A graph algorithm is truly subquadratic if it runs in ${\cal O}(m^b)$ time on connected $m$-edge graphs, for some positive $b < 2$. Roditty and Vassilevska Williams (STOC'13) proved that under plausible complexity assumptions, there is no…
For a family of graphs $\mathcal{F}$, Weighted $\mathcal{F}$-Deletion is the problem for which the input is a vertex weighted graph $G=(V,E)$ and the goal is to delete $S\subseteq V$ with minimum weight such that $G\setminus…

In well-studied graph modification problems, adding and deleting vertices and edges are used as graph editing operations. We propose a model for graph modification on geometric intersection graphs called Geometric Graph Edit Distance that…
A median graph is a connected graph, such that for any three vertices $u,v,w$ there is exactly one vertex $x$ that lies simultaneously on a shortest $(u,v)$-path, a shortest $(v,w)$-path and a shortest $(w,u)$-path. Examples of median…
The metric dimension of a graph is the cardinality of a minimum resolving set, which is the set of vertices such that the distance representations of every vertex with respect to that set are unique. A fault-tolerant metric basis is a…

Let ${\cal G}=(G,w)$ be a weighted simple finite connected graph, that is, let $G$ be a simple finite connected graph endowed with a function $w$ from the set of the edges of $G$ to the set of real numbers. For any subgraph $G'$ of $G$, we…
The \emph{metric dimension} of a graph $G$, denoted by $\dim(G)$, is the minimum number of vertices such that each vertex is uniquely determined by its distances to the chosen vertices. Let $G_1$ and $G_2$ be disjoint copies of a graph $G$…

A resolving set for a graph $\Gamma$ is a collection of vertices $S$, chosen so that for each vertex $v$, the list of distances from $v$ to the members of $S$ uniquely specifies $v$. The metric dimension of $\Gamma$ is the smallest size of…
A supergrid graph is a finite vertex-induced subgraph of the infinite graph whose vertex set consists of all points of the plane with integer coordinates and in which two vertices are adjacent if the difference of their x or y coordinates…
We show that every $\alpha$-approximate minimum cut in a connected graph is the unique minimum $(S,T)$-terminal cut for some subsets $S$ and $T$ of vertices each of size at most $\lfloor2\alpha\rfloor+1$. This leads to an alternative proof…
In the context of fine-grained complexity, we investigate the notion of certificate enabling faster polynomial-time algorithms. We specifically target radius (minimum eccentricity), diameter (maximum eccentricity), and all-eccentricity…
For unweighted graphs, finding isometric embeddings is closely related to decompositions of $G$ into Cartesian products of smaller graphs. When $G$ is isomorphic to a Cartesian graph product, we call the factors of this product a…
Computing a (short) path between two vertices is one of the most fundamental primitives in graph algorithmics. In recent years, the study of paths in temporal graphs, that is, graphs where the vertex set is fixed but the edge set changes…
A set of vertices $S$ resolves a graph $G$ if every vertex is uniquely determined by its vector of distances to the vertices in $S$. The metric dimension of $G$ is the minimum cardinality of a resolving set of $G$. Let $\{G_1, G_2, \ldots,…
Given a graph $G=(V,E)$, a set $S\subseteq V$ is said to be a monitoring edge-geodetic set if the deletion of any edge in the graph results in a change in the distance between at least one pair of vertices in $S$. The minimum size of such a…
An algorithm observes the trajectories of random walks over an unknown graph $G$, starting from the same vertex $x$, as well as the degrees along the trajectories. For all finite connected graphs, one can estimate the number of edges $m$ up…
A mapping $\alpha : V(G) \to V(H)$ from the vertex set of one graph $G$ to another graph $H$ is an isometric embedding if the shortest path distance between any two vertices in $G$ equals the distance between their images in $H$. Here, we…
