The edge list model is arguably the simplest input model for graphs, where the graph is specified by a list of its edges. In this model, we study the quantum query complexity of three variants of the triangle finding problem. The first asks…
Learning properties of large graphs from samples has been an important problem in statistical network analysis since the early work of Goodman \cite{Goodman1949} and Frank \cite{Frank1978}. We revisit a problem formulated by Frank…
We consider the message complexity of verifying whether a given subgraph of the communication network forms a tree with specific properties both in the KT-$\rho$ (nodes know their $\rho$-hop neighborhood, including node IDs) and the KT-$0$…
We formulate weighted graph clustering as a prediction problem: given a subset of edge weights we analyze the ability of graph clustering to predict the remaining edge weights. This formulation enables practical and theoretical comparison…
Graphs are widely used for describing systems made up of many interacting components and for understanding the structure of their interactions. Various statistical models exist, which describe this structure as the result of a combination…
Random K-out graphs are used in several applications including modeling by sensor networks secured by the random pairwise key predistribution scheme, and payment channel networks. The random K-out graph with $n$ nodes is constructed as…

We consider the point-to-point message passing model of communication in which there are $k$ processors with individual private inputs, each $n$-bit long. Each processor is located at the node of an underlying undirected graph and has…

In their seminal paper from 2004, Kuhn, Moscibroda, and Wattenhofer (KMW) proved a hardness result for several fundamental graph problems in the LOCAL model: For any (randomized) algorithm, there are input graphs with $n$ nodes and maximum…
The shortest path problem in graphs is a cornerstone of AI theory and applications. Existing algorithms generally ignore edge weight computation time. We present a generalized framework for weighted directed graphs, where edge weight can be…
Quantum algorithms for graph problems are considered, both in the adjacency matrix model and in an adjacency list-like array model. We give almost tight lower and upper bounds for the bounded error quantum query complexity of Connectivity,…
We consider the problem of testing whether a Boolean function has Fourier degree $\leq k$ or it is $\epsilon$-far from any Boolean function with Fourier degree $\leq k$. We improve the known lower bound of $\Omega(k)$ \cite{BBM11,CGM10}, to…
Graph-theoretic tools and techniques have seen wide use in the multi-agent systems literature, and the unpredictable nature of some multi-agent communications has been successfully modeled using random communication graphs. Across both…
We present a new method to propagate lower bounds on conditional probability distributions in conventional Bayesian networks. Our method guarantees to provide outer approximations of the exact lower bounds. A key advantage is that we can…
In this paper, we provide a Graph Fourier Transform based approach to downsample signals on graphs. For bandlimited signals on a graph, a test is provided to identify whether signal reconstruction is possible from the given downsampled…
Boesch and Chen (SIAM J. Appl. Math., 1978) introduced the cut-version of the generalized edge-connectivity, named $k$-edge-connectivity. For any integer $k$ with $2\leq k\leq n$, the {\em $k$-edge-connectivity} of a graph $G$, denoted by…
A model of computation that is widely used in the formal analysis of reactive systems is symbolic algorithms. In this model the access to the input graph is restricted to consist of symbolic operations, which are expensive in comparison to…
