We study the Steiner Tree problem on unit disk graphs. Given a $n$ vertex unit disk graph $G$, a subset $R\subseteq V(G)$ of $t$ vertices and a positive integer $k$, the objective is to decide if there exists a tree $T$ in $G$ that spans…
In the k-Apex problem the task is to find at most k vertices whose deletion makes the given graph planar. The graphs for which there exists a solution form a minor closed class of graphs, hence by the deep results of Robertson and Seymour,…
Answering connectivity queries is fundamental to fully dynamic graphs where edges and vertices are inserted and deleted frequently. Existing work proposes data structures and algorithms with worst-case guarantees. We propose a new data…
Fully dynamic graph is a data structure that (1) supports edge insertions and deletions and (2) answers problem specific queries. The time complexity of (1) and (2) are referred to as the update time and the query time respectively. There…
Dynamic tree data structures maintain a forest while supporting insertion and deletion of edges and a broad set of queries in $O(\log n)$ time per operation. Such data structures are at the core of many modern algorithms. Recent work has…
Searching for high-dimensional vector data with high accuracy is an inevitable search technology for various types of data. Graph-based indexes are known to reduce the query time for high-dimensional data. To further improve the query time…
We study the following optimization problem over a dynamical system that consists of several linear subsystems: Given a finite set of $n\times n$ matrices and an $n$-dimensional vector, find a sequence of $K$ matrices, each chosen from the…
The $K$-core of a graph is the unique maximum subgraph within which each vertex connects to $K$ or more other vertices. The optimal $K$-core attack problem asks to delete the minimum number of vertices from the $K$-core to induce its…
We study two fundamental decremental dynamic graph problems. In both problems, we need to maintain a vertex-weighted forest of size $n$ under edge deletions, weight updates, and a certain information-retrieval query. Both problems can be…
In the point set embeddability problem, we are given a plane graph $G$ with $n$ vertices and a point set $S$ with $n$ points. Now the goal is to answer the question whether there exists a straight-line drawing of $G$ such that each vertex…
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 present a simple linear-time algorithm that finds a spanning tree $T$ of a given $2$-edge-connected graph $G$ such that each vertex $v$ of $T$ has degree at most $\lceil \frac{\deg_G(v)}{2}\rceil + 1$.
A dynamic forest data structure maintains a forest (and associated data like edge weights) under edge insertions and deletions. Dynamic forests are widely used to solve online and offline graph problems. Well-known examples of dynamic…
We present an algorithm to support the dynamic embedding in the plane of a dynamic graph. An edge can be inserted across a face between two vertices on the face boundary (we call such a vertex pair linkable), and edges can be deleted. The…
Given a graph $G = (V,E)$, a vertex $u \in V$ ve-dominates all edges incident to any vertex of $N_G[u]$. A set $S \subseteq V$ is a ve-dominating set if for all edges $e\in E$, there exists a vertex $u \in S$ such that $u$ ve-dominates $e$.…
Dynamic connectivity is a well-studied problem, but so far the most compelling progress has been confined to the edge-update model: maintain an understanding of connectivity in an undirected graph, subject to edge insertions and deletions.…
Dynamic programming is a powerful technique that is, unfortunately, often inherently sequential. That is, there exists no unified method to parallelize algorithms that use dynamic programming. In this paper, we attempt to address this issue…
A tree $\sigma$-spanner of a positively real-weighted $n$-vertex and $m$-edge undirected graph $G$ is a spanning tree $T$ of $G$ which approximately preserves (i.e., up to a multiplicative stretch factor $\sigma$) distances in $G$. Tree…
We show that, for any graph optimization problem in which the feasible solutions can be expressed by a formula in monadic second-order logic describing sets of vertices or edges and in which the goal is to minimize the sum of the weights in…
We introduce top trees as a design of a new simpler interface for data structures maintaining information in a fully-dynamic forest. We demonstrate how easy and versatile they are to use on a host of different applications. For example, we…
