Graph connectivity is a fundamental combinatorial optimization problem that arises in many practical applications, where usually a spanning subgraph of a network is used for its operation. However, in the real world, links may fail…
In the Group Steiner Tree problem (GST), we are given a (vertex or edge)-weighted graph $G=(V,E)$ on $n$ vertices, a root vertex $r$ and a collection of groups $\{S_i\}_{i\in[h]}: S_i\subseteq V(G)$. The goal is to find a min-cost subgraph…
We are interested in the design of robust (or resilient) capacitated rooted Steiner networks in case of terminals with uniform demands. Formally, we are given a graph, capacity and cost functions on the edges, a root, a subset of nodes…
Node-connectivity augmentation is a fundamental network design problem. We are given a $k$-node connected graph $G$ together with an additional set of links, and the goal is to add a cheap subset of links to $G$ to make it $(k+1)$-node…

Adjiashvili introduced network design in a non-uniform fault model: the edge set of a given graph is partitioned into safe and unsafe edges. A vertex pair $(s,t)$ is $(p,q)$-flex-connected if $s$ and $t$ have $p$ edge-connectivity even…
We abstract and study \emph{reachability preservers}, a graph-theoretic primitive that has been implicit in prior work on network design. Given a directed graph $G = (V, E)$ and a set of \emph{demand pairs} $P \subseteq V \times V$, a…

A natural requirement of many distributed structures is fault-tolerance: after some failures, whatever remains from the structure should still be effective for whatever remains from the network. In this paper we examine spanners of general…
The edge-fault-tolerance of networks is of great significance to the design and maintenance of networks. For any pair of vertices $u$ and $v$ of the connected graph $G$, if they are connected by $\min \{ \deg_G(u),\deg_G(v)\}$ edge-disjoint…
We study the problem of extracting a selective connector for a given set of query vertices $Q \subseteq V$ in a graph $G = (V,E)$. A selective connector is a subgraph of $G$ which exhibits some cohesiveness property, and contains the query…
