An uncertain graph $\mathcal{G} = (V, E, p : E \rightarrow (0,1])$ can be viewed as a probability space whose outcomes (referred to as \emph{possible worlds}) are subgraphs of $\mathcal{G}$ where any edge $e\in E$ occurs with probability…

Given a graph $G$ whose edges are perfectly reliable and whose nodes each operate independently with probability $p\in[0,1],$ the node reliability of $G$ is the probability that at least one node is operational and that the operational…

Node-connectivity augmentation is a fundamental network design problem. We are given a $k$-node connected graph $G$ together with an additional set of links, and the goal is to add a cheap subset of links to $G$ to make it $(k+1)$-node…
