Given an undirected graph $G$ and an error parameter $\epsilon > 0$, the {\em graph sparsification} problem requires sampling edges in $G$ and giving the sampled edges appropriate weights to obtain a sparse graph $G_{\epsilon}$ with the…

We propose new succinct representations of ordinal trees, which have been studied extensively. It is known that any $n$-node static tree can be represented in $2n + o(n)$ bits and a number of operations on the tree can be supported in…

We present an algorithm that takes as input an $n$-vertex planar graph $G$ and a $k$-vertex pattern graph $P$, and computes the number of (induced) copies of $P$ in $G$ in $2^{O(k/\log k)}n^{O(1)}$ time. If $P$ is a matching, independent…

We give an algorithm to morph planar graph drawings that achieves small grid size at the expense of allowing a constant number of bends on each edge. The input is an $n$-vertex planar graph and two planar straight-line drawings of the graph…

Erd\H{o}s and West (Discrete Mathematics'85) considered the class of $n$ vertex intersection graphs which have a {\em $d$-dimensional} {\em $t$-representation}, that is, each vertex of a graph in the class has an associated set consisting…

Let $G$ be an $n$-node simple directed planar graph with nonnegative edge weights. We study the fundamental problems of computing (1) a global cut of $G$ with minimum weight and (2) a~cycle of $G$ with minimum weight. The best previously…

For the first time we provide a succinct pattern matching index for arbitrary graphs that can be built in polynomial time, which requires less space and answers queries more efficiently than the one in [SODA 2021]. We show that, given an…

We present a succinct data structure for permutation graphs, and their superclass of circular permutation graphs, i.e., data structures using optimal space up to lower order terms. Unlike concurrent work on circle graphs (Acan et al. 2022),…

Subexponential parameterized algorithms are known for a wide range of natural problems on planar graphs, but the techniques are usually highly problem specific. The goal of this paper is to introduce a framework for obtaining…

Given an $n$-bit array $A$, the succinct rank data structure problem asks to construct a data structure using space $n+r$ bits for $r\ll n$, supporting rank queries of form $\mathtt{rank}(x)=\sum_{i=0}^{x-1} A[i]$. In this paper, we design…

For an undirected $n$-vertex graph $G$ with non-negative edge-weights, we consider the following type of query: given two vertices $s$ and $t$ in $G$, what is the weight of a minimum $st$-cut in $G$? We solve this problem in preprocessing…

Since Jacobson [FOCS89] initiated the investigation of succinct graph encodings 35 years ago, there has been a long list of results on balancing the generality of the class, the speed, the succinctness of the encoding, and the query…

We study algorithms for spectral graph sparsification. The input is a graph $G$ with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, and the output is a sparse graph $\tilde{G}$ that approximates $G$ in an algebraic sense. Concretely, for all vectors $x$ and…

For an undirected $n$-vertex planar graph $G$ with non-negative edge-weights, we consider the following type of query: given two vertices $s$ and $t$ in $G$, what is the weight of a min $st$-cut in $G$? We show how to answer such queries in…

We give an algorithm which for an input planar graph $G$ of $n$ vertices and integer $k$, in $\min\{O(n\log^3n),O(nk^2)\}$ time either constructs a branch-decomposition of $G$ with width at most $(2+\delta)k$, $\delta>0$ is a constant, or a…

We study faster algorithms for producing the minimum degree ordering used to speed up Gaussian elimination. This ordering is based on viewing the non-zero elements of a symmetric positive definite matrix as edges of an undirected graph, and…

The choice dictionary is introduced as a data structure that can be initialized with a parameter $n\in\mathbb{N}=\{1,2,\ldots\}$ and subsequently maintains an initially empty subset $S$ of $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ under insertion, deletion,…

We present space-efficient algorithms for computing cut vertices in a given graph with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges in linear time using $O(n+\min\{m,n\log \log n\})$ bits. With the same time and using $O(n+m)$ bits, we can compute the…

We prove essentially tight lower bounds, conditionally to the Exponential Time Hypothesis, for two fundamental but seemingly very different cutting problems on surface-embedded graphs: the Shortest Cut Graph problem and the Multiway Cut…
