We consider the problem of inferring a matching hidden in a weighted random $k$-hypergraph. We assume that the hyperedges' weights are random and distributed according to two different densities conditioning on the fact that they belong to…
It is required to find an optimal order of constructing the edges of a network so as to minimize the sum of the weighted connection times of relevant pairs of vertices. Construction can be performed anytime anywhere in the network, with a…
Constructing the maximum spanning tree $T$ of an edge-weighted connected graph $G$ is one of the important research topics in computer science and optimization, and the related research results have played an active role in practical…
We consider the problem of adding a fixed number of new edges to an undirected graph in order to minimize the diameter of the augmented graph, and under the constraint that the number of edges added for each vertex is bounded by an integer.…
We consider the problem of how much edge connectivity is necessary to force a graph G to contain a fixed graph H as an immersion. We show that if the maximum degree in H is D, then all the examples of D-edge connected graphs which do not…
A cut in a graph $G$ is called a {\em bond} if both parts of the cut induce connected subgraphs in $G$, and the {\em bond polytope} is the convex hull of all bonds. Computing the maximum weight bond is an NP-hard problem even for planar…
A connected graph $G$ with at least $2m + 2n + 2$ vertices which contains a perfect matching is $E(m, n)$-{\it extendable}, if for any two sets of disjoint independent edges $M$ and $N$ with $|M| = m$ and $|N|= n$, there is a perfect…
We consider the \emph{Budgeted} version of the classical \emph{Connected Dominating Set} problem (BCDS). Given a graph $G$ and a budget $k$, we seek a connected subset of at most $k$ vertices maximizing the number of dominated vertices in…
Graph $G$ is $F$-saturated if $G$ contains no copy of graph $F$ but any edge added to $G$ produces at least one copy of $F$. One common variant of saturation is to remove the former restriction: $G$ is $F$-semi-saturated if any edge added…
Signed graph neural networks (SGNNs) has recently drawn more attention as many real-world networks are signed networks containing two types of edges: positive and negative. The existence of negative edges affects the SGNN robustness on two…
Data augmentation has been widely used to improve generalizability of machine learning models. However, comparatively little work studies data augmentation for graphs. This is largely due to the complex, non-Euclidean structure of graphs,…
In this paper, we study the weighted stochastic matching problem. Let $G=(V, E)$ be a given edge-weighted graph and let its realization $\mathcal{G}$ be a random subgraph of $G$ that includes each edge $e\in E$ independently with a known…
Spectral graph sparsification has emerged as a powerful tool in the analysis of large-scale networks by reducing the overall number of edges, while maintaining a comparable graph Laplacian matrix. In this paper, we present an efficient…
A bipartite graph $G=(U,V,E)$ is convex if the vertices in $V$ can be linearly ordered such that for each vertex $u\in U$, the neighbors of $u$ are consecutive in the ordering of $V$. An induced matching $H$ of $G$ is a matching such that…
We consider the fundamental problems of determining the rooted and global edge and vertex connectivities (and computing the corresponding cuts) in directed graphs. For rooted (and hence also global) edge connectivity with small integer…
Dense subgraph discovery is a fundamental problem in graph mining with a wide range of applications \cite{gionis2015dense}. Despite a large number of applications ranging from computational neuroscience to social network analysis, that take…
Motivated by applications in social and biological network analysis, we introduce a new form of agnostic clustering termed~\emph{motif correlation clustering}, which aims to minimize the cost of clustering errors associated with both edges…
For a given multigraph H, a graph G is H-linked, if |G| \geq |H| and for every injective map {\tau}: V (H) \rightarrow V (G), we can find internally disjoint paths in G, such that every edge from uv in H corresponds to a {\tau} (u) - {\tau}…
We obtain an algorithmic meta-theorem for the following optimization problem. Let \phi\ be a Counting Monadic Second Order Logic (CMSO) formula and t be an integer. For a given graph G, the task is to maximize |X| subject to the following:…
We consider a weighted counting problem on matchings, denoted $\textrm{PrMatching}(\mathcal{G})$, on an arbitrary fixed graph family $\mathcal{G}$. The input consists of a graph $G\in \mathcal{G}$ and of rational probabilities of existence…
