An edge-colored graph is said to be balanced if it has an equal number of edges of each color. Given a graph $G$ whose edges are colored using two colors and a positive integer $k$, the objective in the Edge Balanced Connected Subgraph…
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…
The minimum degree spanning tree (MDST) problem requires the construction of a spanning tree $T$ for graph $G=(V,E)$ with $n$ vertices, such that the maximum degree $d$ of $T$ is the smallest among all spanning trees of $G$. In this paper,…
It is $\mathsf{NP}$-hard to determine the minimum number of branching vertices needed in a single-source distance-preserving subgraph of an undirected graph. We show that this problem can be solved in polynomial time if the input graph is…
In the k-edge connected directed Steiner tree (k-DST) problem, we are given a directed graph G on n vertices with edge-costs, a root vertex r, a set of h terminals T and an integer k. The goal is to find a min-cost subgraph H of G that…
The semi-streaming model is a variant of the streaming model frequently used for the computation of graph problems. It allows the edges of an $n$-node input graph to be read sequentially in $p$ passes using $\tilde{O}(n)$ space. In this…
We study connectivity problems from a fine-grained parameterized perspective. Cygan et al. (TALG 2022) obtained algorithms with single-exponential running time $\alpha^{tw} n^{O(1)}$ for connectivity problems parameterized by treewidth…
The concept of pedant tree-connectivity was introduced by Hager in 1985. For a graph $G=(V,E)$ and a set $S\subseteq V(G)$ of at least two vertices, \emph{an $S$-Steiner tree} or \emph{a Steiner tree connecting $S$} (or simply, \emph{an…
We give the first almost-linear time algorithm for computing the \emph{maximal $k$-edge-connected subgraphs} of an undirected unweighted graph for any constant $k$. More specifically, given an $n$-vertex $m$-edge graph $G=(V,E)$ and a…
A $t$-{\em spanner} $H$ of a weighted graph $G=(V,E,w)$ is a subgraph that approximates all pairwise distances up to a factor of $t$. The {\em lightness} of $H$ is defined as the ratio between the weight of $H$ to that of the minimum…
The reassembling of a simple connected graph G = (V,E) is an abstraction of a problem arising in earlier studies of network analysis. The reassembling process has a simple formulation (there are several equivalent formulations) relative to…
A tree $\sigma$-spanner of a positively real-weighted $n$-vertex and $m$-edge undirected graph $G$ is a spanning tree $T$ of $G$ which approximately preserves (i.e., up to a multiplicative stretch factor $\sigma$) distances in $G$. Tree…
In this paper, we introduce and study the multilevel-planarity testing problem, which is a generalization of upward planarity and level planarity. Let $G = (V, E)$ be a directed graph and let $\ell: V \to \mathcal P(\mathbb Z)$ be a…
In this paper, we study the distributed sketching complexity of connectivity. In distributed graph sketching, an $n$-node graph $G$ is distributed to $n$ players such that each player sees the neighborhood of one vertex. The players then…
Computing \emph{all best swap edges} (ABSE) of a spanning tree $T$ of a given $n$-vertex and $m$-edge undirected and weighted graph $G$ means to select, for each edge $e$ of $T$, a corresponding non-tree edge $f$, in such a way that the…
We consider the \textsc{Edge Multiway Cut} problem on planar graphs. It is known that this can be solved in $n^{O(\sqrt{t})}$ time [Klein, Marx, ICALP 2012] and not in $n^{o(\sqrt{t})}$ time under the Exponential Time Hypothesis [Marx,…
The Spanning Tree Congestion (STC) problem is the following NP-hard problem: given a graph $G$, construct a spanning tree $T$ of $G$ minimizing its maximum edge congestion where the congestion of an edge $e\in T$ is the number of edges $uv$…
While multilinear algebra appears natural for studying the multiway interactions modeled by hypergraphs, tensor methods for general hypergraphs have been stymied by theoretical and practical barriers. A recently proposed adjacency tensor is…
The run time complexity of state-of-the-art inference algorithms in graph-based dependency parsing is super-linear in the number of input words (n). Recently, pruning algorithms for these models have shown to cut a large portion of the…
We study a natural problem in graph sparsification, the Spanning Tree Congestion (\STC) problem. Informally, the \STC problem seeks a spanning tree with no tree-edge \emph{routing} too many of the original edges. The root of this problem…
