We report progress on the \NL vs \UL problem. [-] We show unconditionally that the complexity class $\ReachFewL\subseteq\UL$. This improves on the earlier known upper bound $\ReachFewL \subseteq \FewL$. [-] We investigate the complexity of…
Interval graphs, intersection graphs of segments on a real line (intervals), play a key role in the study of algorithms and special structural properties. Unit interval graphs, their proper subclass, where each interval has a unit length,…
We study the design of small cost temporally connected graphs, under various constraints. We mainly consider undirected graphs of $n$ vertices, where each edge has an associated set of discrete availability instances (labels). A journey…
Proximity graph-based methods have emerged as a leading paradigm for approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) search in the system community. This paper presents fresh insights into the theoretical foundation of these methods. We describe an…
We improve the worst-case information theoretic lower bound of Munro and Wu (ISAAC 2018) for $n-$vertex unlabeled chordal graphs when vertex leafage is bounded and leafage is unbounded. The class of unlabeled $k-$vertex leafage chordal…
Efficient use of a wireless network requires that transmissions be grouped into feasible sets, where feasibility means that each transmission can be successfully decoded in spite of the interference caused by simultaneous transmissions.…
The graph exploration problem is to visit all the nodes of a connected graph by a mobile entity, e.g., a robot. The robot has no a priori knowledge of the topology of the graph or of its size. Cohen et al. \cite{Ilcinkas08} introduced label…
We provide a compact data structure for representing polyominoes that supports neighborhood and visibility queries. Neighborhood queries concern reporting adjacent cells to a given cell, and visibility queries determine whether a straight…
Temporal graphs represent interactions between entities over the time. These interactions may be direct (a contact between two nodes at some time instant), or indirect, through sequences of contacts called temporal paths (journeys).…
Temporal graphs arise when modeling interactions that evolve over time. They usually come in several flavors, depending on the number of parameters used to describe the temporal aspects of the interactions: time of appearance, duration,…
The von Neumann graph entropy is a measure of graph complexity based on the Laplacian spectrum. It has recently found applications in various learning tasks driven by networked data. However, it is computational demanding and hard to…
For the first time we provide a succinct pattern matching index for arbitrary graphs that can be built in polynomial time, which requires less space and answers queries more efficiently than the one in [SODA 2021]. We show that, given an…
Given an $n$-bit array $A$, the succinct rank data structure problem asks to construct a data structure using space $n+r$ bits for $r\ll n$, supporting rank queries of form $\mathtt{rank}(x)=\sum_{i=0}^{x-1} A[i]$. In this paper, we design…
In a temporal graph the edge set dynamically changes over time according to a set of time-labels associated with each edge that indicates at which time-steps the edge is available. Two vertices are connected if there is a path connecting…
To what extent is it possible to visualize high-dimensional data in two- or three-dimensional plots? We reframe this question in terms of embedding $n$-vertex graphs (representing the neighborhood structure of the input points) into metric…
Certain methods of analysis require the knowledge of the spatial distances between entities whose data are stored in a microdata table. For instance, such knowledge is necessary and sufficient to perform data mining tasks such as nearest…
A dictionary data structure maintains a set of at most $n$ keys from the universe $[U]$ under key insertions and deletions, such that given a query $x \in [U]$, it returns if $x$ is in the set. Some variants also store values associated to…
In this paper, we study the static cell probe complexity of non-adaptive data structures that maintain a subset of $n$ points from a universe consisting of $m=n^{1+\Omega(1)}$ points. A data structure is defined to be non-adaptive when the…
This paper is devoted to advancing the theoretical understanding of the iterated immediate snapshot (IIS) complexity of the Weak Symmetry Breaking task (WSB). Our rather unexpected main theorem states that there exist infinitely many values…
We consider the problem of realizable interval-sequences. An interval sequence comprises of $n$ integer intervals $[a_i,b_i]$ such that $0\leq a_i \leq b_i \leq n-1$, and is said to be graphic/realizable if there exists a graph with degree…
