Our input is a directed graph $G = (V,E)$ on $n$ vertices and $m$ edges with a designated root vertex $r$ and a function $cost: E \rightarrow \mathbb{R}_{\geq 0}$. The problem is to maintain a min-cost arborescence in $G$ in the presence of…

This paper considers a natural fault-tolerant shortest paths problem: for some constant integer $f$, given a directed weighted graph with no negative cycles and two fixed vertices $s$ and $t$, compute (either explicitly or implicitly) for…

Resilient computation in all-to-all-communication models has attracted tremendous attention over the years. Most of these works assume the classical faulty model which restricts the total number of corrupted edges (or vertices) by some…

We consider the probability model of edge-fault tolerance of a network in the sense of connectivity with link faults. Using graph-theoretical notation, we define the edge-fault (EF) and Menger-type edge-fault (MEF) tolerances of a graph as…

We consider the problem of implementing distributed protocols, despite adversarial channel errors, on synchronous-messaging networks with arbitrary topology. In our first result we show that any $n$-party $T$-round protocol on an undirected…

A graph is maximal knotless if it is edge maximal for the property of knotless embedding in $R^3$. We show that such a graph has at least $\frac74 |V|$ edges, and construct an infinite family of maximal knotless graphs with $|E| <…

In this work, we initiate the study of fault tolerant Max Cut, where given an edge-weighted undirected graph $G=(V,E)$, the goal is to find a cut $S\subseteq V$ that maximizes the total weight of edges that cross $S$ even after an adversary…

A $t$-spanner of a graph $G$ is a subgraph $H$ in which all distances are preserved up to a multiplicative $t$ factor. A classical result of Alth\"ofer et al. is that for every integer $k$ and every graph $G$, there is a $(2k-1)$-spanner of…

The $H$-Free Edge Deletion problem asks, for a given graph $G$ and an integer $k$, whether it is possible to delete at most $k$ edges from $G$ to make it $H$-free, that is, not containing $H$ as an induced subgraph. The $H$-Free Edge…

For any fixed positive integer $r$ and a given budget $k$, the $r$-\textsc{Eigenvalue Vertex Deletion} ($r$-EVD) problem asks if a graph $G$ admits a subset $S$ of at most $k$ vertices such that the adjacency matrix of $G\setminus S$ has at…

Let $F_{v}$ (resp. $F_e$) be the set of faulty vertices (resp. faulty edges) in the $n$-dimensional balanced hypercube $BH_n$. Fault-tolerant Hamiltonian laceability in $BH_n$ with at most $2n-2$ faulty edges is obtained in [Inform. Sci.…

Let $\mc{F}$ be a family of graphs. A graph is {\em $\mc{F}$-free} if it contains no copy of a graph in $\mc{F}$ as a subgraph. A cornerstone of extremal graph theory is the study of the {\em Tur\'an number} $ex(n,\mc{F})$, the maximum…

A $(\beta,\epsilon)$-$\textit{hopset}$ is, informally, a weighted edge set that, when added to a graph, allows one to get from point $a$ to point $b$ using a path with at most $\beta$ edges ("hops") and length…

An odd hole in a graph is a induced cycle with odd length greater than 3. In an earlier paper (with Sophie Spirkl), solving a longstanding open problem, we gave a polynomial-time algorithm to test if a graph has an odd hole. We subsequently…
