We propose an algorithm based on Newton's method and subdivision for finding all zeros of a polynomial system in a bounded region of the plane. This algorithm can be used to find the intersections between a line and a surface, which has…
Complex systems frequently exhibit multi-way, rather than pairwise, interactions. These group interactions cannot be faithfully modeled as collections of pairwise interactions using graphs and instead require hypergraphs. However, methods…
A graph is chordal if every cycle of length at least four contains a chord, that is, an edge connecting two nonconsecutive vertices of the cycle. Several classical applications in sparse linear systems, database management, computer vision,…
Due to data compression or low resolution, nearby vertices and edges of a graph drawing may be bundled to a common node or arc. We model such a `compromised' drawing by a piecewise linear map $\varphi:G\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^2$. We wish to…
We study the minimum weight basis problem on matroid when elements' weights are uncertain. For each element we only know a set of possible values (an uncertainty area) that contains its real weight. In some cases there exist bases that are…
A problem that arises in drawings of transportation networks is to minimize the number of crossings between different transportation lines. While this can be done efficiently under specific constraints, not all solutions are visually…
The minimum dominating set problem asks for a dominating set with minimum size. First, we determine some vertices contained in the minimum dominating set of a graph. By applying a particular scheme, we ensure that the resulting graph is…
We show how to exploit symmetries of a graph to efficiently compute the fastest mixing Markov chain on the graph (i.e., find the transition probabilities on the edges to minimize the second-largest eigenvalue modulus of the transition…
The state-of-the-art modern pose-graph optimization (PGO) systems are vertex based. In this context the number of variables might be high, albeit the number of cycles in the graph (loop closures) is relatively low. For sparse problems…
We study the problem of connecting the parts of a multipartite graph using a minimum number of edges under a matching constraint. We introduce interconnection trees, defined as matchings whose projections onto the quotient graph form a…
A matching cut in a graph G is an edge cut of G that is also a matching. This short survey gives an overview of old and new results and open problems for Maximum Matching Cut, which is to determine the size of a largest matching cut in a…
Finding a maximum cardinality common independent set in two matroids (also known as \textsc{Matroid Intersection}) is a classical combinatorial optimization problem, which generalizes several well-known problems, such as finding a maximum…
Unit disk graphs are intersection graphs of circles of unit radius in the plane. We present simple and provably good heuristics for a number of classical NP-hard optimization problems on unit disk graphs. The problems considered include…
Motivated by an old question of Gallai (1966) on the intersection of longest paths in a graph and the well-known conjectures of Lov\'{a}sz (1969) and Thomassen (1978) on the maximum length of paths and cycles in vertex-transitive graphs, we…
Given a pair of graphs with the same number of vertices, the inexact graph matching problem consists in finding a correspondence between the vertices of these graphs that minimizes the total number of induced edge disagreements. We study…
Given two matroids $\mathcal{M}_{1} = (E, \mathcal{B}_{1})$ and $\mathcal{M}_{2} = (E, \mathcal{B}_{2})$ on a common ground set $E$ with base sets $\mathcal{B}_{1}$ and $\mathcal{B}_{2}$, some integer $k \in \mathbb{N}$, and two cost…
We initiate the algorithmic study of retracting a graph into a cycle in the graph, which seeks a mapping of the graph vertices to the cycle vertices, so as to minimize the maximum stretch of any edge, subject to the constraint that the…
Shortest paths play an important role in mathematical modeling and image processing. Usually, shortest path problems are formulated on planar graphs that consist of vertices and weighted arcs. In this context, one is interested in finding a…
Although there are very algorithms for embedding graphs on unbounded grids, only few results on embedding or drawing graphs on restricted grids has been published. In this work, we consider the problem of embedding paths and cycles on grid…
We study the parameterized complexity of interdiction problems in graphs. For an optimization problem on graphs, one can formulate an interdiction problem as a game consisting of two players, namely, an interdictor and an evader, who…
