An algorithm observes the trajectories of random walks over an unknown graph $G$, starting from the same vertex $x$, as well as the degrees along the trajectories. For all finite connected graphs, one can estimate the number of edges $m$ up…
The paper is divided in to two parts. In the first part we present some new results for the \textit{routing via matching} model introduced by Alon et al\cite{5}. This model can be viewed as a communication scheme on a distributed network.…
This paper details a new algorithm to solve the shortest path problem in valued graphs. Its complexity is $O(D \log v)$ where $D$ is the graph diameter and $v$ its number of vertices. This complexity has to be compared to the one of the…
The girth of a graph is the length of its shortest cycle. Due to its relevance in graph theory, network analysis and practical fields such as distributed computing, girth-related problems have been object of attention in both past and…
This paper deals with the problem of finding a collection of vertex-disjoint paths in a given graph G=(V,E) such that each path has at least four vertices and the total number of vertices in these paths is maximized. The problem is NP-hard…
Consider an undirected weighted graph $G = (V,E,w)$. We study the problem of computing $(1+\epsilon)$-approximate shortest paths for $S \times V$, for a subset $S \subseteq V$ of $|S| = n^r$ sources, for some $0 < r \le 1$. We devise a…
Simplifying graphs is a very applicable problem in numerous domains, especially in computational geometry. Given a geometric graph and a threshold, the minimum-complexity graph simplification asks for computing an alternative graph of…
We study computing {\em all-pairs shortest paths} (APSP) on distributed networks (the CONGEST model). The goal is for every node in the (weighted) network to know the distance from every other node using communication. The problem admits…
For a graph G=(V,E), finding a set of disjoint edges that do not share any vertices is called a matching problem, and finding the maximum matching is a fundamental problem in the theory of distributed graph algorithms. Although local…
The enumeration of minimal connected dominating sets is known to be notoriously hard for general graphs. Currently, it is only known that the sets can be enumerated slightly faster than $\mathcal{O}^{*}(2^n)$ and the algorithm is highly…
Random walk based distributed algorithms make use of a token that circulates in the system according to a random walk scheme to achieve their goal. To study their efficiency and compare it to one of the deterministic solutions, one is led…
In the restricted shortest paths problem, we are given a graph $G$ whose edges are assigned two non-negative weights: lengths and delays, a source $s$, and a delay threshold $D$. The goal is to find, for each target $t$, the length of the…
The bandwidth of a graph G on n vertices is the minimum b such that the vertices of G can be labeled from 1 to n such that the labels of every pair of adjacent vertices differ by at most b. In this paper, we present a 2-approximation…
Hyperbolicity is a graph parameter which indicates how much the shortest-path distance metric of a graph deviates from a tree metric. It is used in various fields such as networking, security, and bioinformatics for the classification of…

In this paper, we investigate the transmission range assignment for N wireless nodes located on a line (a linear wireless network) for broadcasting data from one specific node to all the nodes in the network with minimum energy. Our goal is…
We consider global problems, i.e. problems that take at least diameter time, even when the bandwidth is not restricted. We show that all problems considered admit efficient solutions in low-treewidth graphs. By ``efficient'' we mean that…
The distributed single-source shortest paths problem is one of the most fundamental and central problems in the message-passing distributed computing. Classical Bellman-Ford algorithm solves it in $O(n)$ time, where $n$ is the number of…
We consider the problem of augmenting an n-vertex graph embedded in a metric space, by inserting one additional edge in order to minimize the diameter of the resulting graph. We present exact algorithms for the cases when (i) the input…
A simplicial vertex of a graph is a vertex whose neighborhood is a clique. It is known that listing all simplicial vertices can be done in $O(nm)$ time or $O(n^{\omega})$ time, where $O(n^{\omega})$ is the time needed to perform a fast…
