Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple graph with $|V|=n$ nodes and $|E|=m$ links, a subset $K \subseteq V$ of \emph{terminals}, a vector $p=(p_1,\ldots,p_m) \in [0,1]^m$ and a positive integer $d$, called \emph{diameter}. We assume nodes are perfect…
Geometric modeling by constraints leads to large systems of algebraic equations. This paper studies bipartite graphs underlaid by systems of equations. It shows how these graphs make possible to polynomially decompose these systems into…
We propose an efficient linear-time graph-based divisive cluster analysis approach called Reductive Clustering. The approach tries to reveal the hierarchical structural information through reducing the graph into a more concise one…
We consider the Steiner tree problem in quasi-bipartite graphs, where no two Steiner vertices are connected by an edge. For this class of instances, we present an efficient algorithm to exactly solve the so called directed component…
In this work, we study methodical decomposition of an undirected, unweighted complete graph ($K_n$ of order $n$, size $m$) into minimum number of edge-disjoint trees. We find that $x$, a positive integer, is minimum and…
Cluster deletion is an NP-hard graph clustering objective with applications in computational biology and social network analysis, where the goal is to delete a minimum number of edges to partition a graph into cliques. We first provide a…
In this paper we study graphs which admit acyclic orientations that contain a pair of arc-disjoint out-branching and in-branching (such an orientation is called good) and we focus on edge-minimal such graphs. A 2T-graph is a graph whose…
We present a constraint model for the problem of producing a tree decomposition of a graph. The inputs to the model are a simple graph G, the number of nodes in the desired tree decomposition and the maximum cardinality of each node in that…
Enumeration algorithms have been one of recent hot topics in theoretical computer science. Different from other problems, enumeration has many interesting aspects, such as the computation time can be shorter than the total output size, by…
The CP tensor decomposition is a low-rank approximation of a tensor. We present a distributed-memory parallel algorithm and implementation of an alternating optimization method for computing a CP decomposition of dense tensor data that can…
A $3$-connected graph is minimally 3-connected if removal of any edge destroys 3-connectivity. We present an algorithm for constructing minimally 3-connected graphs based on the results in (Dawes, JCTB 40, 159-168, 1986) using two…
Contention resolution schemes (or CR schemes), introduced by Chekuri, Vondrak and Zenklusen, are a class of randomized rounding algorithms for converting a fractional solution to a relaxation for a down-closed constraint family into an…
The minimum cut problem for an undirected edge-weighted graph asks us to divide its set of nodes into two blocks while minimizing the weight sum of the cut edges. Here, we introduce a linear-time algorithm to compute near-minimum cuts. Our…
A strongly connected graph is strongly biconnected if after ignoring the direction of its edges we have an undirected graph with no articulation points. A 3-vertex strongly biconnected graph is a strongly biconnected digraph that has the…
In this paper, we investigate the computational complexity of subgraph reconfiguration problems in directed graphs. More specifically, we focus on the problem of reconfiguring arborescences in a digraph, where an arborescence is a directed…

Galinier, Habib, and Paul introduced the reduced clique graph of a chordal graph $G$. The nodes of the reduced clique graph are the maximal cliques of $G$, and two nodes are joined by an edge if and only if they form a non-disjoint…
Considering the worst-case scenario, junction tree algorithm remains the most general solution for exact MAP inference with polynomial run-time guarantees. Unfortunately, its main tractability assumption requires the treewidth of a…
We study the set of all decompositions (clusterings) of a graph through its characterization as a set of lifted multicuts. This leads us to practically relevant insights related to the definition of a class of decompositions by must-join…
