We consider the Minimum-$(k,\rho)$-$\mathrm{Shortcut}$ problem ($\min(k,\rho)\text{-}\mathrm{Shortcut}$), where the goal is to find the smallest set of shortcut edges such that every vertex in a given graph can reach its $\rho$ closest…
We study the problem of finding a small sparse cut in an undirected graph. Given an undirected graph G=(V,E) and a parameter k <= |E|, the small sparsest cut problem is to find a subset of vertices S with minimum conductance among all sets…
Consider the following "local" cut-detection problem in a directed graph: We are given a seed vertex $x$ and need to remove at most $k$ edges so that at most $\nu$ edges can be reached from $x$ (a "local" cut) or output $\bot$ to indicate…

A connected partition is a partition of the vertices of a graph into sets that induce connected subgraphs. Such partitions naturally occur in many application areas such as road networks, and image processing. We consider Balanced Connected…
We consider the Hypergraph-$k$-cut problem. The input consists of a hypergraph $G=(V,E)$ with non-negative hyperedge-costs $c: E\rightarrow R_+$ and a positive integer $k$. The objective is to find a least-cost subset $F\subseteq E$ such…
Graph partitioning aims to divide a graph into disjoint subsets while optimizing a specific partitioning objective. The majority of formulations related to graph partitioning exhibit NP-hardness due to their combinatorial nature.…

We consider the minimum-cut partitioning of a graph into more than two parts using spectral methods. While there exist well-established spectral algorithms for this problem that give good results, they have traditionally not been well…
In the Min $k$-Cut problem, input is an edge weighted graph $G$ and an integer $k$, and the task is to partition the vertex set into $k$ non-empty sets, such that the total weight of the edges with endpoints in different parts is minimized.…
The \emph{maximal $k$-edge-connected subgraphs} problem is a classical graph clustering problem studied since the 70's. Surprisingly, no non-trivial technique for this problem in weighted graphs is known: a very straightforward…
