For any given $\epsilon>0$ we provide an algorithm for the Densest $k$-Subhypergraph Problem with an approximation ratio of at most $O(n^{\theta_m+2\epsilon})$ for $\theta_m=\frac{1}{2}m-\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{2m}$ and run time at most…
Finding the largest clique is a notoriously hard problem, even on random graphs. It is known that the clique number of a random graph G(n,1/2) is almost surely either k or k+1, where k = 2log n - 2log(log n) - 1. However, a simple greedy…
In this paper, we study the $k$-center problem of uncertain points on a graph. Given are an undirected graph $G = (V, E)$ and a set $\mathcal{P}$ of $n$ uncertain points where each uncertain point with a non-negative weight has $m$ possible…
The "Subset Sum problem" is a very well-known NP-complete problem. In this work, a top-k variation of the "Subset Sum problem" is considered. This problem has wide application in recommendation systems, where instead of k best objects the k…
In this paper, we propose a method, based on graph signal processing, to optimize the choice of $k$ in $k$-nearest neighbor graphs ($k$NNGs). $k$NN is one of the most popular approaches and is widely used in machine learning and signal…
In this paper, we focus on the class of complete $S$-partite graphs, for $S$ an undirected graph possibly with self-loops, and address the problem of finding largest $2$-regular subgraphs of these graphs, which can be formulated as an…
Subgraph isomorphism is a well-known NP-hard problem which is widely used in many applications, such as social network analysis and knowledge graph query. Its performance is often limited by the inherent hardness. Several insightful works…
We consider the problem of embedding the nodes of a hypergraph into Euclidean space under the assumption that the interactions arose through closeness to unknown hyperedge centres. In this way, we tackle the inverse problem associated with…
With an exponentially growing number of graphs from disparate repositories, there is a strong need to analyze a graph database containing an extensive collection of small- or medium-sized data graphs (e.g., chemical compounds). Although…
We study the problem of covering the maximum number of vertices in a graph by a collection of vertex-disjoint stars, each with a number of satellites in a given interval $[k, \ell]$, where $1 \le k < \ell$ and $\ell$ can be infinity. This…
We consider two problems for a directed graph $G$, which we show to be closely related. The first one is to find $k$ edge-disjoint forests in $G$ of maximal size such that the indegree of each vertex in these forests is at most $k$. We…
Maintaining a $k$-core decomposition quickly in a dynamic graph has important applications in network analysis. The main challenge for designing efficient exact algorithms is that a single update to the graph can cause significant global…
The Maximum Balanced Subgraph Problem (MBSP) is the problem of finding a subgraph of a signed graph that is balanced and maximizes the cardinality of its vertex set. We are interested in the exact solution of the problem: an improved…
Given a simple undirected graph $G$, the maximum $k$-club problem is to find a maximum-cardinality subset of nodes inducing a subgraph of diameter at most $k$ in $G$. This NP-hard generalization of clique, originally introduced to model low…
A dominating set $D$ of a graph $G$ is a set of vertices such that any vertex in $G$ is in $D$ or its neighbor is in $D$. Enumeration of minimal dominating sets in a graph is one of central problems in enumeration study since enumeration of…
In the Coloured Clustering problem, we wish to colour vertices of an edge coloured graph to produce as many stable edges as possible, i.e., edges with the same colour as their ends. In this paper, we reveal that the problem is in fact a…
We establish almost tight upper and lower approximation bounds for the Vertex Cover problem on dense k-partite hypergraphs.
Network analysis has played a key role in knowledge discovery and data mining. In many real-world applications in recent years, we are interested in mining multilayer networks, where we have a number of edge sets called layers, which encode…
We determine the asymptotic behavior of the maximum subgraph density of large random graphs with a prescribed degree sequence. The result applies in particular to the Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi model, where it settles a conjecture of Hajek [IEEE…
