The directed graph reachability problem takes as input an $n$-vertex directed graph $G=(V,E)$, and two distinguished vertices $s$ and $t$. The problem is to determine whether there exists a path from $s$ to $t$ in $G$. This is a canonical…
Given a connected undirected weighted graph, we are concerned with problems related to partitioning the graph. First of all we look for the closest disconnected graph (the minimum cut problem), here with respect to the Euclidean norm. We…
We consider exact distance oracles for directed weighted planar graphs in the presence of failing vertices. Given a source vertex $u$, a target vertex $v$ and a set $X$ of $k$ failed vertices, such an oracle returns the length of a shortest…
We design a deterministic algorithm that, given $n$ points in a \emph{typical} constant degree regular~graph, queries $O(n)$ distances to output a constant factor approximation to the average distance among those points, thus answering a…

In the trace reconstruction problem our goal is to learn an unknown string $x\in \{0,1\}^n$ given independent traces of $x$. A trace is obtained by independently deleting each bit of $x$ with some probability $\delta$ and concatenating the…
In the Network Inference problem, one seeks to recover the edges of an unknown graph from the observations of cascades propagating over this graph. In this paper, we approach this problem from the sparse recovery perspective. We introduce a…
