In this work, we address the problem of approximate pattern matching with wildcards. Given a pattern $P$ of length $m$ containing $D$ wildcards, a text $T$ of length $n$, and an integer $k$, our objective is to identify all fragments of $T$…
The $d$-dimensional pattern matching problem is to find an occurrence of a pattern of length $m \times \dots \times m$ within a text of length $n \times \dots \times n$, with $n \ge m$. This task models various problems in text and image…
We address the following general question: given a graph class C on which we can solve Maximum Matching in (quasi) linear time, does the same hold true for the class of graphs that can be modularly decomposed into C ? A major difficulty in…
Randomized parallel algorithms for many fundamental problems achieve optimal linear work in expectation, but upgrading this guarantee to hold with high probability (whp) remains a recurring theoretical challenge. In this paper, we address…
We design quantum algorithms for maximum matching. Working in the query model, in both adjacency matrix and adjacency list settings, we improve on the best known algorithms for general graphs, matching previously obtained results for…
We present improved deterministic distributed algorithms for a number of well-studied matching problems, which are simpler, faster, more accurate, and/or more general than their known counterparts. The common denominator of these results is…
This paper is devoted to the distributed complexity of finding an approximation of the maximum cut in graphs. A classical algorithm consists in letting each vertex choose its side of the cut uniformly at random. This does not require any…
Ordered matchings, defined as graphs with linearly ordered vertices, where each vertex is connected to exactly one edge, play a crucial role in the area of ordered graphs and their homomorphisms. Therefore, we consider related problems from…
A matching in a hypergraph $H$ is a set of pairwise vertex disjoint edges in $H$ and the matching number of $H$ is the maximum cardinality of a matching in $H$. A transversal in $H$ is a subset of vertices in $H$ that has a nonempty…
Cohesive subgraph discovery in a network is one of the fundamental problems and investigated for several decades. In this paper, we propose the Overlapping Cohesive Subgraphs with Minimum degree (OCSM) problem which combines three key…
Let $H_n$ be a graph on $n$ vertices and let $\ber{H_n}$ denote the complement of $H_n$. Suppose that $\Delta = \Delta(n)$ is the maximum degree of $\ber{H_n}$. We analyse three algorithms for sampling $d$-regular subgraphs ($d$-factors) of…
We study the classical NP-hard problems of finding maximum-size subsets from given sets of $k$ terminal pairs that can be routed via edge-disjoint paths (MaxEDP) or node-disjoint paths (MaxNDP) in a given graph. The approximability of…
Universality, namely distributional invariance, is a well-known property for many random structures. For example, it is known to hold for a broad range of variational problems with random input. Much less is known about the algorithmic…
In a minimum $p$ union problem (Min$p$U), given a hypergraph $G=(V,E)$ and an integer $p$, the goal is to find a set of $p$ hyperedges $E'\subseteq E$ such that the number of vertices covered by $E'$ (that is $|\bigcup_{e\in E'}e|$) is…
In this paper, we study the problem of finding a maximum matching in the semi-streaming model when edges arrive in a random order. In the semi-streaming model, an algorithm receives a stream of edges and it is allowed to have a memory of…
Complex systems frequently exhibit multi-way, rather than pairwise, interactions. These group interactions cannot be faithfully modeled as collections of pairwise interactions using graphs and instead require hypergraphs. However, methods…
