A monitoring edge-geodetic set of a graph is a subset $M$ of its vertices such that for every edge $e$ in the graph, deleting $e$ increases the distance between at least one pair of vertices in $M$. We study the following computational…

Motivated by an application in kidney exchange, we study the following query-commit problem: we are given the set of vertices of a non-bipartite graph G. The set of edges in this graph are not known ahead of time. We can query any pair of…
For two correlated graphs which are independently sub-sampled from a common Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi graph $\mathbf{G}(n, p)$, we wish to recover their \emph{latent} vertex matching from the observation of these two graphs \emph{without labels}.…
In the $d$-Scattered Set problem we are asked to select at least $k$ vertices of a given graph, so that the distance between any pair is at least $d$. We study the problem's (in-)approximability and offer improvements and extensions of…
In graph sparsification, the goal has almost always been of {global} nature: compress a graph into a smaller subgraph ({sparsifier}) that maintains certain features of the original graph. Algorithms can then run on the sparsifier, which in…
Intersection graphs are well-studied in the area of graph algorithms. Some intersection graph classes are known to have algorithms enumerating all unlabeled graphs by reverse search. Since these algorithms output graphs one by one and the…
Edge-labeled graphs are widely used to describe relationships between entities in a database. Given a query subgraph that represents an example of what the user is searching for, we study the problem of efficiently searching for similar…
In this paper, we present a construction of a `matching sparsifier', that is, a sparse subgraph of the given graph that preserves large matchings approximately and is robust to modifications of the graph. We use this matching sparsifier to…

Graph sparsification is a powerful tool to approximate an arbitrary graph and has been used in machine learning over homogeneous graphs. In heterogeneous graphs such as knowledge graphs, however, sparsification has not been systematically…

The problem of sparsifying a graph or a hypergraph while approximately preserving its cut structure has been extensively studied and has many applications. In a seminal work, Bencz\'ur and Karger (1996) showed that given any $n$-vertex…
