One of the most important and well-studied settings for network design is edge-connectivity requirements. This encompasses uniform demands such as the Minimum $k$-Edge-Connected Spanning Subgraph problem ($k$-ECSS), as well as nonuniform…
We study weighted edge coloring of graphs, where we are given an undirected edge-weighted general multi-graph $G := (V, E)$ with weights $w : E \rightarrow [0, 1]$. The goal is to find a proper weighted coloring of the edges with as few…
A graph with $n$ vertices is an $f(\cdot)$-dense graph if it has at least $f(n)$ edges, $f(\cdot)$ being a well-defined function. The notion $f(\cdot)$-dense graph encompasses various clique models like $\gamma$-quasi cliques, $k$-defective…
We consider the problem of finding a large clique in an Erd\H{o}s--R\'enyi random graph where we are allowed unbounded computational time but can only query a limited number of edges. Recall that the largest clique in $G \sim G(n,1/2)$ has…
Finding dense bipartite subgraphs and detecting the relations among them is an important problem for affiliation networks that arise in a range of domains, such as social network analysis, word-document clustering, the science of science,…
Signed networks contain edge annotations to indicate whether each interaction is friendly (positive edge) or antagonistic (negative edge). The model is simple but powerful and it can capture novel and interesting structural properties of…
The detection of community structure is probably one of the hottest trends in complex network research as it reveals the internal organization of people, molecules or processes behind social, biological or computer networks\dots The issue…
Motivated by applications to social network analysis (SNA), we study the problem of finding the maximum number of disjoint uni-color paths in an edge-colored graph. We show the NP-hardness and the approximability of the problem, and both…
Recent years have witnessed an unprecedented proliferation of social media. People around the globe author, every day, millions of blog posts, social network status updates, etc. This rich stream of information can be used to identify, on…
In this manuscript, we consider the problems of channel assignment in wireless networks and data migration in heterogeneous storage systems. We show that a soft edge coloring approach to both problems gives rigorous approximation…
All Colors Shortest Path problem defined on an undirected graph aims at finding a shortest, possibly non-simple, path where every color occurs at least once, assuming that each vertex in the graph is associated with a color known in…
We study $\tau$-Bounded-Density Edge Deletion ($\tau$-BDED), where given an undirected graph $G$, the task is to remove as few edges as possible to obtain a graph $G'$ where no subgraph of $G'$ has density more than $\tau$. The density of a…
We introduce the problem of finding a spanning tree along with a partition of the tree edges into fewest number of feasible sets, where constraints on the edges define feasibility. The motivation comes from wireless networking, where we…
A canonical problem in graph mining is the detection of dense communities. This problem is exacerbated for a graph with a large order and size -- the number of vertices and edges -- as many community detection algorithms scale poorly. In…
The $H$-Coloring problem is a well-known generalization of the classical NP-complete problem $k$-Coloring where the task is to determine whether an input graph admits a homomorphism to the template graph $H$. This problem has been the…
Network embedding, which aims to learn low-dimensional representations of nodes, has been used for various graph related tasks including visualization, link prediction and node classification. Most existing embedding methods rely solely on…
