Given a weighted graph $G(V,E)$ and $t \ge 1$, a subgraph $H$ is a \emph{$t$--spanner} of $G$ if the lengths of shortest paths in $G$ are preserved in $H$ up to a multiplicative factor of $t$. The \emph{subsetwise spanner} problem aims to…

Aligning sequencing reads on graph representations of genomes is an important ingredient of pan-genomics. Such approaches typically find a set of local anchors that indicate plausible matches between substrings of a read to subpaths of the…

Computing a Euclidean minimum spanning tree of a set of points is a seminal problem in computational geometry and geometric graph theory. We combine it with another classical problem in graph drawing, namely computing a monotone geometric…

For a graph $G$, let $Z(G,\lambda)$ be the partition function of the monomer-dimer system defined by $\sum_k m_k(G)\lambda^k$, where $m_k(G)$ is the number of matchings of size $k$ in $G$. We consider graphs of bounded degree and develop a…
Finding a shortest path in a graph is one of the most classic problems in algorithmic and graph theory. While we dispose of quite efficient algorithms for this ordinary problem (like the Dijkstra or Bellman-Ford algorithms), some slight…
We consider two natural variants of the problem of minimum spanning tree (MST) of a graph in the parallel setting: MST verification (verifying if a given tree is an MST) and the sensitivity analysis of an MST (finding the lowest cost…
