Exact pattern matching in labeled graphs is the problem of searching paths of a graph $G=(V,E)$ that spell the same string as the given pattern $P[1..m]$. This basic problem can be found at the heart of more complex operations on variation…
We revisit Min-Mean-Cycle, the classical problem of finding a cycle in a weighted directed graph with minimum mean weight. Despite an extensive algorithmic literature, previous work falls short of a near-linear runtime in the number of…
We introduce graph wedgelets - a tool for data compression on graphs based on the representation of signals by piecewise constant functions on adaptively generated binary graph partitionings. The adaptivity of the partitionings, a key…
For random graphs, the containment problem considers the probability that a binomial random graph $G(n,p)$ contains a given graph as a substructure. When asking for the graph as a topological minor, i.e., for a copy of a subdivision of the…
We consider the problem of assigning weights to a set of samples or data records, with the goal of achieving a representative weighting, which happens when certain sample averages of the data are close to prescribed values. We frame the…

We study graph partitioning problems from a min-max perspective, in which an input graph on n vertices should be partitioned into k parts, and the objective is to minimize the maximum number of edges leaving a single part. The two main…

Graph pattern matching is a routine process for a wide variety of applications such as social network analysis. It is typically defined in terms of subgraph isomorphism which is NP-Complete. To lower its complexity, many extensions of graph…
As a model problem for clustering, we consider the densest k-disjoint-clique problem of partitioning a weighted complete graph into k disjoint subgraphs such that the sum of the densities of these subgraphs is maximized. We establish that…

A connected undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ is given. This paper presents an algorithm that samples (non-uniformly) a $K$ partition $U_1,\ldots U_K$ of the graph nodes $V$, such that the subgraph induced by each $U_k$, with $k=1:K$, is…
For any set system $H=(V,R), \ R \subseteq 2^V$, a subset $S \subseteq V$ is called \emph{shattered} if every $S' \subseteq S$ results from the intersection of $S$ with some set in $\R$. The \emph{VC-dimension} of $H$ is the size of a…
A graph $G$ is called $B_k$-VPG, for some constant $k\geq 0$, if it has a string representation on an axis-parallel grid such that each vertex is a path with at most $k$ bends and two vertices are adjacent in $G$ if and only if the…
