A geometric $t$-spanner $\mathcal{G}$ on a set $S$ of $n$ point sites in a metric space $P$ is a subgraph of the complete graph on $S$ such that for every pair of sites $p,q$ the distance in $\mathcal{G}$ is a most $t$ times the distance…

We study the complexity of fundamental distributed graph problems in the recently popular setting where information about the input graph is available to the nodes before the start of the computation. We focus on the most common such…

A locally-optimal structure is a combinatorial structure such as a maximal independent set that cannot be improved by certain (greedy) local moves, even though it may not be globally optimal. It is trivial to construct an independent set in…

Given a point set $P$ in the Euclidean plane and a parameter $t$, we define an \emph{oriented $t$-spanner} $G$ as an oriented subgraph of the complete bi-directed graph such that for every pair of points, the shortest closed walk in $G$…

This paper studies the complexity of distributed construction of purely additive spanners in the CONGEST model. We describe algorithms for building such spanners in several cases. Because of the need to simultaneously make decisions at far…

For any constants $d\ge 1$, $\epsilon >0$, $t>1$, and any $n$-point set $P\subset\mathbb{R}^d$, we show that there is a geometric graph $G=(P,E)$ having $O(n\log^2 n\log\log n)$ edges with the following property: For any $F\subseteq P$,…

We introduce and investigate a new notion of resilience in graph spanners. Let $S$ be a spanner of a graph $G$. Roughly speaking, we say that a spanner $S$ is resilient if all its point-to-point distances are resilient to edge failures.…

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have achieved remarkable performance on graph-based tasks. The key idea for GNNs is to obtain informative representation through aggregating information from local neighborhoods. However, it remains an open…

The interaction between local traits and global frameworks of mathematical objects has long endured as a central theme in various mathematical domains. A graph \(G\) is referred to as locally linear provided that the subgraph induced by the…

Recently Rubinfeld et al. (ICS 2011, pp. 223--238) proposed a new model of sublinear algorithms called \emph{local computation algorithms}. In this model, a computation problem $F$ may have more than one legal solution and each of them…

In this paper, we initiate a systematic study of graph resilience. The (local) resilience of a graph G with respect to a property P measures how much one has to change G (locally) in order to destroy P. Estimating the resilience leads to…

We consider upward-planar layered drawings of directed graphs, i.e., crossing-free drawings in which each edge is drawn as a y-monotone curve going upward from its tail to its head, and the y-coordinates of the vertices are integers. The…

A locally surjective homomorphism from a graph $G$ to a graph $H$ is an edge-preserving mapping from $V(G)$ to $V(H)$ that is surjective in the neighborhood of each vertex in $G$. In the list locally surjective homomorphism problem, denoted…

Given an edge-weighted graph $G$ and $\epsilon>0$, a $(1+\epsilon)$-spanner is a spanning subgraph $G'$ whose shortest path distances approximate those of $G$ within a $(1+\epsilon)$ factor. If $G$ is from certain minor-closed graph…
