This study investigates the infinite-horizon optimal control problem for switched Boolean control networks with an average-cost criterion. A primary challenge of this problem is the prohibitively high computational cost when dealing with…
THIS IS A CORRECTED VERSION INCLUDING AN APPENDED CORRIGENDUM. Best match graphs arise naturally as the first processing intermediate in algorithms for orthology detection. Let $T$ be a phylogenetic (gene) tree $T$ and $\sigma$ an…
We initiate the study of coresets for clustering in graph metrics, i.e., the shortest-path metric of edge-weighted graphs. Such clustering problems are essential to data analysis and used for example in road networks and data visualization.…
We study the problem of collective tree exploration in which a team of $k$ mobile agents must collectively visit all nodes of an unknown tree in as few moves as possible. The agents all start from the root and discover adjacent edges as…
The notion of degree-constrained spanning hierarchies, also called k-trails, was recently introduced in the context of network routing problems. They describe graphs that are homomorphic images of connected graphs of degree at most k. First…
In this two-part paper, we identify a broad class of decentralized output-feedback LQG systems for which the optimal control strategies have a simple intuitive estimation structure and can be computed efficiently. Roughly, we consider the…
Motivated by the scaling limits of the connected components of the configuration model, we study uniform connected multigraphs with fixed degree sequence $\mathcal{D}$ and with surplus $k$. We call those random graphs…
We address the problem of enumerating all temporal k-cores given a query time range and a temporal graph, which suffers from poor efficiency and scalability in the state-of-the-art solution. Motivated by an existing concept called core…
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…
Maintaining a $k$-core decomposition quickly in a dynamic graph has important applications in network analysis. The main challenge for designing efficient exact algorithms is that a single update to the graph can cause significant global…
We consider a dynamic model for competition in a social network, where two strategic agents have fixed beliefs and the non-strategic/regular agents adjust their states according to a distributed consensus protocol. We suppose that one…
A feedback vertex set (FVS) of an undirected graph contains vertices from every cycle of this graph. Constructing a FVS of sufficiently small cardinality is very difficult in the worst cases, but for random graphs this problem can be…
We introduce a $k$-leaf removal algorithm as a generalization of the so-called leaf removal algorithm. In this pruning algorithm, vertices of degree smaller than $k$, together with their first nearest neighbors and all incident edges are…
We present a new algorithm, which solves the problem of distributively finding a minimum diameter spanning tree of any (non-negatively) real-weighted graph $G = (V,E,\omega)$. As an intermediate step, we use a new, fast, linear-time…
Let $G=(V,E)$ and $H$ be two graphs. Packing problem is to find in $G$ the largest number of independent subgraphs each of which is isomorphic to $H$. Let $U\subset{V}$. If the graph $G-U$ has no subgraph isomorphic to $H$, $U$ is a cover…
We present a new approach to edit distance attacks on certain clock-controlled generators, which applies basic concepts of Graph Theory to simplify the search trees of the original attacks in such a way that only the most promising branches…
Decomposing a graph into a hierarchical structure via $k$-core analysis is a standard operation in any modern graph-mining toolkit. $k$-core decomposition is a simple and efficient method that allows to analyze a graph beyond its mere…
We study dynamic graph algorithms in the Massively Parallel Computation model, which was inspired by practical data processing systems. Our goal is to provide algorithms that can efficiently handle large batches of edge insertions and…
We consider the question of orienting the edges in a graph $G$ such that every vertex has bounded out-degree. For graphs of arboricity $\alpha$, there is an orientation in which every vertex has out-degree at most $\alpha$ and, moreover,…
We revisit the \textsc{$k$-Secluded Tree} problem. Given a vertex-weighted undirected graph $G$, its objective is to find a maximum-weight induced subtree $T$ whose open neighborhood has size at most $k$. We present a fixed-parameter…
