: Given a graph whose vertices correspond to axis-aligned rectangles with fixed dimensions, arrange the rectangles without overlaps in the plane such that two rectangles touch if the…
The area of judicious partitioning considers the general family of partitioning problems in which one seeks to optimize several parameters simultaneously, and these problems have been widely studied in various combinatorial contexts. In…
The article studies edge coverage for control flow graphs extended with explicit constraints. Achieving a given level of white-box coverage for a given code is a classic problem in software testing. We focus on designing test sets that…
In this paper we consider the problem of testing whether a graph has bounded arboricity. The family of graphs with bounded arboricity includes, among others, bounded-degree graphs, all minor-closed graph classes (e.g. planar graphs, graphs…
Many phenomena in real world social networks are interpreted as spread of influence between activated and non-activated network elements. These phenomena are formulated by combinatorial graphs, where vertices represent the elements and…
We introduce a variation of the scheduling with precedence constraints problem that has applications to molecular folding and production management. We are given a bipartite graph $H=(B,S)$. Vertices in $B$ are thought of as goods or…
The best merge problem in industrial data science generates instances where disparate data sources place incompatible relational structures on the same set $V$ of objects. Graph vertex labelling data may include (1) missing or erroneous…
Recently, a new way of avoiding crossings in straight-line drawings of non-planar graphs has been investigated. The idea of partial edge drawings (PED) is to drop the middle part of edges and rely on the remaining edge parts called stubs.…
The widely studied edge modification problems ask how to minimally alter a graph to satisfy certain structural properties. In this paper, we introduce and study a new edge modification problem centered around transforming a given graph into…
The notion of graph covers (also referred to as locally bijective homomorphisms) plays an important role in topological graph theory and has found its computer science applications in models of local computation. For a fixed target graph…
We propose a new approach to the Chinese word segmentation problem that considers the sentence as an undirected graph, whose nodes are the characters. One can use various techniques to compute the edge weights that measure the connection…
The classical no-three-in-line problem is to find the maximum number of points that can be placed in the $n \times n$ grid so that no three points lie on a line. Given a set $S$ of points in an Euclidean plane, the General Position Subset…
It is known that every multigraph with an even number of edges has an even orientation (i.e., all indegrees are even). We study parity constrained graph orientations under additional constraints. We consider two types of constraints for a…
