Graph partition is a fundamental problem of parallel computing for big graph data. Many graph partition algorithms have been proposed to solve the problem in various applications, such as matrix computations and PageRank, etc., but none has…
Graph partitioning schedules parallel calculations like sparse matrix-vector multiply (SpMV). We consider contiguous partitions, where the $m$ rows (or columns) of a sparse matrix with $N$ nonzeros are split into $K$ parts without…
We study the {\em $k$-route} generalizations of various cut problems, the most general of which is \emph{$k$-route multicut} ($k$-MC) problem, wherein we have $r$ source-sink pairs and the goal is to delete a minimum-cost set of edges to…
The $k$-Steiner-2NCS problem is as follows: Given a constant $k$, and an undirected connected graph $G = (V,E)$, non-negative costs $c$ on $E$, and a partition $(T, V-T)$ of $V$ into a set of terminals, $T$, and a set of non-terminals (or,…
Finding a shortest path in a graph is one of the most classic problems in algorithmic and graph theory. While we dispose of quite efficient algorithms for this ordinary problem (like the Dijkstra or Bellman-Ford algorithms), some slight…
We study the problem of edge partitioning, where the goal is to partition the edge set of a graph into several parts. The replication factor of a vertex $v$ is the number of parts that contain edges incident to $v$. The goal is to minimize…
We consider the following "multiway cut packing" problem in undirected graphs: we are given a graph G=(V,E) and k commodities, each corresponding to a set of terminals located at different vertices in the graph; our goal is to produce a…
Given $k\ge 1$, a $k$-proper partition of a graph $G$ is a partition ${\mathcal P}$ of $V(G)$ such that each part $P$ of ${\mathcal P}$ induces a $k$-connected subgraph of $G$. We prove that if $G$ is a graph of order $n$ such that…
Identifying shortest paths between nodes in a network is a common graph analysis problem that is important for many applications involving routing of resources. An adversary that can manipulate the graph structure could alter traffic…
Given a graph where vertices are partitioned into $k$ terminals and non-terminals, the goal is to compress the graph (i.e., reduce the number of non-terminals) using minor operations while preserving terminal distances approximately.The…
In this paper, we show reduction methods for search algorithms on graphs using quantum walks. By using a graph partitioning method called equitable partition for the the given graph, we determine "effective subspace" for the search…
The Bandwidth Problem seeks for a simultaneous permutation of the rows and columns of the adjacency matrix of a graph such that all nonzero entries are as close as possible to the main diagonal. This work focuses on investigating novel…
Motivated by applications in graph drawing and information visualization, we examine the planar split thickness of a graph, that is, the smallest $k$ such that the graph is $k$-splittable into a planar graph. A $k$-split operation…
We consider the problem of partitioning the edges of a graph into as few paths as possible. This is a~subject of the classic conjecture of Gallai and a recurring topic in combinatorics. Regarding the complexity of partitioning a graph…
Distributed computing excels at processing large scale data, but the communication cost for synchronizing the shared parameters may slow down the overall performance. Fortunately, the interactions between parameter and data in many problems…
We consider the problem of partitioning a graph into a non-fixed number of non-overlapping subgraphs of maximum density. The density of a partition is the sum of the densities of the subgraphs, where the density of a subgraph is its average…
We consider the k-outconnected directed Steiner tree problem (k-DST). Given a directed edge-weighted graph $G=(V,E,w)$, where $V=\{r\}\cup S \cup T$, and an integer $k$, the goal is to find a minimum cost subgraph of $G$ in which there are…
Given an edge-weighted graph $G$ on $n$ nodes, the NP-hard Max-Cut problem asks for a node bipartition such that the sum of edge weights joining the different partitions is maximized. We propose a fixed-parameter tractable algorithm…

We introduce a temporal Steiner network problem in which a graph, as well as changes to its edges and/or vertices over a set of discrete times, are given as input; the goal is to find a minimal subgraph satisfying a set of $k$…
