Interdiction problems are leader-follower games in which the leader is allowed to delete a certain number of edges from the graph in order to maximally impede the follower, who is trying to solve an optimization problem on the impeded…
Graph labeling problems have been widely studied in the last decades and have a vast area of application. In this work, we study the recently introduced S-labeling problem, in which the nodes get labeled using labels from 1 to |V | and for…

Although neural networks have been applied to several systems in recent years, they still cannot be used in safety-critical systems due to the lack of efficient techniques to certify their robustness. A number of techniques based on convex…
Let $G = (V,E,w)$ be a weighted, digraph subject to a sequence of adversarial edge deletions. In the decremental single-source reachability problem (SSR), we are given a fixed source $s$ and the goal is to maintain a data structure that can…
