Signed graphs are equipped with both positive and negative edge weights, encoding pairwise correlations as well as anti-correlations in data. A balanced signed graph is a signed graph with no cycles containing an odd number of negative…

We give algorithms with running time $2^{O({\sqrt{k}\log{k}})} \cdot n^{O(1)}$ for the following problems. Given an $n$-vertex unit disk graph $G$ and an integer $k$, decide whether $G$ contains (1) a path on exactly/at least $k$ vertices,…

Can linear systems be solved faster than matrix multiplication? While there has been remarkable progress for the special cases of graph structured linear systems, in the general setting, the bit complexity of solving an $n \times n$ linear…
Spectral clustering is a fundamental method for graph partitioning, but its reliance on eigenvector computation limits scalability to massive graphs. Classical sparsification methods preserve spectral properties by sampling edges…
We present a dynamic algorithm for maintaining the connected and 2-edge-connected components in an undirected graph subject to edge deletions. The algorithm is Monte-Carlo randomized and processes any sequence of edge deletions in $O(m + n…
We show that a problem of deleting a minimum number of vertices from a graph to obtain a graph embeddable on a surface of a given Euler genus is solvable in time $2^{C_g \cdot k^2 \log k} n^{O(1)}$, where $k$ is the size of the deletion…
High-performance TSP solvers like LKH search within a sparsified candidate graph rather than over all possible edges. Graph sparsification is non-trivial: keep too many edges and the solver wastes time; cut too many and it loses edges that…
We give an algorithm that, with high probability, maintains a $(1-\epsilon)$-approximate $s$-$t$ maximum flow in undirected, uncapacitated $n$-vertex graphs undergoing $m$ edge insertions in $\tilde{O}(m+ n F^*/\epsilon)$ total update time,…

We devise new cut sparsifiers that are related to the classical sparsification of Nagamochi and Ibaraki [Algorithmica, 1992], which is an algorithm that, given an unweighted graph $G$ on $n$ nodes and a parameter $k$, computes a subgraph…

In a sequence of recent results (PODC 2015 and PODC 2016), the running time of the fastest algorithm for the \emph{minimum spanning tree (MST)} problem in the \emph{Congested Clique} model was first improved to $O(\log \log \log n)$ from…
We study the problem of graph clustering where the goal is to partition a graph into clusters, i.e. disjoint subsets of vertices, such that each cluster is well connected internally while sparsely connected to the rest of the graph. In…
We give an algorithm for augmenting the edge connectivity of an undirected graph by using the isolating cuts framework (Li and Panigrahi, FOCS '20). Our algorithm uses poly-logarithmic calls to any max-flow algorithm, which yields a running…
Fast matrix multiplication algorithms may be useful, provided that their running time is good in practice. Particularly, the leading coefficient of their arithmetic complexity needs to be small. Many sub-cubic algorithms have large leading…
