A $k$-ordering of a graph $G$ assigns distinct order-labels from the set $\{1,\ldots,|G|\}$ to $k$ vertices in $G$. Given a $k$-ordering $H$, the ordered Ramsey number $R_<(H)$ is the minimum $n$ such that every edge-2-coloring of the…
The (d,1)-total labelling of graphs was introduced by Havet and Yu. In this paper, we consider the list version of (d,1)-total labelling of graphs. Let G be a graph embedded in a surface with Euler characteristic $\epsilon$ whose maximum…
We study the problem of reconstructing a hidden graph given access to a distance oracle. We design randomized algorithms for the following problems: reconstruction of a degree bounded graph with query complexity $\tilde{O}(n^{3/2})$;…
Node classification on graphs can be formulated as the Dirichlet problem on graphs where the signal is given at the labeled nodes, and the harmonic extension is done on the unlabeled nodes. This paper considers a time-dependent version of…
Reachability queries checking the existence of a path from a source node to a target node are fundamental operators for querying and processing graph data. Current approaches for index-based evaluation of reachability queries either focus…
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. We propose a series of new labeling…
We consider the problem of estimating the graph size, where one is given only local access to the graph. We formally define a query model in which one starts with a \emph{seed} node and is allowed to make queries about neighbours of nodes…
Given an $n$-vertex $m$-edge digraph $G = (V,E)$ and a set $S \subseteq V$, $|S| = n^{\sigma}$ (for some $0 < \sigma \le 1$) of designated sources, the $S \times V$-direachability problem is to compute for every $s \in S$, the set of all…
Several modern applications involve huge graphs and require fast answers to reachability queries. In more than two decades since first proposals, several approaches have been presented adopting on-line searches, hop labelling or transitive…
We present a complete classification of the deterministic distributed time complexity for a family of graph problems: binary labeling problems in trees. These are locally checkable problems that can be encoded with an alphabet of size two…
Exact pattern matching in labeled graphs is the problem of searching paths of a graph $G=(V,E)$ that spell the same string as the given pattern $P[1..m]$. This basic problem can be found at the heart of more complex operations on variation…
We show that for various classes C of sparse graphs, and several measures of distance to such classes (such as edit distance and elimination distance), the problem of determining the distance of a given graph G to C is fixed-parameter…
Call a simple graph $H$ of order $n$ well-separable, if by deleting a separator set of size $o(n)$ the leftover will have components of size at most $o(n)$. We prove, that bounded degree well-separable spanning subgraphs are easy to embed:…
We consider the problem of inferring an edge-labeled graph from the sequence of edge labels seen in a walk of that graph. It has been known that this problem is solvable in $O(n \log n)$ time when the targets are path or cycle graphs. This…
Canonical orderings serve as the basis for many incremental planar drawing algorithms. All these techniques, however, have in common that they are limited to undirected graphs. While $st$-orderings do extend to directed graphs, especially…
With the ubiquity of large-scale graph data in a variety of application domains, querying them effectively is a challenge. In particular, reachability queries are becoming increasingly important, especially for containment, subsumption, and…
The optimization version of the Unique Label Cover problem is at the heart of the Unique Games Conjecture which has played an important role in the proof of several tight inapproximability results. In recent years, this problem has been…
Labeling schemes seek to assign a short label to each node in a network, so that a function on two nodes can be computed by examining their labels alone. For the particular case of trees, optimal bounds (up to low order terms) were recently…
Given finitely many connected polygonal obstacles $O_1,\dots,O_k$ in the plane and a set $P$ of points in general position and not in any obstacle, the {\em visibility graph} of $P$ with obstacles $O_1,\dots,O_k$ is the (geometric) graph…
We study the question of ``how robust are the known lower bounds of labeling schemes when one increases the number of consulted labels''. Let $f$ be a function on pairs of vertices. An $f$-labeling scheme for a family of graphs $\cF$ labels…
