Two mobile agents, starting from different nodes of a network modeled as a graph, and woken up at possibly different times, have to meet at the same node. This problem is known as rendezvous. We consider deterministic distributed rendezvous…
Node classification on graphs can be formulated as the Dirichlet problem on graphs where the signal is given at the labeled nodes, and the harmonic extension is done on the unlabeled nodes. This paper considers a time-dependent version of…
We consider a decision network on an undirected graph in which each node corresponds to a decision variable, and each node and edge of the graph is associated with a reward function whose value depends only on the variables of the…
The goal of the ranking problem in networks is to rank nodes from best to worst, according to a chosen criterion. In this work, we focus on ranking the nodes according to their quality. The problem of ranking the nodes in bipartite networks…
In a node-labeled graph, keyword search finds subtrees of the graph whose nodes contain all of the query keywords. This provides a way to query graph databases that neither requires mastery of a query language such as SPARQL, nor a deep…
The following optimal stopping problem is considered. The vertices of a graph $G$ are revealed one by one, in a random order, to a selector. He aims to stop this process at a time $t$ that maximizes the expected number of connected…

Given a social network, which of its nodes have a stronger impact in determining its structure? More formally: which node-removal order has the greatest impact on the network structure? We approach this well-known problem for the first time…
In this paper we focus on the following constrained reachability problem over edge-labeled graphs like RDF -- "given source node x, destination node y, and a sequence of edge labels (a, b, c, d), is there a path between the two nodes such…
In a temporal graph the edge set dynamically changes over time according to a set of time-labels associated with each edge that indicates at which time-steps the edge is available. Two vertices are connected if there is a path connecting…
Node classification is one of the core tasks on attributed graphs, but successful graph learning solutions require sufficiently labeled data. To keep annotation costs low, active graph learning focuses on selecting the most qualitative…
In the graph label selection problem, one is given an $n$-vertex graph and a budget $k$, and seeks to select $k$ vertices whose labels enable accurate prediction of the labels on the remaining vertices. This problem formalizes distilling a…

Edge-labeled graphs are widely used to describe relationships between entities in a database. Given a query subgraph that represents an example of what the user is searching for, we study the problem of efficiently searching for similar…
A distance labeling scheme is an assignments of labels, that is binary strings, to all nodes of a graph, so that the distance between any two nodes can be computed from their labels and the labels are as short as possible. A major open…

There are many methods to find a maximum (or maximal) clique in large networks. Due to the nature of combinatorics, computation becomes exponentially expensive as the number of vertices in a graph increases. Thus, there is a need for…
In this paper, we study using graph neural networks (GNNs) for \textit{multi-node representation learning}, where a representation for a set of more than one node (such as a link) is to be learned. Existing GNNs are mainly designed to learn…
