In this work we take a step towards characterising strongly flip-flat classes of graphs. Strong flip-flatness appears to be the analogue of uniform almost-wideness in the setting of dense classes of graphs. We prove that strongly flip-flat…
A natural requirement of many distributed structures is fault-tolerance: after some failures, whatever remains from the structure should still be effective for whatever remains from the network. In this paper we examine spanners of general…
Despite extensive research on distance oracles, there are still large gaps between the best constructions for spanners and distance oracles. Notably, there exist sparse spanners with a multiplicative stretch of $1+\varepsilon$ plus some…
The divisor graph is the non oriented graph whose vertices are the positive integers, and edges are the {a,b} such that a divides b. Let P(n) be the largest prime factor of n, S(x,y) = {n<=x: P(n) <= y} and Psi(x,y) = Card S(x,y). Let…
We investigate the spectral form factor of the sparse Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model. We use numerical methods to establish that at intermediate times the connected part of the spectral form factor is the dominant one. These connected…
We present tight bounds on the spanning ratio of a large family of ordered $\theta$-graphs. A $\theta$-graph partitions the plane around each vertex into $m$ disjoint cones, each having aperture $\theta = 2 \pi/m$. An ordered $\theta$-graph…
Given a set $P$ of $n$ points in the plane, we show how to compute in $O(n \log n)$ time a subgraph of their Delaunay triangulation that has maximum degree 7 and is a strong planar $t$-spanner of $P$ with $t =(1+ \sqrt{2})^2 *\delta$, where…
Given a finite set $P\subset\mathbb{R}^2$, the directed Theta-6 graph, denoted $\vec{\Theta}_6(P)$, is a well-studied geometric graph due to its close relationship with the Delaunay triangulation. The $\vec{\Theta}_6(P)$-graph is defined as…
We consider a random graph G(n,p) whose vertex set V has been randomly embedded in the unit square and whose edges are given weight equal to the geometric distance between their end vertices. Then each pair {u,v} of vertices have a distance…
We study the problem of computing geometric spanners for (additively) weighted point sets. A weighted point set is a set of pairs $(p,r)$ where $p$ is a point in the plane and $r$ is a real number. The distance between two points…
The binding number of a graph $G$, written as $\mbox{bind}(G)$, is defined by $$ \mbox{bind}(G)=\min\left\{\frac{|N_G(X)|}{|X|}:\emptyset\neq X\subseteq V(G),N_G(X)\neq V(G)\right\}. $$ A graph $G$ is called $r$-binding if…
We consider the number of vertices that must be removed from a graph G in order that the remaining subgraph has no component with more than k vertices. Our principal observation is that, if G is a sparse random graph or a random regular…
A graph is $k$-degenerate if every subgraph $H$ has a vertex $v$ with $d_{H}(v) \leq k$. The class of degenerate graphs plays an important role in the graph coloring theory. Observed that every $k$-degenerate graph is $(k + 1)$-choosable…
In a geometric graph, $G$, the \emph{stretch factor} between two vertices, $u$ and $w$, is the ratio between the Euclidean length of the shortest path from $u$ to $w$ in $G$ and the Euclidean distance between $u$ and $w$. The \emph{average…
We consider additive spanners of unweighted undirected graphs. Let $G$ be a graph and $H$ a subgraph of $G$. The most na\"ive way to construct an additive $k$-spanner of $G$ is the following: As long as $H$ is not an additive $k$-spanner…
In this draft we prove an interesting structural property related to the problem of computing {\em all the best swap edges} of a {\em tree spanner} in unweighted graphs. Previous papers show that the maximum stretch factor of the tree where…
In this thesis, we study two different graph problems. The first problem revolves around geometric spanners. Here, we have a set of points in the plane and we want to connect them with straight line segments, such that there is a path…
This paper presents efficient distributed algorithms for a number of fundamental problems in the area of graph sparsification: We provide the first deterministic distributed algorithm that computes an ultra-sparse spanner in…
Let E be the complete Euclidean graph on a set of points embedded in the plane. Given a constant t >= 1, a spanning subgraph G of E is said to be a t-spanner, or simply a spanner, if for any pair of vertices u,v in E the distance between u…
Given a finite set S of points in the plane and a real value d > 0, the d-radius disk graph G^d contains all edges connecting pairs of points in S that are within distance d of each other. For a given graph G with vertex set S, the Yao…
