A graph spanner is a fundamental graph structure that faithfully preserves the pairwise distances in the input graph up to a small multiplicative stretch. The common objective in the computation of spanners is to achieve the best-known…

Persistence diagrams (PDs), often characterized as sets of death and birth of homology class, have been known for providing a topological representation of a graph structure, which is often useful in machine learning tasks. Prior works rely…

Given an edge-weighted graph $G$ and $\epsilon>0$, a $(1+\epsilon)$-spanner is a spanning subgraph $G'$ whose shortest path distances approximate those of $G$ within a $(1+\epsilon)$ factor. If $G$ is from certain minor-closed graph…

Resilience is meant as the capability of a networked infrastructure to provide its service even if some components fail: in this paper we focus on how resilience depends both on net-wide measures of connectivity and the role of a single…

A subgraph $H$ of a multigraph $G$ is called strongly spanning, if any vertex of $G$ is not isolated in $H$, while it is called maximum $k$-edge-colorable, if $H$ is proper $k$-edge-colorable and has the largest size. We introduce a…

As the scale of networked control systems increases and interactions between different subsystems become more sophisticated, questions of the resilience of such networks increase in importance. The need to redefine classical system and…

The restoration lemma by Afek, Bremler-Barr, Kaplan, Cohen, and Merritt [Dist. Comp. '02] proves that, in an undirected unweighted graph, any replacement shortest path avoiding a failing edge can be expressed as the concatenation of two…

In this paper we address the problem of computing a sparse subgraph of a weighted directed graph such that the exact distances from a designated source vertex to all other vertices are preserved under bounded weight increment. Finding a…

We show that every locally sparse graph contains a linearly sized expanding subgraph. For constants $c_1>c_2>1$, $0<\alpha<1$, a graph $G$ on $n$ vertices is called a $(c_1,c_2,\alpha)$-graph if it has at least $c_1n$ edges, but every…

A graph $G$ is called collapsible if for every even subset $R\subseteq V(G)$, there is a spanning connected subgraph $H$ of $G$ such that $R$ is the set of vertices of odd degree in $H$. A graph is the reduction of $G$ if it is obtained…

Graph neural networks (GNNs) work remarkably well in semi-supervised node regression, yet a rigorous theory explaining when and why they succeed remains lacking. To address this gap, we study an aggregate-and-readout model that encompasses…

This work introduces a highly-scalable spectral graph densification framework (SGL) for learning resistor networks with linear measurements, such as node voltages and currents. We show that the proposed graph learning approach is equivalent…

We present a framework to define a large class of neural networks for which, by construction, training by gradient flow provably reaches arbitrarily low loss when the number of parameters grows. Distinct from the fixed-space global…

In this paper we present various lower bound results on collective tree spanners and on spanners of bounded treewidth. A graph $G$ is said to admit a system of $\mu$ collective additive tree $c$-spanners if there is a system $\cal{T}$$(G)$…

The toughness of a graph $G$ is defined as the largest real number $t$ such that for any set $S\subseteq V(G)$ such that $G-S$ is disconnected, $S$ has at least $t$ times more elements than $G-S$ has components (unless $G$ is complete, in…

Network robustness is a measure a network's ability to survive adversarial attacks. But not all parts of a network are equal. K-cores, which are dense subgraphs, are known to capture some of the key properties of many real-life networks.…
