In this paper, we first consider the subpath convex hull query problem: Given a simple path $\pi$ of $n$ vertices, preprocess it so that the convex hull of any query subpath of $\pi$ can be quickly obtained. Previously, Guibas, Hershberger,…

The degree distribution of an ordered tree $T$ with $n$ nodes is $\vec{n} = (n_0,\ldots,n_{n-1})$, where $n_i$ is the number of nodes in $T$ with $i$ children. Let $\mathcal{N}(\vec{n})$ be the number of trees with degree distribution…

Let $G$ be an unlabeled planar and simple $n$-vertex graph. Unlabeled graphs are graphs where the label-information is either not given or lost during the construction of data-structures. We present a succinct encoding of $G$ that provides…

We consider the problem of computing the diameter of a unicycle graph (i.e., a graph with a unique cycle). We present an O(n) time algorithm for the problem, where n is the number of vertices of the graph. This improves the previous best…
Given in the plane a set $S$ of $n$ points and a set of disks centered at these points, the disk graph $G(S)$ induced by these disks has vertex set $S$ and an edge between two vertices if their disks intersect. Note that the disks may have…
Shortest path search is a core operation in graph-based applications, yet existing methods face important limitations. Classical algorithms such as Dijkstra's and A* become inefficient as graphs grow more complex, while index-based…
We present space-efficient algorithms for computing cut vertices in a given graph with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges in linear time using $O(n+\min\{m,n\log \log n\})$ bits. With the same time and using $O(n+m)$ bits, we can compute the…
We consider the problem of augmenting an n-vertex graph embedded in a metric space, by inserting one additional edge in order to minimize the diameter of the resulting graph. We present exact algorithms for the cases when (i) the input…
Given an undirected unweighted graph $G$ and a source set $S$ of $|S| = \sigma $ sources, we want to build a data structure which can process the following query {\sc Q}$(s,t,e):$ find the shortest distance from $s$ to $t$ avoiding an edge…

Graph similarity search has received considerable attention in many applications, such as bioinformatics, data mining, pattern recognition, and social networks. Existing methods for this problem have limited scalability because of the huge…
