\emph{Temporal graphs} are a generalisation of (static) graphs, defined by a sequence of \emph{snapshots}, each a static graph defined over a common set of vertices. \emph{Exploration} problems are one of the most fundamental and most…

For a graph $G$, let $\nu_s(G)$ be the induced matching number of $G$. We prove that $\nu_s(G) \geq \frac{n(G)}{(\lceil\frac{\Delta}{2}\rceil+1) (\lfloor\frac{\Delta}{2}\rfloor+1)}$ for every graph of sufficiently large maximum degree…
A matching in a graph is a set of edges no two of which share a common vertex. A matching M is an induced matching if no edge connects two edges of M. The problem of finding a maximum induced matching is known to be NP-hard in general and…
We study algorithms for estimating the size of maximum matching. This problem has been subject to extensive research. For $n$-vertex graphs, Bhattacharya, Kiss, and Saranurak [FOCS'23] (BKS) showed that an estimate that is within…
We consider the problem of maintaining a proper $(\Delta + 1)$-vertex coloring in a graph on $n$-vertices and maximum degree $\Delta$ undergoing edge insertions and deletions. We give a randomized algorithm with amortized update time…
We consider the problem of assigning appearing times to the edges of a digraph in order to maximize the (average) temporal reachability between pairs of nodes. Motivated by the application to public transit networks, where edges cannot be…
Given a graph $G=(V, E)$ and and a proper labeling $f$ from $V$ to $\{1, ..., n\}$, we define $B(f)$ as the maximum absolute difference between $f(u)$ and $f(v)$ where $(u,v)\in E$. The bandwidth of $G$ is the minimum $B(f)$ for all $f$.…
We study distributed algorithms that find a maximal matching in an anonymous, edge-coloured graph. If the edges are properly coloured with $k$ colours, there is a trivial greedy algorithm that finds a maximal matching in $k-1$ synchronous…
Temporal graphs are a class of graphs defined by a constant set of vertices and a changing set of edges, each of which is known as a timestep. These graphs are well motivated in modelling real-world networks, where connections may change…
The maximum bipartite matching problem is among the most fundamental and well-studied problems in combinatorial optimization. A beautiful and celebrated combinatorial algorithm of Hopcroft and Karp (1973) shows that maximum bipartite…
We study how we can accelerate the spreading of information in temporal graphs via shifting operations; a problem that captures real-world applications varying from information flows to distribution schedules. In a temporal graph there is a…
In this work, we introduce a filtration on temporal graphs based on $\delta$-temporal motifs (recurrent subgraphs), yielding a multi-scale representation of temporal structure. Our temporal filtration allows tools developed for filtered…
We present a time-optimal deterministic distributed algorithm for approximating a minimum weight vertex cover in hypergraphs of rank $f$. This problem is equivalent to the Minimum Weight Set Cover Problem in which the frequency of every…
K\"onig's theorem states that on bipartite graphs the size of a maximum matching equals the size of a minimum vertex cover. It is known from prior work that for every \epsilon > 0 there exists a constant-time distributed algorithm that…
A matching cut of a graph is a partition of its vertex set in two such that no vertex has more than one neighbor across the cut. The Matching Cut problem asks if a graph has a matching cut. This problem, and its generalization d-cut, has…
Graphs are widely used to model complicated data semantics in many application domains. In this paper, two novel and efficient algorithms Fast-ON and Fast-P are proposed for solving the subgraph isomorphism problem. The two algorithms are…
We present dynamic algorithms with polylogarithmic update time for estimating the size of the maximum matching of a graph undergoing edge insertions and deletions with approximation ratio strictly better than $2$. Specifically, we obtain a…
Temporal graphs (in which edges are active at specified times) are of particular relevance for spreading processes on graphs, e.g.~the spread of disease or dissemination of information. Motivated by real-world applications, modification of…
We study the maximum cardinality matching problem in a standard distributed setting, where the nodes $V$ of a given $n$-node network graph $G=(V,E)$ communicate over the edges $E$ in synchronous rounds. More specifically, we consider the…
