For unweighted graphs, finding isometric embeddings is closely related to decompositions of $G$ into Cartesian products of smaller graphs. When $G$ is isomorphic to a Cartesian graph product, we call the factors of this product a…

We study the problem of compressing a weighted graph $G$ on $n$ vertices, building a "sketch" $H$ of $G$, so that given any vector $x \in \mathbb{R}^n$, the value $x^T L_G x$ can be approximated up to a multiplicative $1+\epsilon$ factor…

We present a simple and faster algorithm for computing fair cuts on undirected graphs, a concept introduced in recent work of Li et al. (SODA 2023). Informally, for any parameter $\epsilon>0$, a $(1+\epsilon)$-fair $(s,t)$-cut is an…

In this paper, we introduce a variant of spectral sparsification, called probabilistic $(\varepsilon,\delta)$-spectral sparsification. Roughly speaking, it preserves the cut value of any cut $(S,S^{c})$ with an $1\pm\varepsilon$…

The (non-uniform) sparsest cut problem is the following graph-partitioning problem: given a "supply" graph, and demands on pairs of vertices, delete some subset of supply edges to minimize the ratio of the supply edges cut to the total…

In an undirected graph, a $k$-cut is a set of edges whose removal breaks the graph into at least $k$ connected components. The minimum weight $k$-cut can be computed in $O(n^{O(k)})$ time, but when $k$ is treated as part of the input,…

We describe algorithms to efficiently compute minimum $(s,t)$-cuts and global minimum cuts of undirected surface-embedded graphs. Given an edge-weighted undirected graph $G$ with $n$ vertices embedded on an orientable surface of genus $g$,…

We introduce three new cut tree structures of graphs $G$ in which the vertex set of the tree is a partition of $V(G)$ and contractions of tree vertices satisfy sparsification requirements that preserve various types of cuts. Recently,…

This paper shows the weighted matching problem on general graphs can be solved in time $O(n(m + n\log n))$ for $n$ and $m$ the number of vertices and edges, respectively. This was previously known only for bipartite graphs. The crux is a…
