We study how to sparsify connectivity in graphs under a tight deletion budget. Given a graph $G$ and integers $k,x \ge 0$, Critical Node Cut (CNC) asks whether we can delete at most $k$ vertices so that the number of remaining unordered…

We pursue a study of the Generalized Demand Matching problem, a common generalization of the $b$-Matching and Knapsack problems. Here, we are given a graph with vertex capacities, edge profits, and asymmetric demands on the edges. The goal…

We show a deterministic algorithm for computing edge connectivity of a simple graph with $m$ edges in $m^{1+o(1)}$ time. Although the fastest deterministic algorithm by Henzinger, Rao, and Wang [SODA'17] has a faster running time of…

A motif is a frequently occurring subgraph of a given directed or undirected graph $G$. Motifs capture higher order organizational structure of $G$ beyond edge relationships, and, therefore, have found wide applications such as in graph…
