Differential Privacy is the gold standard in privacy-preserving data analysis. This paper addresses the challenge of producing a differentially edge-private vertex coloring. In this paper, we present two novel algorithms to approach this…

For every fixed integer $k \geq 1$, we prove that $k$-Edge Colouring is fixed-parameter-tractable when parameterized by the number of vertices of maximum degree.

Given $D$ and $\gamma>0$, whenever $c>0$ is sufficiently small and $n$ sufficiently large, if $\mathcal{G}$ is a family of $D$-degenerate graphs of individual orders at most $n$, maximum degrees at most $\tfrac{cn}{\log n}$, and total…

We introduce an algorithm that constructs a random uniform graph with prescribed degree sequence together with a depth first exploration of it. In the so-called supercritical regime where the graph contains a giant component, we prove that…

Directed networks are conveniently represented as graphs in which ordered edges encode interactions between vertices. Despite their wide availability, there is a shortage of statistical models amenable for inference, specially when…

Given $k$ input graphs $G_1, \dots ,G_k$, where each pair $G_i$, $G_j$ with $i \neq j$ shares the same graph $G$, the problem Simultaneous Embedding With Fixed Edges (SEFE) asks whether there exists a planar drawing for each input graph…

Given a graph $G$ and a natural number $k$, the $k$-recolouring graph $\mathcal{C}_k(G)$ is the graph whose vertices are the $k$-colourings of $G$ and whose edges link pairs of colourings which differ at exactly one vertex of $G$. Recently,…

Given a graph $G$ with source and destination vertices $s,t\in V(G)$ respectively, \textsc{Tracking Paths} asks for a minimum set of vertices $T\subseteq V(G)$, such that the sequence of vertices encountered in each simple path from $s$ to…

Many modern data analysis algorithms either assume or are considerably more efficient if the distances between the data points satisfy a metric. These algorithms include metric learning, clustering, and dimension reduction. As real data…

For a fixed graph H, the function #IndSub(H,*) maps graphs G to the count of induced H-copies in G; this function obviously "counts something" in that it has a combinatorial interpretation. Linear combinations of such functions are called…

Nesetril and Ossona de Mendez introduced the notion of first order convergence as an attempt to unify the notions of convergence for sparse and dense graphs. It is known that there exist first order convergent sequences of graphs with no…

The parameterized analysis of graph modification problems represents the most extensively studied area within Parameterized Complexity. Given a graph $G$ and an integer $k\in\mathbb{N}$ as input, the goal is to determine whether we can…

We study the design of fixed-parameter algorithms for problems already known to be solvable in polynomial time. The main motivation is to get more efficient algorithms for problems with unattractive polynomial running times. Here, we focus…

A $K_r$-factor of a graph $G$ is a collection of vertex-disjoint $r$-cliques covering $V(G)$. We prove the following algorithmic version of the classical Hajnal--Szemer\'edi Theorem in graph theory, when $r$ is considered as a constant.…

An edge-weighted graph $G=(V,E)$ is called stable if the value of a maximum-weight matching equals the value of a maximum-weight fractional matching. Stable graphs play an important role in some interesting game theory problems, such as…

The first step for any graph signal processing (GSP) procedure is to learn the graph signal representation, i.e., to capture the dependence structure of the data into an adjacency matrix. Indeed, the adjacency matrix is typically not known…

One of the common obstacles for learning causal models from data is that high-order conditional independence (CI) relationships between random variables are difficult to estimate. Since CI tests with conditioning sets of low order can be…

We consider Hoare-style verification for the graph programming language GP 2. In previous work, graph properties were specified by so-called E-conditions which extend nested graph conditions. However, this type of assertions is not easy to…
