This paper revisits the classical Edge Disjoint Paths (EDP) problem, where one is given an undirected graph $G$ and a set of terminal pairs $P$ and asks whether $G$ contains a set of pairwise edge-disjoint paths connecting every terminal…
We study the NP-hard Shortest Path Most Vital Edges problem arising in the context of analyzing network robustness. For an undirected graph with positive integer edge lengths and two designated vertices $s$ and $t$, the goal is to delete as…
Interactions between two entities often occur at specific timestamps, which can be modeled as a temporal graph. Exploring the relationships between vertices based on temporal paths is one of the fundamental tasks. In this paper, we conduct…
Knowledge Graphs (KG) allow to merge and connect heterogeneous data despite their differences; they are incomplete by design. Yet, KG data producers need to ensure the best level of completeness, as far as possible. The difficulty is that…
In this paper, we present a new randomized $O(1)$-approximation algorithm for the All-Pairs Shortest Paths (APSP) problem in weighted undirected graphs that runs in just $O(\log \log \log n)$ rounds in the Congested-Clique model. Before our…
This paper proposes a novel approach for efficiently evaluating regular path queries over provenance graphs of workflows that may include recursion. The approach assumes that an execution g of a workflow G is labeled with query-agnostic…
Let $G=(V,E)$ be a graph. An ordering of $G$ is a bijection $\alpha: V\dom \{1,2,..., |V|\}.$ For a vertex $v$ in $G$, its closed neighborhood is $N[v]=\{u\in V: uv\in E\}\cup \{v\}.$ The profile of an ordering $\alpha$ of $G$ is…
Consider two entities with constant but not necessarily equal velocities, moving on two given piece-wise linear trajectories inside a simple polygon $P$. The Trajectory Range Visibility problem deals with determining the sub-trajectories on…
In this paper, we revisit the problem of sampling edges in an unknown graph $G = (V, E)$ from a distribution that is (pointwise) almost uniform over $E$. We consider the case where there is some a priori upper bound on the arboriciy of $G$.…
A set $S$ of isometric paths of a graph $G$ is ``$v$-rooted'', where $v$ is a vertex of $G$, if $v$ is one of the endpoints of all the isometric paths in $S$. The isometric path complexity of a graph $G$, denoted by $ipco{G}$, is the…
Graphs have been widely used in real-world applications, in which investigating relations between vertices is an important task. In this paper, we study the problem of generating the k-hop-constrained s-t simple path graph, i.e., the…
Identifying the connected components of a graph, apart from being a fundamental problem with countless applications, is a key primitive for many other algorithms. In this paper, we consider this problem in parallel settings. Particularly,…
Let $G$ be a directed graph with $n$ vertices, $m$ edges, and non-negative edge costs. Given $G$, a fixed source vertex $s$, and a positive integer $p$, we consider the problem of computing, for each vertex $t\neq s$, $p$ edge-disjoint…
Given a graph, the shortest-path problem requires finding a sequence of edges with minimum cumulative length that connects a source vertex to a target vertex. We consider a variant of this classical problem in which the position of each…
Understanding the decisions of tree-based ensembles and their relationships is pivotal for machine learning model interpretation. Recent attempts to mitigate the human-in-the-loop interpretation challenge have explored the extraction of the…
We show that the quantum query complexity of detecting if an $n$-vertex graph contains a triangle is $O(n^{9/7})$. This improves the previous best algorithm of Belovs making $O(n^{35/27})$ queries. For the problem of determining if an…
Given an undirected graph $G$ and a multiset of $k$ terminal pairs $\mathcal{X}$, the Vertex-Disjoint Paths (\VDP) and Edge-Disjoint Paths (\EDP) problems ask whether $G$ has $k$ pairwise internally vertex-disjoint paths and $k$ pairwise…
Given a tree and a set ${\cal P}$ of non-trivial simple paths on it, $VPT({\cal P})$ is the VPT graph (i.e. the vertex intersection graph) of the paths ${\cal P}$ of the tree $T$, and $EPT({\cal P})$ is the EPT graph (i.e. the edge…
The purpose of this report is to explain how the textbook breadth-first search algorithm (BFS) can be modified in order to also create a compact representation of all shortest paths connecting a single source node to all the nodes reachable…
We study the SHORTEST PATH problem with positive disjunctive constraints from the perspective of parameterized complexity. For positive disjunctive constraints, there are certain pair of edges such that any feasible solution must contain at…
