Motivated by applications to graph morphing, we consider the following \emph{compatible connectivity-augmentation problem}: We are given a labelled $n$-vertex planar graph, $\mathcal{G}$, that has $r\ge 2$ connected components, and $k\ge 2$…
A reachability preserver is a basic kind of graph sparsifier, which preserves the reachability relation of an $n$-node directed input graph $G$ among a set of given demand pairs $P$ of size $|P|=p$. We give constructions of sparse…
The maximum genus $\gamma_M(G)$ of a graph G is the largest genus of an orientable surface into which G has a cellular embedding. Combinatorially, it coincides with the maximum number of disjoint pairs of adjacent edges of G whose removal…
Analyzing massive data sets has been one of the key motivations for studying streaming algorithms. In recent years, there has been significant progress in analysing distributions in a streaming setting, but the progress on graph problems…
Minimum-weight cut (min-cut) is a basic measure of a network's connectivity strength. While the min-cut can be computed efficiently in the sequential setting [Karger STOC'96], there was no efficient way for a distributed network to compute…
Due to the increasing discovery and implementation of networks within all disciplines of life, the study of subgraph connectivity has become increasingly important. Motivated by the idea of community (or sub-graph) detection within a…
We consider a the minimum k-way cut problem for unweighted graphs with a size bound s on the number of cut edges allowed. Thus we seek to remove as few edges as possible so as to split a graph into k components, or report that this requires…
Graphs and network data are ubiquitous across a wide spectrum of scientific and application domains. Often in practice, an input graph can be considered as an observed snapshot of a (potentially continuous) hidden domain or process.…
Networks are widely used to model real-world systems and uncover their topological features. Network properties such as the degree distribution and shortest path length have been computed in numerous real-world networks, and most of them…
A k-tree is either a complete graph on (k+1) vertices or given a k-tree G' with n vertices, a k-tree G with (n+1) vertices can be constructed by introducing a new vertex v and picking a k-clique Q in G' and then joining each vertex u in Q.…
We develop efficient parameterized, with additive error, approximation algorithms for the (Connected) $r$-Domination problem and the (Connected) $p$-Center problem for unweighted and undirected graphs. Given a graph $G$, we show how to…
The parameterized complexity of counting minimum cuts stands as a natural question because Ball and Provan showed its #P-completeness. For any undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ and two disjoint sets of its vertices $S,T$, we design a…
In this paper, we present new incremental algorithms for maintaining data structures that represent all connectivity cuts of size one in directed graphs (digraphs), and the strongly connected components that result by the removal of each of…
With graphs considered as natural models for many network design problems, edge connectivity $\kappa'(G)$ and maximum number of edge-disjoint spanning trees $\tau(G)$ of a graph $G$ have been used as measures for reliability and strength in…
A vertex set $U \subseteq V$ of an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ is a $\textit{resolving set}$ for $G$, if for every two distinct vertices $u,v \in V$ there is a vertex $w \in U$ such that the distances between $u$ and $w$ and the distance…
We study spreading processes in temporal graphs, i. e., graphs whose connections change over time. These processes naturally model real-world phenomena such as infectious diseases or information flows. More precisely, we investigate how…
In this paper we address the problem of computing a sparse subgraph of a weighted directed graph such that the exact distances from a designated source vertex to all other vertices are preserved under bounded weight increment. Finding a…
In this article, we show that the algorithm of maintaining expander decompositions in graphs undergoing edge deletions directly by removing sparse cuts repeatedly can be made efficient. Formally, for an $m$-edge undirected graph $G$, we say…
In this note we prove that minimal networks enjoy minimizing properties for the length functional. A minimal network is, roughly speaking, a subset of $\mathbb{R}^2$ composed of straight segments joining at triple junctions forming angles…
In a large-scale network, we want to choose some influential nodes to make a profit by paying some cost within a limited budget so that we do not have to spend more budget on some nodes adjacent to the chosen nodes; our problem is the…
