In this work we provide a new technique to design fast approximation algorithms for graph problems where the points of the graph lie in a metric space. Specifically, we present a sampling approach for such metric graphs that, using a…
We consider the problem of sampling from data defined on the nodes of a weighted graph, where the edge weights capture the data correlation structure. As shown recently, using spectral graph theory one can define a cut-off frequency for the…
Graph burning is a discrete-time process that models the propagation of information in a network. Initially, we have an undirected graph of unburned vertices. At each time step, an unburned vertex is chosen to burn; additionally, unburned…
In this paper we show that the problem of identifying an edge $(i,j)$ in a graph $G$ such that there exists an optimal vertex cover $S$ of $G$ containing exactly one of the nodes $i$ and $j$ is NP-hard. Such an edge is called a weak edge.…
In the classical facility location problem we consider a graph $G$ with fixed weights on the edges of $G$. The goal is then to find an optimal positioning for a set of facilities on the graph with respect to some objective function. We…
We consider the {\em stochastic matching} problem. An edge-weighted general (i.e., not necessarily bipartite) graph $G(V, E)$ is given in the input, where each edge in $E$ is {\em realized} independently with probability $p$; the…
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 $p$.…
Graph embedding is a transformation of nodes of a graph into a set of vectors. A~good embedding should capture the graph topology, node-to-node relationship, and other relevant information about the graph, its subgraphs, and nodes. If these…
The splitting number of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is the minimum number of vertex splits required to turn $G$ into a planar graph, where a vertex split removes a vertex $v \in V$, introduces two new vertices $v_1, v_2$, and distributes the edges…
In a graph, we assign distinct integers to the vertices, and take the sum of two integers if they are on two adjacent vertices. The minimum possible number of different sums is the \emph{sum index} of this graph. In this paper, we present…
For a set $S$ of vertices of a graph $G$, we define its density $0 \leq \sigma(S) \leq 1$ as the ratio of the number of edges of $G$ spanned by the vertices of $S$ to ${|S| \choose 2}$. We show that, given a graph $G$ with $n$ vertices and…
Given a weighted bipartite graph $G = (L, R, E, w)$, the maximum weight matching (MWM) problem seeks to find a matching $M \subseteq E$ that maximizes the total weight $\sum_{e \in M} w(e)$. This paper presents a novel algorithm with a time…
A dominating induced matching, also called an efficient edge domination, of a graph $G=(V,E)$ with $n=|V|$ vertices and $m=|E|$ edges is a subset $F \subseteq E$ of edges in the graph such that no two edges in $F$ share a common endpoint…
The complexity of a reasoning task over a graphical model is tied to the induced width of the underlying graph. It is well-known that the conditioning (assigning values) on a subset of variables yields a subproblem of the reduced complexity…
Topological metrics of graphs provide a natural way to describe the prominent features of various types of networks. Graph metrics describe the structure and interplay of graph edges and have found applications in many scientific fields. In…
We consider the problem of covering a graph with a given number of induced subgraphs so that the maximum number of vertices in each subgraph is minimized. We prove NP-completeness of the problem, prove lower bounds, and give approximation…
Given a graph $G$, a proper $k$-coloring of $G$ is a partition $c = (S_i)_{i\in [1,k]}$ of $V(G)$ into $k$ stable sets $S_1,\ldots, S_{k}$. Given a weight function $w: V(G) \to \mathbb{R}^+$, the weight of a color $S_i$ is defined as $w(i)…

Consider a graph $G = (V, E)$ and a function $f: V \rightarrow \{0, 1, 2\}$. A vertex $u$ with $f(u)=0$ is defined as \emph{undefended} by $f$ if it lacks adjacency to any vertex with a positive $f$-value. The function $f$ is said to be a…
We consider the problem of estimating the weight of a maximum weighted matching of a weighted graph $G(V,E)$ whose edges are revealed in a streaming fashion. We develop a reduction from the maximum weighted matching problem to the maximum…
