Cutwidth of a digraph is a width measure introduced by Chudnovsky, Fradkin, and Seymour [4] in connection with development of a structural theory for tournaments, or more generally, for semi-complete digraphs. In this paper we provide an…
We study the computation of the diameter and radius under the rectilinear link distance within a rectilinear polygonal domain of $n$ vertices and $h$ holes. We introduce a \emph{graph of oriented distances} to encode the distance between…
We introduce a new algebraic sieving technique to detect constrained multilinear monomials in multivariate polynomial generating functions given by an evaluation oracle. As applications of the technique, we show an $O^*(2^k)$-time…
A directed graph is called Eulerian, if it contains a tour that traverses every arc in the graph exactly once. We study the problem of Eulerian extension (EE) where a directed multigraph G and a weight function is given and it is asked…
We show that the eccentricities (and thus the centrality indices) of all vertices of a $\delta$-hyperbolic graph $G=(V,E)$ can be computed in linear time with an additive one-sided error of at most $c\delta$, i.e., after a linear time…
We study the problem of detecting outlier pairs of strongly correlated variables among a collection of $n$ variables with otherwise weak pairwise correlations. After normalization, this task amounts to the geometric task where we are given…
We exhibit a randomized algorithm which given a matrix $A\in \mathbb{C}^{n\times n}$ with $\|A\|\le 1$ and $\delta>0$, computes with high probability an invertible $V$ and diagonal $D$ such that $\|A-VDV^{-1}\|\le \delta$ using…
A fault-tolerant distance labeling scheme assigns a label to each vertex and edge of an undirected weighted graph $G$ with $n$ vertices so that, for any edge set $F$ of size $|F| \leq f$, one can approximate the distance between $p$ and $q$…
We present faster algorithms for approximate maximum flow in undirected graphs with good separator structures, such as bounded genus, minor free, and geometric graphs. Given such a graph with $n$ vertices, $m$ edges along with a recursive…
Given in the plane a set $S$ of $n$ points and a set of disks centered at these points, the disk graph $G(S)$ induced by these disks has vertex set $S$ and an edge between two vertices if their disks intersect. Note that the disks may have…
Let $G$ be an edge-weighted directed graph with $n$ vertices embedded on an orientable surface of genus $g$. We describe a simple deterministic lexicographic perturbation scheme that guarantees uniqueness of minimum-cost flows and shortest…
Let $G$ be an $n$-vertex graph with $m$ edges. When asked a subset $S$ of vertices, a cut query on $G$ returns the number of edges of $G$ that have exactly one endpoint in $S$. We show that there is a bounded-error quantum algorithm that…
There is substantial literature dealing with fixed parameter algorithms for the dominating set problem on various families of graphs. In this paper, we give a $k^{O(dk)} n$ time algorithm for finding a dominating set of size at most $k$ in…
The directed graph reachability problem takes as input an $n$-vertex directed graph $G=(V,E)$, and two distinguished vertices $s$ and $t$. The problem is to determine whether there exists a path from $s$ to $t$ in $G$. This is a canonical…
We give an $O(n^{1.5} \log n)$ algorithm that, given a directed planar graph with arc capacities, a set of source nodes and a single sink node, finds a maximum flow from the sources to the sink . This is the first subquadratic-time strongly…
Orthogonal drawings, i.e., embeddings of graphs into grids, are a classic topic in Graph Drawing. Often the goal is to find a drawing that minimizes the number of bends on the edges. A key ingredient for bend minimization algorithms is the…
