A broadcast graph is a connected graph, $G=(V,E)$, $ |V |=n$, in which each vertex can complete broadcasting of one message within at most $t=\lceil \log n\rceil$ time units. A minimum broadcast graph on $n$ vertices is a broadcast graph…

We consider the problem of a graph subjected to adversarial perturbations, such as those arising from cyber-attacks, where edges are covertly added or removed. The adversarial perturbations occur during the transmission of the graph between…

We study fundamental directed graph (digraph) problems in the streaming model. An initial investigation by Chakrabarti, Ghosh, McGregor, and Vorotnikova [SODA'20] on streaming digraphs showed that while most of these problems are provably…

In the minimum $k$-edge-connected spanning subgraph ($k$-ECSS) problem the goal is to find the minimum weight subgraph resistant to up to $k-1$ edge failures. This is a central problem in network design, and a natural generalization of the…

We show that many classical optimization problems --- such as $(1\pm\epsilon)$-approximate maximum flow, shortest path, and transshipment --- can be computed in $\newcommand{\tmix}{{\tau_{\text{mix}}}}\tmix(G)\cdot n^{o(1)}$ rounds of…

In this paper, we revisit the problem of \textsc{Broadcast}, introduced by Das, Giachoudis, Luccio, and Markou [OPODIS, 2020], where $k+1$ agents are initially placed on an $n$ node dynamic graph, where $1$ agent has a message that must be…
