Finding patterns in graphs is a fundamental problem in databases and data mining. In many applications, graphs are temporal and evolve over time, so we are interested in finding durable patterns, such as triangles and paths, which persist…
In this paper we describe an algorithm which generates all colored planar maps with a good minimum sparsity from simple motifs and rules to connect them. An implementation of this algorithm is available and is used by chemists who want to…

In the Equal Maximum Flow Problem (EMFP), we aim for a maximum flow where we require the same flow value on all edges in some given subsets of the edge set. In this paper, we study the closely related Almost Equal Maximum Flow Problems…

It is well-known that the Ford-Fulkerson algorithm for finding a maximum flow in a network need not terminate if we allow the arc capacities to take irrational values. Every non-terminating example converges to a limit flow, but this limit…
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…
It is well-known that every $n$-vertex planar graph with minimum degree 3 has a matching of size at least $\frac{n}{3}$. But all proofs of this use the Tutte-Berge-formula for the size of a maximum matching. Hence these proofs are not…
We resolve the space complexity of linear sketches for approximating the maximum matching problem in dynamic graph streams where the stream may include both edge insertion and deletion. Specifically, we show that for any $\epsilon > 0$,…
