Given an n-vertex graph G, a drawing of G in the plane is a mapping of its vertices into points of the plane, and its edges into continuous curves, connecting the images of their endpoints. A crossing in such a drawing is a point where two…
{\em Partial domination problem} is a generalization of the {\em minimum dominating set problem} on graphs. Here, instead of dominating all the nodes, one asks to dominate at least a fraction of the nodes of the given graph by choosing a…
We prove essentially tight lower bounds, conditionally to the Exponential Time Hypothesis, for two fundamental but seemingly very different cutting problems on surface-embedded graphs: the Shortest Cut Graph problem and the Multiway Cut…
Let $G$ be an edge-weighted directed graph with $n$ vertices embedded on an orientable surface of genus $g$. We describe a simple deterministic lexicographic perturbation scheme that guarantees uniqueness of minimum-cost flows and shortest…
In this paper, we present efficient algorithms for the single-source shortest path problem in weighted disk graphs. A disk graph is the intersection graph of a family of disks in the plane. Here, the weight of an edge is defined as the…
Let $G$ be an $n$-node simple directed planar graph with nonnegative edge weights. We study the fundamental problems of computing (1) a global cut of $G$ with minimum weight and (2) a~cycle of $G$ with minimum weight. The best previously…
We study the 2-Disjoint Shortest Paths (2-DSP) problem: given a directed weighted graph and two terminal pairs $(s_1,t_1)$ and $(s_2,t_2)$, decide whether there exist vertex-disjoint shortest paths between each pair. Building on recent…
We initiate the study of diameter computation in geometric intersection graphs from the fine-grained complexity perspective. A geometric intersection graph is a graph whose vertices correspond to some shapes in $d$-dimensional Euclidean…
We study the problem of computing a minimum $s$--$t$ cut in an unweighted, undirected graph via \emph{cut queries}. In this model, the input graph is accessed through an oracle that, given a subset of vertices $S \subseteq V$, returns the…
Let $S$ be a set of $n$ points in a polygon $P$ with $m$ vertices. The geodesic unit-disk graph $G(S)$ induced by $S$ has vertex set $S$ and contains an edge between two vertices whenever their geodesic distance in $P$ is at most one. In…
We study the directed global minimum vertex-cut problem: given a directed vertex-weighted graph $G$, compute a vertex-cut $(L,S,R)$ in $G$ of minimum value, which is defined to be the total weight of all vertices in $S$. The problem,…
Let $G$ be a unit disk graph in the plane defined by $n$ disks whose positions are known. For the case when $G$ is unweighted, we give a simple algorithm to compute a shortest path tree from a given source in $O(n\log n)$ time. For the case…
For a set $\mathcal{D}$ of disks in the plane, its disk graph $G(\mathcal{D})$ is the graph with vertex set $\mathcal{D}$, where two vertices are adjacent if and only if the corresponding disks intersect. Given a set $\mathcal{D}$ of $n$…
We study the vertex-decremental Single-Source Shortest Paths (SSSP) problem: given an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ with lengths $\ell(e)\geq 1$ on its edges and a source vertex $s$, we need to support (approximate) shortest-path queries in…
An instance of the graph-constrained max-cut (GCMC) problem consists of (i) an undirected graph G and (ii) edge-weights on a complete undirected graph on the same vertex set. The objective is to find a subset of vertices satisfying some…
The classical Menger's theorem states that in any undirected (or directed) graph $G$, given a pair of vertices $s$ and $t$, the maximum number of vertex (edge) disjoint paths is equal to the minimum number of vertices (edges) needed to…
We consider the problem of computing all-pairs shortest paths in a directed graph with real weights assigned to vertices. For an $n\times n$ 0-1 matrix $C,$ let $K_{C}$ be the complete weighted graph on the rows of $C$ where the weight of…
The parameterized analysis of graph modification problems represents the most extensively studied area within Parameterized Complexity. Given a graph $G$ and an integer $k\in\mathbb{N}$ as input, the goal is to determine whether we can…
We present an implementation of a recent algorithm to compute shortest-path trees in unit disk graphs in $O(n\log n)$ worst-case time, where $n$ is the number of disks. In the minimum-separation problem, we are given $n$ unit disks and two…
A \emph{disk graph} is the intersection graph of (closed) disks in the plane. We consider the classic problem of finding a maximum clique in a disk graph. For general disk graphs, the complexity of this problem is still open, but for unit…
