In this paper we present an algorithmic framework for solving a class of combinatorial optimization problems on graphs with bounded pathwidth. The problems are NP-hard in general, but solvable in linear time on this type of graphs. The…
For the first time proposed: a method for representing the projections of a graph in computer memory and a description based on it of a quick search for shortest paths in unweighted dynamic graphs. The spatial complexity of the projection…
Reachability questions are one of the most fundamental algorithmic primitives in temporal graphs -- graphs whose edge set changes over discrete time steps. A core problem here is the NP-hard Short Restless Temporal Path: given a temporal…
Consider the following distance query for an $n$-node graph $G$ undergoing edge insertions and deletions: given two sets of nodes $I$ and $J$, return the distances between every pair of nodes in $I\times J$. This query is rather general and…
Most transportation networks are inherently temporal: Connections (e.g. flights, train runs) are only available at certain, scheduled times. When transporting passengers or commodities, this fact must be considered for the the planning of…
We study the reverse shortest path problem on disk graphs in the plane. In this problem we consider the proximity graph of a set of $n$ disks in the plane of arbitrary radii: In this graph two disks are connected if the distance between…
The Constraint Shortest Path (CSP) problem is as follows. An $n$-vertex graph is given, each edge/arc assigned two weights. Let us call them "cost" and "length" for definiteness. Finding a min-cost upper-bounded length path between a given…
We consider the problem of partitioning the set of vertices of a given unit disk graph (UDG) into a minimum number of cliques. The problem is NP-hard and various constant factor approximations are known, with the current best ratio of 3.…
The purpose of this work is to introduce and characterize the Bounded Acceleration Shortest Path (BASP) problem, a generalization of the Shortest Path (SP) problem. This problem is associated to a graph: the nodes represent positions of a…
The shortest path problem in graphs is a cornerstone of AI theory and applications. Existing algorithms generally ignore edge weight computation time. We present a generalized framework for weighted directed graphs, where edge weight can be…
The problem of learning a directed acyclic graph (DAG) up to Markov equivalence is equivalent to the problem of finding a permutation of the variables that induces the sparsest graph. Without additional assumptions, this task is known to be…
Given a set P of n points in the plane, the unit-disk graph G_{r}(P) with respect to a parameter r is an undirected graph whose vertex set is P such that an edge connects two points p, q \in P if the Euclidean distance between p and q is at…
The MEG (minimum equivalent graph) problem is, given a directed graph, to find a small subset of the edges that maintains all reachability relations between nodes. The problem is NP-hard. This paper gives an approximation algorithm with…
We study the problem of computing a minimum equivalent digraph (also known as the problem of computing a strong transitive reduction) and its maximum objective function variant, with two types of extensions. First, we allow to declare a set…
The paper revisits the robust $s$-$t$ path problem, one of the most fundamental problems in robust optimization. In the problem, we are given a directed graph with $n$ vertices and $k$ distinct cost functions (scenarios) defined over edges,…
DAG (directed acyclic graph) tasks are widely used to model parallel real-time workload. The real-time performance of a DAG task not only depends on its total workload, but also its graph structure. Intuitively, with the same total…
We prove that every digraph of circumference $l$ has DAG-width at most $l$ and this is best possible. As a consequence of our result we deduce that the $k$-linkage problem is polynomially solvable for every fixed $k$ in the class of…
We study the problem of scheduling an arbitrary computational DAG on a fixed number of processors while minimizing the makespan. While previous works have mostly studied this problem in fairly restricted models, we define and analyze DAG…
In the Disjoint Shortest Paths problem one is given a graph $G$ and a set $\mathcal{T}=\{(s_1,t_1),\dots,(s_k,t_k)\}$ of $k$ vertex pairs. The question is whether there exist vertex-disjoint paths $P_1,\dots,P_k$ in $G$ so that each $P_i$…
A temporal graph $\mathcal{G}=(G,\lambda)$ can be represented by an underlying graph $G=(V,E)$ together with a function $\lambda$ that assigns to each edge $e\in E$ the set of time steps during which $e$ is present. The reachability graph…
