We present a novel space-efficient graph coarsening technique for $n$-vertex planar graphs $G$, called cloud partition, which partitions the vertices $V(G)$ into disjoint sets $C$ of size $O(\log n)$ such that each $C$ induces a connected…

We call a graph $G$ separable if a balanced separator can be computed for $G$ of size $O(n^c)$ with $c<1$. Many real-world graphs are separable such as graphs of bounded genus, graphs of constant treewidth, and graphs excluding a fixed…

We consider the problem of designing succinct data structures for interval graphs with $n$ vertices while supporting degree, adjacency, neighborhood and shortest path queries in optimal time in the $\Theta(\log n)$-bit word RAM model. The…

Let G be an embedded planar undirected graph that has n vertices, m edges, and f faces but has no self-loop or multiple edge. If G is triangulated, we can encode it using {4/3}m-1 bits, improving on the best previous bound of about 1.53m…

We describe algorithms to efficiently compute minimum $(s,t)$-cuts and global minimum cuts of undirected surface-embedded graphs. Given an edge-weighted undirected graph $G$ with $n$ vertices embedded on an orientable surface of genus $g$,…

Let G be a plane graph of n nodes, m edges, f faces, and no self-loop. G need not be connected or simple (i.e., free of multiple edges). We give three sets of coding schemes for G which all take O(m+n) time for encoding and decoding. Our…

We show that any embedding of a planar graph can be encoded succinctly while efficiently answering a number of topological queries near-optimally. More precisely, we build on a succinct representation that encodes an embedding of $m$ edges…

Given a partition of an n element set into equivalence classes, we consider time-space tradeoffs for representing it to support the query that asks whether two given elements are in the same equivalence class. This has various applications…

We propose a fast methodology for encoding graphs with information-theoretically minimum numbers of bits. Specifically, a graph with property pi is called a pi-graph. If pi satisfies certain properties, then an n-node m-edge pi-graph G can…

Let $G$ be an edge-weighted directed graph with $n$ vertices embedded on an orientable surface of genus $g$. We describe a simple deterministic lexicographic perturbation scheme that guarantees uniqueness of minimum-cost flows and shortest…

We improve the worst-case information theoretic lower bound of Munro and Wu (ISAAC 2018) for $n-$vertex unlabeled chordal graphs when vertex leafage is bounded and leafage is unbounded. The class of unlabeled $k-$vertex leafage chordal…

We present a new approach for solving (minimum disagreement) correlation clustering that results in sublinear algorithms with highly efficient time and space complexity for this problem. In particular, we obtain the following algorithms for…

We consider the problem of designing a succinct data structure for {\it path graphs} (which are a proper subclass of chordal graphs and a proper superclass of interval graphs) on $n$ vertices while supporting degree, adjacency, and…

A $\textit{compression scheme}$ $A$ for a class $\mathbb{G}$ of graphs consists of an encoding algorithm $\textit{Encode}_A$ that computes a binary string $\textit{Code}_A(G)$ for any given graph $G$ in $\mathbb{G}$ and a decoding algorithm…

Given a planar graph G on n vertices and an integer parameter r<n, an r-division of G with few holes is a decomposition of G into O(n/r) regions of size at most r such that each region contains at most a constant number of faces that are…

We solve an open problem related to an optimal encoding of a straight line program (SLP), a canonical form of grammar compression deriving a single string deterministically. We show that an information-theoretic lower bound for representing…

A graph $G$ contains a graph $H$ as an induced minor if $H$ can be obtained from $G$ by vertex deletions and edge contractions. The class of $H$-induced-minor-free graphs generalizes the class of $H$-minor-free graphs, but unlike…

A graph G'(V,E') is an \eps-sparsification of G for some \eps>0, if every (weighted) cut in G' is within (1\pm \eps) of the corresponding cut in G. A celebrated result of Benczur and Karger shows that for every undirected graph G, an…

The Planar Graph Metric Compression Problem is to compactly encode the distances among $k$ nodes in a planar graph of size $n$. Two na\"ive solutions are to store the graph using $O(n)$ bits, or to explicitly store the distance matrix with…

Let $G$ be a planar $3$-graph (i.e., a planar graph with vertex degree at most three) with $n$ vertices. We present the first $O(n^2)$-time algorithm that computes a planar orthogonal drawing of $G$ with the minimum number of bends in the…
