The orthogonality dimension of a graph over $\mathbb{R}$ is the smallest integer $d$ for which one can assign to every vertex a nonzero vector in $\mathbb{R}^d$ such that every two adjacent vertices receive orthogonal vectors. For an…
The metric sketching problem is defined as follows. Given a metric on $n$ points, and $\epsilon>0$, we wish to produce a small size data structure (sketch) that, given any pair of point indices, recovers the distance between the points up…
The Erd\H{o}s-Hajnal conjecture is one of the most classical and well-known problems in extremal and structural combinatorics dating back to 1977. It asserts that in stark contrast to the case of a general $n$-vertex graph if one imposes…
We announce two breakthrough results concerning important questions in the Theory of Computational Complexity. In this expository paper, a systematic and comprehensive geometric characterization of the Subset Sum Problem is presented. We…
We associate all small subgraph counting problems with a systematic graph encoding/representation system which makes a coherent use of graphlet structures. The system can serve as a unified foundation for studying and connecting many…
The Small Set Expansion Hypothesis (SSEH) is a conjecture which roughly states that it is NP-hard to distinguish between a graph with a small subset of vertices whose edge expansion is almost zero and one in which all small subsets of…
One of the most important and well-studied settings for network design is edge-connectivity requirements. This encompasses uniform demands such as the Minimum $k$-Edge-Connected Spanning Subgraph problem ($k$-ECSS), as well as nonuniform…
More than $30$ years ago, \v{S}olt\'es observed that the total distance of the graph $C_{11}$ does not change by deleting a vertex, and wondered about the existence of other such graphs, called \v{S}olt\'es graphs. We extend the definition…
Given a metric space $\mathcal{M}=(X,\delta)$, a weighted graph $G$ over $X$ is a metric $t$-spanner of $\mathcal{M}$ if for every $u,v \in X$, $\delta(u,v)\le d_G(u,v)\le t\cdot \delta(u,v)$, where $d_G$ is the shortest path metric in $G$.…
Hadwiger's conjecture, among the most famous open problems in graph theory, states that every graph that does not contain $K_t$ as a minor is properly $(t-1)$-colorable. The purpose of this work is to demonstrate that a natural extension of…
The metric dimension of a graph is the minimum size of a set of vertices such that each vertex is uniquely determined by the distances to the vertices of that set. Our aim is to upper-bound the order $n$ of a graph in terms of its diameter…
Let $(P,E)$ be a $(d+1)$-uniform geometric hypergraph, where $P$ is an $n$-point set in general position in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and $E\subseteq {P\choose d+1}$ is a collection of $\epsilon{n\choose d+1}$ $d$-dimensional simplices with vertices…
While most classical NP-hard graph problems cannot be solved in time $2^{o(n)}$ on general graphs under the Exponential Time Hypothesis (ETH), many exhibit the square-root phenomenon and admit optimal algorithms running in time…
In this paper we focus on the problem of finding (small) subhypergraphs in a (large) hypergraph. We use this problem to illustrate that reducing hypergraph problems to graph problems by working with the 2-section is not always a reasonable…
Graphs whose maximum clique size exceeds half of the total number of vertices satisfy a classical property: the family of their maximum sized cliques can be pierced by a single vertex. This result dates back to a 1965 theorem by Hajnal.…
Given a weighted graph $G$ and an error parameter $\epsilon > 0$, the {\em graph sparsification} problem requires sampling edges in $G$ and giving the sampled edges appropriate weights to obtain a sparse graph $G_{\epsilon}$ (containing…
The Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis and the OV-conjecture are two popular hardness assumptions used to prove a plethora of lower bounds, especially in the realm of polynomial-time algorithms. The OV-conjecture in moderate dimension…
Let $G$ be an $r$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices such that all but at most $\varepsilon \binom{n}{\ell}$ $\ell$-subsets of vertices have degree at least $p \binom{n-\ell}{r-\ell}$. We show that $G$ contains a large subgraph with high…
We show that a problem of deleting a minimum number of vertices from a graph to obtain a graph embeddable on a surface of a given Euler genus is solvable in time $2^{C_g \cdot k^2 \log k} n^{O(1)}$, where $k$ is the size of the deletion…
In this paper, we focus on the class of complete $S$-partite graphs, for $S$ an undirected graph possibly with self-loops, and address the problem of finding largest $2$-regular subgraphs of these graphs, which can be formulated as an…
