We study graph partitioning problems from a min-max perspective, in which an input graph on n vertices should be partitioned into k parts, and the objective is to minimize the maximum number of edges leaving a single part. The two main…
In this paper, we show that every $O(m)$-edge-connected simple graph $G$ of size divisible by $m$ with minimum degree at least $2^{O(m)}$ has an edge-decomposition into isomorphic copies of any given tree $T$ of size $m$. Moreover, the…
The paper proposes dynamic parallel algorithms for connectivity and bipartiteness of undirected graphs that require constant time and $O(n^{1/2+\epsilon})$ work on the CRCW PRAM model. The work of these algorithms almost matches the work of…
The $c$-packedness property, proposed in 2010, is a geometric property that captures the spatial distribution of a set of edges. Despite the recent interest in $c$-packedness, its utility has so far been limited to Fr\'echet distance…
In this paper, we consider the problem of designing cut sparsifiers and sketches for directed graphs. To bypass known lower bounds, we allow the sparsifier/sketch to depend on the balance of the input graph, which smoothly interpolates…
A graph $G=(V,E)$ is called $(k,\ell)$-full if $G$ contains a subgraph $H=(V,F)$ of $k|V|-\ell$ edges such that, for any non-empty $F' \subseteq F$, $|F'| \leq k|V(F')| - \ell$ holds. Here, $V(F')$ denotes the set of vertices incident to…
We develop a framework for graph sparsification and sketching, based on a new tool, short cycle decomposition -- a decomposition of an unweighted graph into an edge-disjoint collection of short cycles, plus few extra edges. A simple…
A graph G'(V,E') is an \eps-sparsification of G for some \eps>0, if every (weighted) cut in G' is within (1\pm \eps) of the corresponding cut in G. A celebrated result of Benczur and Karger shows that for every undirected graph G, an…
Let $G$ be a simple graph of order $n\geq 2$ and let $k\in \{1,\ldots ,n-1\}$. The $k$-token graph $F_k(G)$ of $G$ is the graph whose vertices are the $k$-subsets of $V(G)$, where two vertices are adjacent in $F_k(G)$ whenever their…
Let G be an input graph with n vertices and m edges and let k be a fixed parameter. We provide a single exponential FPT algorithm with running time O(c^kn(n+m)), c= min {18,k} that turns graph G into an interval graph by deleting at most k…
Graph sparsification is a technique that approximates a given graph by a sparse graph with a subset of vertices and/or edges. The goal of an effective sparsification algorithm is to maintain specific graph properties relevant to the…
A graph is said to be a Konig graph if the size of its maximum matching is equal to the size of its minimum vertex cover. The Konig Edge Deletion problem asks if in a given graph there exists a set of at most k edges whose deletion results…
Spectral sparsification is a technique that is used to reduce the number of non-zero entries in a positive semidefinite matrix with little changes to its spectrum. In particular, the main application of spectral sparsification is to…
Boesch and Chen (SIAM J. Appl. Math., 1978) introduced the cut-version of the generalized edge-connectivity, named $k$-edge-connectivity. For any integer $k$ with $2\leq k\leq n$, the {\em $k$-edge-connectivity} of a graph $G$, denoted by…
We present a deterministic near-linear time algorithm that computes the edge-connectivity and finds a minimum cut for a simple undirected unweighted graph G with n vertices and m edges. This is the first o(mn) time deterministic algorithm…
In this paper, we consider the problem of clustering graph nodes and sparsifying graph edges over distributed graphs, when graph edges with possibly edge duplicates are observed at physically remote sites. Although edge duplicates across…
We initiate the study on fault-tolerant spanners in hypergraphs and develop fast algorithms for their constructions. A fault-tolerant (FT) spanner preserves approximate distances under network failures, often used in applications like…
We study the \emph{multiterminal cut} problem, which, given an $n$-vertex graph whose edges are integer-weighted and a set of terminals, asks for a partition of the vertex set such that each terminal is in a distinct part, and the total…
We consider the following two variants of the Capacitated $k$-Edge Connected Subgraph} (Cap-k-ECS) problem. Near Min-Cuts Cover: Given a graph $G=(V,E)$ with edge costs and $E_0 \subseteq E$, find a min-cost edge set $J \subseteq E…
A new efficient algorithm is presented for finding all simple cycles that satisfy a length constraint in a directed graph. When the number of vertices is non-trivial, most cycle-finding problems are of practical interest for sparse graphs…
