We consider the Shallow-Light Steiner Network problem from a fixed-parameter perspective. Given a graph $G$, a distance bound $L$, and $p$ pairs of vertices $(s_1,t_1),\cdots,(s_p,t_p)$, the objective is to find a minimum-cost subgraph $G'$…
Graph-based indexes have been widely employed to accelerate approximate similarity search of high-dimensional vectors. However, the performance of graph indexes to answer different queries varies vastly, leading to an unstable quality of…
In this paper, we study the online Euclidean spanners problem for points in $\mathbb{R}^d$. Suppose we are given a sequence of $n$ points $(s_1,s_2,\ldots, s_n)$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$, where point $s_i$ is presented in step~$i$ for $i=1,\ldots,…
Motivated by sequential budgeted allocation problems, we investigate online matching problems where connections between vertices are not i.i.d., but they have fixed degree distributions -- the so-called configuration model. We estimate the…
The undirected degree/diameter and degree/girth problems and their directed analogues have been studied for many decades in the search for efficient network topologies. Recently such questions have received much attention in the setting of…
The Steiner tree problem is one of the most prominent problems in network design. Given an edge-weighted undirected graph and a subset of the vertices, called terminals, the task is to compute a minimum-weight tree containing all terminals…
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) enables flexible network resource allocations for traffic engineering, but at the same time the scalability problem becomes more serious since traffic is more difficult to be aggregated. Those crucial…
Cartesian product networks are always regarded as a tool for ``combining'' two given networks with established properties to obtain a new one that inherits properties from both. For a graph $F=(V,E)$ and a set $S\subseteq V(F)$ of at least…
In the k-Connected Directed Steiner Tree problem (k-DST), we are given a directed graph G=(V, E) with edge (or vertex) costs, a root vertex r, a set of q terminals T, and a connectivity requirement k>0; the goal is to find a minimum-cost…

The Directed Steiner Network (DSN) problem takes as input a directed edge-weighted graph $G=(V,E)$ and a set $\mathcal{D}\subseteq V\times V$ of $k$ demand pairs. The aim is to compute the cheapest network $N\subseteq G$ for which there is…
We study the multi-level Steiner tree problem: a generalization of the Steiner tree problem in graphs where terminals $T$ require varying priority, level, or quality of service. In this problem, we seek to find a minimum cost tree…

The network reconfiguration problem seeks to find a rooted tree $T$ such that the energy of the (unique) feasible electrical flow over $T$ is minimized. The tree requirement on the support of the flow is motivated by operational constraints…
