Key graph-based problems play a central role in understanding network topology and uncovering patterns of similarity in homogeneous and temporal data. Such patterns can be revealed by analyzing communities formed by nodes, which in turn can…
(see paper for full abstract) Given a vertex-weighted directed graph $G=(V,E)$ and a set $T=\{t_1, t_2, \ldots t_k\}$ of $k$ terminals, the objective of the SCSS problem is to find a vertex set $H\subseteq V$ of minimum weight such that…
The fundamental sparsest cut problem takes as input a graph $G$ together with the edge costs and demands, and seeks a cut that minimizes the ratio between the costs and demands across the cuts. For $n$-node graphs~$G$ of treewidth~$k$,…
The problem of finding the degeneracy of a graph is a subproblem of the k-core decomposition problem. In this paper, we present a (1 + epsilon)-approximate solution to the degeneracy problem which runs in O(n log n) time, sublinear in the…
A partition $(C_1,C_2,...,C_q)$ of $G = (V,E)$ into clusters of strong (respectively, weak) diameter $d$, such that the supergraph obtained by contracting each $C_i$ is $\ell$-colorable is called a strong (resp., weak) $(d,…
Mutually connected components (MCCs) play an important role as a measure of resilience in the study of interdependent networks. Despite their importance, an efficient algorithm to obtain the statistics of all MCCs during the removal of…
Given a directed graph $G$, a transitive reduction $G^t$ of $G$ (first studied by Aho, Garey, Ullman [SICOMP `72]) is a minimal subgraph of $G$ that preserves the reachability relation between every two vertices in $G$. In this paper, we…
The basic goal of survivable network design is to construct low-cost networks which preserve a sufficient level of connectivity despite the failure or removal of a few nodes or edges. One of the most basic problems in this area is the…
Given an $n$-vertex $m$-edge digraph $G = (V,E)$ and a subset $S \subseteq V$ of $|S| = n^{\sigma}$ (for some $0 \le \sigma \le 1$) designated sources, the $S \times V$ reachability problem is to compute the sets $\mathcal V_s$ of vertices…
A fundamental question that shrouds the emergence of massively parallel computing (MPC) platforms is how can the additional power of the MPC paradigm be leveraged to achieve faster algorithms compared to classical parallel models such as…
In 1996, Karger [Kar96] gave a startling randomized algorithm that finds a minimum-cut in a (weighted) graph in time $O(m\log^3n)$ which he termed near-linear time meaning linear (in the size of the input) times a polylogarthmic factor. In…
Subexponential parameterized algorithms are known for a wide range of natural problems on planar graphs, but the techniques are usually highly problem specific. The goal of this paper is to introduce a framework for obtaining…
We address the following general question: given a graph class C on which we can solve Maximum Matching in (quasi) linear time, does the same hold true for the class of graphs that can be modularly decomposed into C ? A major difficulty in…
We establish the first update-time separation between dynamic algorithms against oblivious adversaries and those against adaptive adversaries in natural dynamic graph problems, based on popular fine-grained complexity hypotheses.…

One of the simplest problems on directed graphs is that of identifying the set of vertices reachable from a designated source vertex. This problem can be solved easily sequentially by performing a graph search, but efficient parallel…
Given a directed graph $G = (V,E)$, undergoing an online sequence of edge deletions with $m$ edges in the initial version of $G$ and $n = |V|$, we consider the problem of maintaining all-pairs shortest paths (APSP) in $G$. Whilst this…
Designing dynamic graph algorithms against an adaptive adversary is a major goal in the field of dynamic graph algorithms. While a few such algorithms are known for spanning trees, matchings, and single-source shortest paths, very little…
In the $k$-edge-connected spanning subgraph ($k$ECSS) problem, our goal is to compute a minimum-cost sub-network that is resilient against up to $k$ link failures: Given an $n$-node $m$-edge graph with a cost function on the edges, our goal…
We study the approximability of two related problems on graphs with $n$ nodes and $m$ edges: $n$-Pairs Shortest Paths ($n$-PSP), where the goal is to find a shortest path between $O(n)$ prespecified pairs, and All Node Shortest Cycles…
