In directed random graphs, in which edges can be assigned to have one of two directions, or perhaps both, the distance between two vertices $v$ and $v'$ can be computed along paths that are directed from $v$ to $v'$, or along paths that are…

The present work describes the asymptotic local shape of a graph drawn uniformly at random from all connected simple planar graphs with n labelled vertices. We establish a novel uniform infinite planar graph (UIPG) as quenched limit in the…
Suppose that we are given an arbitrary graph $G=(V, E)$ and know that each edge in $E$ is going to be realized independently with some probability $p$. The goal in the stochastic matching problem is to pick a sparse subgraph $Q$ of $G$ such…
We study the replacement paths problem in the $\mathsf{CONGEST}$ model of distributed computing. Given an $s$-$t$ shortest path $P$, the goal is to compute, for every edge $e$ in $P$, the shortest-path distance from $s$ to $t$ avoiding $e$.…
In Constrained Correlation Clustering, the goal is to cluster a complete signed graph in a way that minimizes the number of negative edges inside clusters plus the number of positive edges between clusters, while respecting hard constraints…
The problem of network-constrained averaging is to compute the average of a set of values distributed throughout a graph G using an algorithm that can pass messages only along graph edges. We study this problem in the noisy setting, in…

We show how to compute a 20-approximation of a minimum dominating set in a planar graph in a constant number of rounds in the LOCAL model of distributed computing. This improves on the previously best known approximation factor of 52, which…
We investigate online algorithms for maximum (weight) independent set on graph classes with bounded inductive independence number like, e.g., interval and disk graphs with applications to, e.g., task scheduling and spectrum allocation. In…
We introduce the Graph TT (GTT) and Graph OSPA (GOSPA) metrics based on optimal assignment, which allow us to compare not only the edge structures but also general vertex and edge attributes of graphs of possibly different sizes. We argue…
We consider the following stochastic matching problem on both weighted and unweighted graphs: A graph $G(V, E)$ along with a parameter $p \in (0, 1)$ is given in the input. Each edge of $G$ is realized independently with probability $p$.…
We study the complexity of local graph centrality estimation, with the goal of approximating the centrality score of a given target node while exploring only a sublinear number of nodes/arcs of the graph and performing a sublinear number of…
For any $\epsilon > 0$, we show that if $G$ is a regular graph on $n \gg_\epsilon 1$ vertices that is $\epsilon$-far (differs by at least $\epsilon n^2$ edges) from any Tur\'{a}n graph, then its second eigenvalue $\lambda_2$ satisfies…
Semi-random processes involve an adaptive decision-maker, whose goal is to achieve some predetermined objective in an online randomized environment. They have algorithmic implications in various areas of computer science, as well as…
We present a new fast all-pairs shortest path algorithm for unweighted graphs. In breadth-first search which is said to representative and fast in unweighted graphs, the average number of accesses to adjacent vertices (expressed by…
The local minimum degree of a graph is the minimum degree that can be reached by means of local complementation. For any n, there exist graphs of order n which have a local minimum degree at least 0.189n, or at least 0.110n when restricted…
We adapt a recent algorithm by Ghaffari [SODA'16] for computing a Maximal Independent Set in the LOCAL model, so that it works in the significantly weaker BEEP model. For networks with maximum degree $\Delta$, our algorithm terminates…
We analyze site percolation on directed and undirected graphs with site-dependent open-site probabilities. We construct upper bounds on cluster susceptibilities, vertex connectivity functions, and the expected number of simple open cycles…
Diameter, radius and eccentricities are fundamental graph parameters, which are extensively studied in various computational settings. Typically, computing approximate answers can be much more efficient compared with computing exact…
