Given an edge-weighted graph $G$ on $n$ nodes, the NP-hard Max-Cut problem asks for a node bipartition such that the sum of edge weights joining the different partitions is maximized. We propose a fixed-parameter tractable algorithm…
We study graph partitioning problems from a min-max perspective, in which an input graph on n vertices should be partitioned into k parts, and the objective is to minimize the maximum number of edges leaving a single part. The two main…
Boxicity of a graph $G(V,$ $E)$, denoted by $box(G)$, is the minimum integer $k$ such that $G$ can be represented as the intersection graph of axis parallel boxes in $\mathbb{R}^k$. The problem of computing boxicity is inapproximable even…
Inspired by the increasingly popular research on extending partial graph drawings, we propose a new perspective on the traditional and arguably most important geometric graph parameter, the crossing number. Specifically, we define the…
The biplanar crossing number of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of crossings over all possible drawings of the edges of $G$ in two disjoint planes. We present new bounds on the biplanar crossing number of complete graphs and complete…
In this paper, we introduce the following new concept in graph drawing. Our task is to find a small collection of drawings such that they all together satisfy some property that is useful for graph visualization. We propose investigating a…
We prove that the exact crossing number of a graph can be efficiently computed for simple graphs having bounded vertex cover. In more precise words, Crossing Number is in FPT when parameterized by the vertex cover size. This is a notable…
A graph is near-planar if it can be obtained from a planar graph by adding an edge. We show the surprising fact that it is NP-hard to compute the crossing number of near-planar graphs. A graph is 1-planar if it has a drawing where every…
A common way of partitioning graphs is through minimum cuts. One drawback of classical minimum cut methods is that they tend to produce small groups, which is why more balanced variants such as normalized and ratio cuts have seen more…
Research about crossings is typically about minimization. In this paper, we consider \emph{maximizing} the number of crossings over all possible ways to draw a given graph in the plane. Alpert et al. [Electron. J. Combin., 2009] conjectured…
Drawings of non-planar graphs always result in edge crossings. When there are many edges crossing at small angles, it is often difficult to follow these edges, because of the multiple visual paths resulted from the crossings that slow down…
Algorithmic extension problems of partial graph representations such as planar graph drawings or geometric intersection representations are of growing interest in topological graph theory and graph drawing. In such an extension problem, we…
The graph matching problem seeks to find an alignment between the nodes of two graphs that minimizes the number of adjacency disagreements. Solving the graph matching is increasingly important due to it's applications in operations…
We construct a new quantum algorithm for the graph collision problem; that is, the problem of deciding whether the set of marked vertices contains a pair of adjacent vertices in a known graph G. The query complexity of our algorithm is…
In the subgraph counting problem, we are given a input graph $G(V, E)$ and a target graph $H$; the goal is to estimate the number of occurrences of $H$ in $G$. Our focus here is on designing sublinear-time algorithms for approximately…
We consider the problem of untangling a given (non-planar) straight-line circular drawing $\delta_G$ of an outerplanar graph $G=(V, E)$ into a planar straight-line circular drawing by shifting a minimum number of vertices to a new position…
We present a new algorithm for approximating the number of triangles in a graph $G$ whose edges arrive as an arbitrary order stream. If $m$ is the number of edges in $G$, $T$ the number of triangles, $\Delta_E$ the maximum number of…
We propose a fixed-parameter tractable algorithm for the \textsc{Max-Cut} problem on embedded 1-planar graphs parameterized by the crossing number $k$ of the given embedding. A graph is called 1-planar if it can be drawn in the plane with…
The splitting number of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is the minimum number of vertex splits required to turn $G$ into a planar graph, where a vertex split removes a vertex $v \in V$, introduces two new vertices $v_1, v_2$, and distributes the edges…
Counting the number of triangles in a graph has many important applications in network analysis. Several frequently computed metrics like the clustering coefficient and the transitivity ratio need to count the number of triangles in the…
