The locality of a graph problem is the smallest distance $T$ such that each node can choose its own part of the solution based on its radius-$T$ neighborhood. In many settings, a graph problem can be solved efficiently with a distributed or…

In this paper we present an efficient reachability oracle under single-edge or single-vertex failures for planar directed graphs. Specifically, we show that a planar digraph $G$ can be preprocessed in $O(n\log^2{n}/\log\log{n})$ time,…

In this thesis, we present new techniques to deal with fundamental algorithmic graph problems where graphs are directed and partially dynamic, i.e. undergo either a sequence of edge insertions or deletions: - Single-Source Reachability…

We study the computability and complexity of the exploration problem in a class of highly dynamic graphs: periodically varying (PV) graphs, where the edges exist only at some (unknown) times defined by the periodic movements of carriers.…

Vizing's theorem states that any $n$-vertex $m$-edge graph of maximum degree $\Delta$ can be edge colored using at most $\Delta + 1$ different colors [Vizing, 1964]. Vizing's original proof is algorithmic and shows that such an edge…

We abstract and study \emph{reachability preservers}, a graph-theoretic primitive that has been implicit in prior work on network design. Given a directed graph $G = (V, E)$ and a set of \emph{demand pairs} $P \subseteq V \times V$, a…

Temporal graphs are graphs where the presence or properties of their vertices and edges change over time. When time is discrete, a temporal graph can be defined as a sequence of static graphs over a discrete time span, called lifetime, or…

The graph-navigability problem concerns how one can find as short paths as possible between a pair of vertices, given an incomplete picture of a graph. We study the navigability of graphs where the vertices are tagged by a number (between 1…

We consider the influence maximization problem over a temporal graph, where there is a single fixed source. We deviate from the standard model of influence maximization, where the goal is to choose the set of most influential vertices.…

We initiate the study of a new parameterization of graph problems. In a multiple interval representation of a graph, each vertex is associated to at least one interval of the real line, with an edge between two vertices if and only if an…

Several modern applications involve huge graphs and require fast answers to reachability queries. In more than two decades since first proposals, several approaches have been presented adopting on-line searches, hop labelling or transitive…

We consider the problem of finding all allowed edges in a bipartite graph $G=(V,E)$, i.e., all edges that are included in some maximum matching. We show that given any maximum matching in the graph, it is possible to perform this…

In this paper, we consider reachability oracles and reachability preservers for directed graphs/networks prone to edge/node failures. Let $G = (V, E)$ be a directed graph on $n$-nodes, and $P\subseteq V\times V$ be a set of vertex pairs in…

Many NP-Hard problems on general graphs, such as maximum independence set, maximal cliques and graph coloring can be solved efficiently on chordal graphs. In this paper, we explore the problem of non-separating st-paths defined on edges:…

A temporal graph is a finite sequence of graphs, called snapshots, over the same vertex set. Many temporal graph problems turn out to be much more difficult than their static counterparts. One such problem is \textsc{Timeline Vertex Cover}…
