Given an integer k, we consider the parallel k-stripping process applied to a hypergraph H: removing all vertices with degree less than k in each iteration until reaching the k-core of H. Take H as H_r(n,m): a random r-uniform hypergraph on…
We present an algorithm for updating the Reeb graph under fully dynamic changes of the function values. The basic event is the interchange of two consecutive vertex values. The algorithm updates the Reeb graph in $O(l g{n})$ worst-case…
We study the Independent Feedback Vertex Set problem - a variant of the classic Feedback Vertex Set problem where, given a graph $G$ and an integer $k$, the problem is to decide whether there exists a vertex set $S\subseteq V(G)$ such that…
A classical result of Koml\'os, S\'ark\"ozy and Szemer\'edi states that every $n$-vertex graph with minimum degree at least $(1/2+ o(1))n$ contains every $n$-vertex tree with maximum degree $O(n/\log{n})$ as a subgraph, and the bounds on…
The classical Menger's theorem states that in any undirected (or directed) graph $G$, given a pair of vertices $s$ and $t$, the maximum number of vertex (edge) disjoint paths is equal to the minimum number of vertices (edges) needed to…
An instance of the Connected Maximum Cut problem consists of an undirected graph G = (V, E) and the goal is to find a subset of vertices S $\subseteq$ V that maximizes the number of edges in the cut \delta(S) such that the induced graph…
The All-Pairs Min-Cut problem (aka All-Pairs Max-Flow) asks to compute a minimum $s$-$t$ cut (or just its value) for all pairs of vertices $s,t$. We study this problem in directed graphs with unit edge/vertex capacities (corresponding to…
In this paper we study a maximization version of the classical Edge Dominating Set (EDS) problem, namely, the Upper EDS problem, in the realm of Parameterized Complexity. In this problem, given an undirected graph $G$, a positive integer…
In this paper, we investigate some basic connectivity problems in directed graphs (digraphs). Let $G$ be a digraph with $m$ edges and $n$ vertices, and let $G\setminus e$ be the digraph obtained after deleting edge $e$ from $G$. As a first…
Real-world networks are prone to breakdowns. Typically in the underlying graph $G$, besides the insertion or deletion of edges, the set of active vertices changes overtime. A vertex might work actively, or it might fail, and gets isolated…
Given a directed graph, G=(V,E), a path query, path(u,v), returns whether there is a directed path from u to v in G, for u,v vertices in V. Given only V, exactly learning all the edges in G using path queries is often impossible, since path…
We study the problem of Upward Point-Set Embeddability, that is the problem of deciding whether a given upward planar digraph $D$ has an upward planar embedding into a point set $S$. We show that any switch tree admits an upward planar…
Vertex deletion to hereditary graph class is well-studied in parameterized complexity. Vertex deletion to the scattered graph classes has gained attention in recent years. In this paper, we consider (Proper-Interval, Tree)-Vertex Deletion,…
We consider the problem of uniformly generating a spanning tree, of a connected undirected graph. This process is useful to compute statistics, namely for phylogenetic trees. We describe a Markov chain for producing these trees. For cycle…
Graph drawing with spring embedders employs a V x V computation phase over the graph's vertex set to compute repulsive forces. Here, the efficacy of forces diminishes with distance: a vertex can effectively only influence other vertices in…
A stable cutset is a set of vertices $S$ of a connected graph, that is pairwise non-adjacent and when deleting $S$, the graph becomes disconnected. Determining the existence of a stable cutset in a graph is known to be NP-complete. In this…
We present a link-by-link rule-based method for constructing all members of the ensemble of spanning trees for any recursively generated, finitely articulated graph, such as the DGM net. The recursions allow for many large-scale properties…
In this paper we give the first efficient algorithms for the $k$-center problem on dynamic graphs undergoing edge updates. In this problem, the goal is to partition the input into $k$ sets by choosing $k$ centers such that the maximum…
Consider the following "local" cut-detection problem in a directed graph: We are given a seed vertex $x$ and need to remove at most $k$ edges so that at most $\nu$ edges can be reached from $x$ (a "local" cut) or output $\bot$ to indicate…
It is $\mathsf{NP}$-hard to determine the minimum number of branching vertices needed in a single-source distance-preserving subgraph of an undirected graph. We show that this problem can be solved in polynomial time if the input graph is…
