A conflict graph represents logical relations between binary variables, and effective use of the graph can significantly accelerate branch-and-cut solvers for mixed-integer programming (MIP). In this paper we develop efficient parallel…
We present a parallel k-clique listing algorithm with improved work bounds (for the same depth) in sparse graphs with low degeneracy or arboricity. We achieve this by introducing and analyzing a new pruning criterion for a backtracking…
Graph problems are troublesome when it comes to MapReduce. Typically, to be able to design algorithms that make use of the advantages of MapReduce, assumptions beyond what the model imposes, such as the density of the input graph, are…
Exploiting sparsity in Semidefinite Programs (SDP) is critical to solving large-scale problems. The chordal completion based maximal clique decomposition is the preferred approach for exploiting sparsity in SDPs. In this paper, we show that…
In the {\sc Cluster Deletion} problem the goal is to remove the minimum number of edges of a given graph, such that every connected component of the resulting graph constitutes a clique. It is known that the decision version of {\sc Cluster…

This paper studies the nucleus decomposition problem, which has been shown to be useful in finding dense substructures in graphs. We present a novel parallel algorithm that is efficient both in theory and in practice. Our algorithm achieves…
While algebrisation constitutes a powerful technique in the design and analysis of centralised algorithms, to date there have been hardly any applications of algebraic techniques in the context of distributed graph algorithms. This work is…
The edge clique cover (ECC) problem -- where the goal is to find a minimum cardinality set of cliques that cover all the edges of a graph -- is a classic NP-hard problem that has received much attention from both the theoretical and…
In this paper, we consider tree decompositions, branch decompositions, and clique decompositions. We improve the running time of dynamic programming algorithms on these graph decompositions for a large number of problems as a function of…

The Edge Interdiction Clique Problem (EICP) aims to remove at most $k$ edges from a graph so as to minimize the size of the largest clique in the remaining graph. This problem captures a fundamental question in graph manipulation: which…
The Cluster Deletion problem takes a graph $G$ as input and asks for a minimum size set of edges $X$ such that $G-X$ is the disjoint union of complete graphs. An equivalent formulation is the Clique Partition problem, which asks to find a…
