The tree-cut width of a graph is a graph parameter defined by Wollan [J. Comb. Theory, Ser. B, 110:47-66, 2015] with the help of tree-cut decompositions. In certain cases, tree-cut width appears to be more adequate than treewidth as an…

Network design problems aim to compute low-cost structures such as routes, trees and subgraphs. Often, it is natural and desirable to require that these structures have small hop length or hop diameter. Unfortunately, optimization problems…
We initiate a systematic study of algorithms that are both differentially private and run in sublinear time for several problems in which the goal is to estimate natural graph parameters. Our main result is a differentially-private…
