A $k$-spanner of a graph $G$ is a sparse subgraph $H$ whose shortest path distances match those of $G$ up to a multiplicative error $k$. In this paper we study spanners that are resistant to faults. A subgraph $H \subseteq G$ is an $f$…

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have achieved great success among various domains. Nevertheless, most GNN methods are sensitive to the quality of graph structures. To tackle this problem, some studies exploit different graph structure learning…

We initiate the algorithmic study of the following "structured augmentation" question: is it possible to increase the connectivity of a given graph G by superposing it with another given graph H? More precisely, graph F is the superposition…

A good edge-labeling (gel for short) of a graph $G$ is a function $\lambda: E(G) \to \mathbb{R}$ such that, for any ordered pair of vertices $(x, y)$ of $G$, there do not exist two distinct increasing paths from $x$ to $y$, where…

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 investigate adjacency labeling schemes for graphs of bounded degree $\Delta = O(1)$. In particular, we present an optimal (up to an additive constant) $\log n + O(1)$ adjacency labeling scheme for bounded degree trees. The latter scheme…

Given a graph $G=(V,E)$ and a set of terminal vertices $T$ we say that a superset $S$ of $T$ is $T$-connecting if $S$ induces a connected graph, and $S$ is minimal if no strict subset of $S$ is $T$-connecting. In this paper we prove that…

We study dynamic planar graphs with $n$ vertices, subject to edge deletion, edge contraction, edge insertion across a face, and the splitting of a vertex in specified corners. We dynamically maintain a combinatorial embedding of such a…

An adjacency labeling scheme is a method that assigns labels to the vertices of a graph such that adjacency between vertices can be inferred directly from the assigned label, without using a centralized data structure. We devise adjacency…

A graph $G = (V,E)$ is $\textit{monopolar}$ if its vertex set admits a partition $V = (C \uplus{} I)$ where $G[C]$ is a $\textit{cluster graph}$ and $I$ is an $\textit{independent set}$ in $G$; this is a \textit{monopolar partition} of $G$.…

Answering exact shortest path distance queries is a fundamental task in graph theory. Despite a tremendous amount of research on the subject, there is still no satisfactory solution that can scale to billion-scale complex networks.…

Let $G$ be an $n$-node and $m$-edge positively real-weighted undirected graph. For any given integer $f \ge 1$, we study the problem of designing a sparse \emph{f-edge-fault-tolerant} ($f$-EFT) $\sigma${\em -approximate single-source…

We show how to assign labels of size $\tilde O(1)$ to the vertices of a directed planar graph $G$, such that from the labels of any three vertices $s,t,f$ we can deduce in $\tilde O(1)$ time whether $t$ is reachable from $s$ in the graph…

We study the {\sc Graph Relabeling Problem}--given an undirected, connected, simple graph $G = (V,E)$, two labelings $L$ and $L'$ of $G$, and label {\em flip} or {\em mutation} functions determine the complexity of transforming or evolving…

We give an FPT algorithm for deciding whether the vertex set a digraph $D$ can be partitioned into two disjoint sets $V_1,V_2$ such that the digraph $D[V_1]$ induced by $V_1$ has a vertex that can reach all other vertices by directed paths,…
