Given parameters $\alpha\geq 1,\beta\geq 0$, a subgraph $G'=(V,H)$ of an $n$-vertex unweighted undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ is called an $(\alpha,\beta)$-spanner if for every pair $u,v\in V$ of vertices, $d_{G'}(u,v)\leq \alpha…

Graph spanners are fundamental graph structures with a wide range of applications in distributed networks. We consider a standard synchronous message passing model where in each round $O(\log n)$ bits can be transmitted over every edge (the…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be an undirected graph on $n$ vertices and $\lambda:E\to 2^{\mathbb{N}}$ a mapping that assigns to every edge a non-empty set of integer labels (times). Such a graph is {\em temporally connected} if a path exists with…

The \emph{eccentricity} of a vertex $u$ in a graph $G$, denoted by $e_G(u)$, is the maximum distance from $u$ to other vertices in $G$. We study extremal problems for the average eccentricity and the first and second Zagreb eccentricity…

Hub labeling schemes are popular methods for computing distances on road networks and other large complex networks, often answering to a query within a few microseconds for graphs with millions of edges. In this work, we study their…

Let $G = (V,E,w)$ be a weighted undirected graph on $|V| = n$ vertices and $|E| = m$ edges, let $k \ge 1$ be any integer, and let $\epsilon < 1$ be any parameter. We present the following results on fast constructions of spanners with…

Let $G$ be a connected graph. The average distance of a vertex $v$ of $G$ is the arithmetic mean of the distances from $v$ to all other vertices of $G$. The proximity and remoteness of $G$ are defined as the minimum and maximum,…

A sparsifier of a graph $G$ (Bencz\'ur and Karger; Spielman and Teng) is a sparse weighted subgraph $\tilde G$ that approximately retains the cut structure of $G$. For general graphs, non-trivial sparsification is possible only by using…

All parallel algorithms for directed reachability and shortest paths crucially rely on efficient shortcut constructions. These constructions find directed paths and shortcut them by adding edges, with the goal to reduce the diameter of the…

We show that for any fixed integer $k \geq 0$, there exists an algorithm that computes the diameter and the eccentricies of all vertices of an input unweighted, undirected $n$-vertex graph of Euler genus at most $k$ in time \[…

A spectral sparsifier of a graph $G$ is a sparser graph $H$ that approximately preserves the quadratic form of $G$, i.e. for all vectors $x$, $x^T L_G x \approx x^T L_H x$, where $L_G$ and $L_H$ denote the respective graph Laplacians.…

A geometric $t$-spanner for a set $S$ of $n$ point sites is an edge-weighted graph for which the (weighted) distance between any two sites $p,q \in S$ is at most $t$ times the original distance between $p$ and~$q$. We study geometric…

The \emph{distance-number} of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of distinct edge-lengths over all straight-line drawings of $G$ in the plane. This definition generalises many well-known concepts in combinatorial geometry. We consider the…

An $(\alpha,\beta)$-spanner of a weighted graph $G=(V,E)$, is a subgraph $H$ such that for every $u,v\in V$, $d_G(u,v) \le d_H(u,v)\le\alpha\cdot d_G(u,v)+\beta$. The main parameters of interest for spanners are their size (number of edges)…

The bloom of complex network study, in particular, with respect to scale-free ones, is considerably triggering the research of scale-free graph itself. Therefore, a great number of interesting results have been reported in the past,…
