For a given graph $G=(V,\, E)$ with a terminal set $S$ and a selected root $r\in S$, a positive integer cost and a delay on every edge and a delay constraint $D\in Z^{+}$, the shallow-light Steiner tree (\emph{SLST}) problem is to compute a…

We consider the problem of maintaining a $(1-\epsilon)$-approximation to the densest subgraph (DSG) in an undirected multigraph as it undergoes edge insertions and deletions (the fully dynamic setting). Sawlani and Wang [SW20] developed a…
We introduce and study the general problem of finding a most "scale-free-like" spanning tree of a connected graph. It is motivated by a particular problem in epidemiology, and may be useful in studies of various dynamical processes in…

Finding a minimum spanning tree (MST) for $n$ points in an arbitrary metric space is a fundamental primitive for hierarchical clustering and many other ML tasks, but this takes $\Omega(n^2)$ time to even approximate. We introduce a…
The maximum common subtree isomorphism problem asks for the largest possible isomorphism between subtrees of two given input trees. This problem is a natural restriction of the maximum common subgraph problem, which is ${\sf NP}$-hard in…
We consider the performance of the Depth First Search (DFS) algorithm on the random graph $G\left(n,\frac{1+\epsilon}{n}\right)$, $\epsilon>0$ a small constant. Recently, Enriquez, Faraud and M\'enard [2] proved that the stack $U$ of the…
Breadth-first search (BFS) is known as a basic search strategy for learning graph properties. As the scales of graph databases have increased tremendously in recent years, large-scale graphs G are often disk-resident. Obtaining the BFS…
