Given a graph, the sparsest cut problem asks for a subset of vertices whose edge expansion (the normalized cut given by the subset) is minimized. In this paper, we study a generalization of this problem seeking for $ k $ disjoint subsets of…
In this work, we consider adversarial crash faults of nodes in the network constructors model $[$Michail and Spirakis, 2016$]$. We first show that, without further assumptions, the class of graph languages that can be (stably) constructed…
Given an undirected graph $G$ and an error parameter $\epsilon > 0$, the {\em graph sparsification} problem requires sampling edges in $G$ and giving the sampled edges appropriate weights to obtain a sparse graph $G_{\epsilon}$ with the…
Let $H$ be a fixed graph and let $G$ be an $H$-minor free $n$-vertex graph with integer edge weights and no negative weight cycles reachable from a given vertex $s$. We present an algorithm that computes a shortest path tree in $G$ rooted…
Recent work by Elmasry et al. (STACS 2015) and Asano et al. (ISAAC 2014), reconsidered classical fundamental graph algorithms focusing on improving the space complexity. We continue this line of work focusing on space. Our first result is a…
Computing bounded depth decompositions is a bottleneck in many applications of the treedepth parameter. The fastest known algorithm, which is due to Reidl, Rossmanith, S\'{a}nchez Villaamil, and Sikdar [ICALP 2014], runs in…
Given an unweighted tree $T=(V,E)$ with terminals $K \subset V$, we show how to obtain a $2$-quality vertex flow and cut sparsifier $H$ with $V_H = K$. We prove that our result is essentially tight by providing a $2-o(1)$ lower-bound on the…
In recent years, spectral graph sparsification techniques that can compute ultra-sparse graph proxies have been extensively studied for accelerating various numerical and graph-related applications. Prior nearly-linear-time spectral…
As the sizes of graphs grow rapidly, currently many real-world graphs can hardly be loaded in the main memory. It becomes a hot topic to compute depth-first search (DFS) results, i.e., depth-first order or DFS-Tree, on semi-external memory…
It is known for many algorithmic problems that if a tree decomposition of width $t$ is given in the input, then the problem can be solved with exponential dependence on $t$. A line of research by Lokshtanov, Marx, and Saurabh [SODA 2011]…
Consider a search from the root of an ordered tree with $n$ edges to some target node at a fixed distance $\ell$ from that root. We compare the average time complexity of the breadth-first search (BFS) and depth-first search (DFS)…
A resolving set for a simple graph $G$ is a subset of vertex set of $G$ such that it distinguishes all vertices of $G$ using the shortest distance from this subset. This subset is a metric basis if it is the smallest set with this property.…
Spectral graph sparsification aims to find ultra-sparse subgraphs whose Laplacian matrix can well approximate the original Laplacian eigenvalues and eigenvectors. In recent years, spectral sparsification techniques have been extensively…
A set of vertices $S\subseteq V(G)$ is a basis or resolving set of a graph $G$ if for each $x,y\in V(G)$ there is a vertex $u\in S$ such that $d(x,u)\neq d(y,u)$. A basis $S$ is a fault-tolerant basis if $S\setminus \{x\}$ is a basis for…
We study approaches for the exact solution of the \NP--hard minimum spanning tree problem under conflict constraints. Given a graph $G(V,E)$ and a set $C \subset E \times E$ of conflicting edge pairs, the problem consists of finding a…
In the \textsc{Subset Feedback Vertex Set (Subset-FVS)} problem the input is a graph $G$, a subset \(T\) of vertices of \(G\) called the `terminal' vertices, and an integer $k$. The task is to determine whether there exists a subset of…
We consider the minimum cut problem in undirected, weighted graphs. We give a simple algorithm to find a minimum cut that $2$-respects (cuts two edges of) a spanning tree $T$ of a graph $G$. This procedure can be used in place of the…
We consider the problem of routing in presence of faults in undirected weighted graphs. More specifically, we focus on the design of compact name-independent fault-tolerant routing schemes, where the designer of the scheme is not allowed to…
A spanning tree $T$ of a connected graph $G$ is a subgraph of $G$ that is a tree covers all vertices of $G$. The leaf distance of $T$ is defined as the minimum of distances between any two leaves of $T$. A fractional matching of a graph $G$…
We show that the problem of recovering the topology and admittance of an electrical network from power and voltage data at all vertices is often ill-posed, and sometimes it even has multiple solutions. We reformulate the problem to seek for…
