We investigate the problem of sequentially predicting the binary labels on the nodes of an arbitrary weighted graph. We show that, under a suitable parametrization of the problem, the optimal number of prediction mistakes can be…

An archetypal problem discussed in computer science is the problem of searching for a given number in a given set of numbers. Other than sequential search, the classic solution is to sort the list of numbers and then apply binary search.…

Query evaluation over probabilistic databases is known to be intractable in many cases, even in data complexity, i.e., when the query is fixed. Although some restrictions of the queries [19] and instances [4] have been proposed to lower the…

The complexity of a graph can be obtained as a derivative of a variation of the zeta function or a partial derivative of its generalized characteristic polynomial evaluated at a point [\textit{J. Combin. Theory Ser. B}, 74 (1998), pp.…

Dynamic programming on various graph decompositions is one of the most fundamental techniques used in parameterized complexity. Unfortunately, even if we consider concepts as simple as path or tree decompositions, such dynamic programming…

In the graph clustering problem with a planted solution, the input is a graph on $n$ vertices partitioned into $k$ clusters, and the task is to infer the clusters from graph structure. A standard assumption is that clusters induce…

In this work, we study the problem of computing a maximum common contraction of two vertex-labeled graphs, i.e. how to make them identical by contracting as little edges as possible in the two graphs. We study the problem from a…

A distance labeling scheme is an assignments of labels, that is binary strings, to all nodes of a graph, so that the distance between any two nodes can be computed from their labels and the labels are as short as possible. A major open…

We provide a new constant factor approximation algorithm for the (connected) distance-$r$ dominating set problem on graph classes of bounded expansion. Classes of bounded expansion include many familiar classes of sparse graphs such as…

The locality of a graph problem is the smallest distance $T$ such that each node can choose its own part of the solution based on its radius-$T$ neighborhood. In many settings, a graph problem can be solved efficiently with a distributed or…

An identifying code of a graph is a dominating set which uniquely determines all the vertices by their neighborhood within the code. Whereas graphs with large minimum degree have small domination number, this is not the case for the…

The notion of bounded expansion captures uniform sparsity of graph classes and renders various algorithmic problems that are hard in general tractable. In particular, the model-checking problem for first-order logic is fixed-parameter…

One of the most basic techniques in algorithm design consists of breaking a problem into subproblems and then proceeding recursively. In the case of graph algorithms, one way to implement this approach is through separator sets. Given a…
