This paper focuses on finding a spanning tree of a graph to maximize the number of its internal vertices. We present an approximation algorithm for this problem which can achieve a performance ratio $\frac{4}{3}$ on undirected simple…
How efficiently can we find an unknown graph using distance or shortest path queries between its vertices? Let $G = (V,E)$ be an unweighted, connected graph of bounded degree. The edge set $E$ is initially unknown, and the graph can be…
Hajnal and Szemeredi proved that every graph G with |G|=ks and minimum degree at least k(s-1) contains k vertex disjoint s-cliques; moreover this degree bound is optimal. We extend their theorem to directed graphs by showing that every…
In this work, we establish theoretical and practical connections between vertex indexing for sparse graph/network compression and matrix ordering for sparse matrix-vector multiplication and variable elimination. We present a fundamental…
Graph embedding algorithms are used to efficiently represent (encode) a graph in a low-dimensional continuous vector space that preserves the most important properties of the graph. One aspect that is often overlooked is whether the graph…
In this paper, we propose a method of distributed stochastic gradient descent (SGD), with low communication load and computational complexity, and still fast convergence. To reduce the communication load, at each iteration of the algorithm,…
Let $E=\{e_1,\ldots,e_n\}$ be a set of $C$-oriented disjoint segments in the plane, where $C$ is a given finite set of orientations that spans the plane, and let $s$ and $t$ be two points. %(We also require that for each orientation in $C$,…
In this paper, we propose an algorithm for the construction of low-rank approximations of the inverse of an operator given in low-rank tensor format. The construction relies on an updated greedy algorithm for the minimization of a suitable…
In this paper, a Gauss-Seidel method with oblique direction (GSO) is proposed for finding the least-squares solution to a system of linear equations, where the coefficient matrix may be full rank or rank deficient and the system is…
We show that every sufficiently large oriented graph $G$ with minimum indegree and outdegree both at least $(3|V(G)|-1)/8$ contains every orientation of a Hamilton cycle. This result improves the approximate bound established by Kelly and…
We give an algorithm for the fully-dynamic carpooling problem with recourse: Edges arrive and depart online from a graph $G$ with $n$ nodes according to an adaptive adversary. Our goal is to maintain an orientation $H$ of $G$ that keeps the…
We investigate the convergence rate of the recently proposed subgradient-push method for distributed optimization over time-varying directed graphs. The subgradient-push method can be implemented in a distributed way without requiring…
An ordering of the vertices of a graph is \emph{connected} if every vertex (but the first) has a neighbor among its predecessors. The greedy colouring algorithm of a graph with a connected order consists in taking the vertices in order, and…
In this paper, motivated by a question posed in \cite{AH}, we introduce strongly biconvex graphs as a subclass of weakly chordal and bipartite graphs. We give a linear time algorithm to find an induced matching for such graphs and we prove…
An $s{\operatorname{-}}t$ minimum cut in a graph corresponds to a minimum weight subset of edges whose removal disconnects vertices $s$ and $t$. Finding such a cut is a classic problem that is dual to that of finding a maximum flow from $s$…
This work introduces a novel algorithm for finding the connected components of a graph where the vertices and edges are grouped into sets defining a Set--Based Graph. The algorithm, under certain restrictions on those sets, has the…
Massive network exploration is an important research direction with many applications. In such a setting, the network is, usually, modeled as a graph $G$, whereas any structural information of interest is extracted by inspecting the way…
Let v(G) be the number of vertices and t(G,k) the maximum number of disjoint k-edge trees in G. In this paper we show that (a1) if G is a graph with every vertex of degree at least two and at most s, where s > 3, then t(G,2) is at least…
There exist many orthogonal graph drawing algorithms that minimize edge crossings or edge bends, however they produce unsatisfactory drawings in many practical cases. In this paper we present a grid-based algorithm for drawing orthogonal…
We focus on a particular form of network coding, reverse carpooling, in a wireless network where the potentially coded transmitted messages are to be decoded immediately upon reception. The network is fixed and known, and the system…
