On a GPU cluster, the ratio of high computing power to communication bandwidth makes scaling breadth-first search (BFS) on a scale-free graph extremely challenging. By separating high and low out-degree vertices, we present an…
Motivated by systems where the information is represented by a graph, such as neural networks, associative memories, and distributed systems, we present in this work a new class of codes, called codes over graphs. Under this paradigm, the…
One of the most important and well-studied settings for network design is edge-connectivity requirements. This encompasses uniform demands such as the Minimum $k$-Edge-Connected Spanning Subgraph problem ($k$-ECSS), as well as nonuniform…
We analyse signed networks from the perspective of balance theory which predicts structural balance as a global structure for signed social networks that represent groups of friends and enemies. The scarcity of balanced networks encouraged…
The reassembling of a simple connected graph G = (V,E) is an abstraction of a problem arising in earlier studies of network analysis. The reassembling process has a simple formulation (there are several equivalent formulations) relative to…
In large scale distributed storage systems (DSS) deployed in cloud computing, correlated failures resulting in simultaneous failure (or, unavailability) of blocks of nodes are common. In such scenarios, the stored data or a content of a…
Given an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ with positive edge lengths and two vertices $s$ and $t$, the next-to-shortest path problem is to find an $st$-path which length is minimum amongst all $st$-paths strictly longer than the shortest path…
There has recently been significant interest in fault tolerant spanners, which are spanners that still maintain their stretch guarantees after some nodes or edges fail. This work has culminated in an almost complete understanding of the…
We consider a new problem of designing a network with small $s$-$t$ effective resistance. In this problem, we are given an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$, two designated vertices $s,t \in V$, and a budget $k$. The goal is to choose a subgraph…
The \textit{longest path transversal number} of a connected graph $G$, denoted by $lpt(G)$, is the minimum size of a set of vertices of $G$ that intersects all longest paths in $G$. We present constant upper bounds for the longest path…
Given a graph $G=(V,E)$, the minimum branch vertices problem consists in finding a spanning tree $T=(V,E')$ of $G$ minimizing the number of vertices with degree greater than two. We consider a simple combinatorial lower bound for the…
Graph structure learning aims to learn connectivity in a graph from data. It is particularly important for many computer vision related tasks since no explicit graph structure is available for images for most cases. A natural way to…
We consider straight line drawings of a planar graph $G$ with possible edge crossings. The \emph{untangling problem} is to eliminate all edge crossings by moving as few vertices as possible to new positions. Let $fix(G)$ denote the maximum…
The basic (and traditional) crossing number problem is to determine the minimum number of crossings in a topological drawing of an input graph in the plane. We develop a unified framework yielding fixed-parameter tractable (FPT) algorithms…
In the problem Fault-Tolerant Path (FTP), we are given an edge-weighted directed graph G = (V, E), a subset U \subseteq E of vulnerable edges, two vertices s, t \in V, and integers k and \ell. The task is to decide whether there exists a…
We propose a filtering feature selection framework that considers subsets of features as paths in a graph, where a node is a feature and an edge indicates pairwise (customizable) relations among features, dealing with relevance and…
Recent work by Elmasry et al. (STACS 2015) and Asano et al. (ISAAC 2014), reconsidered classical fundamental graph algorithms focusing on improving the space complexity. We continue this line of work focusing on space. Our first result is a…
We revisit the problem of fault-tolerant (FT) distance preservers, when failure events in the network admit a form of correlation modeled as color faults. FT distance preservers are sparse subgraphs that preserve distances between specified…
We study the problem of maintaining a breadth-first spanning tree (BFS tree) in partially dynamic distributed networks modeling a sequence of either failures or additions of communication links (but not both). We present deterministic…
The problem of space-efficient depth-first search (DFS) is reconsidered. A particularly simple and fast algorithm is presented that, on a directed or undirected input graph $G=(V,E)$ with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, carries out a DFS in…
