Given a weighted graph $G(V,E)$ and $t \ge 1$, a subgraph $H$ is a \emph{$t$--spanner} of $G$ if the lengths of shortest paths in $G$ are preserved in $H$ up to a multiplicative factor of $t$. The \emph{subsetwise spanner} problem aims to…

Solutions to the Traveling Salesperson Problem (TSP) have practical applications to processes in transportation, logistics, and automation, yet must be computed with minimal delay to satisfy the real-time nature of the underlying tasks.…

We study a generalization of the classic Global Min-Cut problem, called Global Label Min-Cut (or sometimes Global Hedge Min-Cut): the edges of the input (multi)graph are labeled (or partitioned into color classes or hedges), and removing…

A distance labeling scheme is an assignment of bit-labels to the vertices of an undirected, unweighted graph such that the distance between any pair of vertices can be decoded solely from their labels. An important class of distance…

Shortest paths problems are subject to extensive studies in classic distributed models such as the CONGEST or Congested Clique. These models dictate how nodes may communicate in order to determine shortest paths in a distributed input…

An L(2,1)-labeling of a graph $G$ is an assignment $f$ from the vertex set $V(G)$ to the set of nonnegative integers such that $|f(x)-f(y)|\ge 2$ if $x$ and $y$ are adjacent and $|f(x)-f(y)|\ge 1$ if $x$ and $y$ are at distance 2, for all…
