Computing fixed-radius near-neighbor graphs is an important first step for many data analysis algorithms. Near-neighbor graphs connect points that are close under some metric, endowing point clouds with a combinatorial structure. As…
Spanners have been shown to be a powerful tool in graph algorithms. Many spanner constructions use a certain type of clustering at their core, where each cluster has small diameter and there are relatively few spanner edges between…
In the distributed setting, the only existing constructions of \textit{sparse skeletons}, (i.e., subgraphs with $O(n)$ edges) either use randomization or large messages, or require $\Omega(D)$ time, where $D$ is the hop-diameter of the…
Maintaining a $k$-core decomposition quickly in a dynamic graph has important applications in network analysis. The main challenge for designing efficient exact algorithms is that a single update to the graph can cause significant global…
