Let $\Lambda(T)$ denote the set of leaves in a tree $T$. One natural problem is to look for a spanning tree $T$ of a given graph $G$ such that $\Lambda(T)$ is as large as possible. This problem is called maximum leaf number, and it is a…
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…
It is well known that individuals can route messages on short paths through social networks, given only simple information about the target and using only local knowledge about the topology. Sociologists conjecture that people find routes…
We consider an optimization problem posed by an actual newspaper company, which consists of computing a minimum length route for a delivery truck, such that the driver only stops at street crossings, each time delivering copies to all…
The current best practice for computing optimal transport (OT) is via entropy regularization and Sinkhorn iterations. This algorithm runs in quadratic time as it requires the full pairwise cost matrix, which is prohibitively expensive for…
Majority of the existing graph neural networks (GNN) learn node embeddings that encode their local neighborhoods but not their positions. Consequently, two nodes that are vastly distant but located in similar local neighborhoods map to…
In this paper we propose a distributed algorithm for the estimation and control of the connectivity of ad-hoc networks in the presence of a random topology. First, given a generic random graph, we introduce a novel stochastic power…
Large real-world networks typically follow a power-law degree distribution. To study such networks, numerous random graph models have been proposed. However, real-world networks are not drawn at random. Therefore, Brach, Cygan, {\L}acki,…
We live in a world increasingly dominated by networks -- communications, social, information, biological etc. A central attribute of many of these networks is that they are dynamic, that is, they exhibit structural changes over time. While…
Complex networks have become increasingly popular for modeling various real-world phenomena. Realistic generative network models are important in this context as they avoid privacy concerns of real data and simplify complex network research…
We provide universally-optimal distributed graph algorithms for $(1+\varepsilon)$-approximate shortest path problems including shortest-path-tree and transshipment. The universal optimality of our algorithms guarantees that, on any $n$-node…
Analytic solution for the average path length in a large class of random graphs is found. We apply the approach to classical random graphs of Erd\"{o}s and R\'{e}nyi (ER) and to scale-free networks of Barab\'{a}si and Albert (BA). In both…
Random network models play a prominent role in modeling, analyzing and understanding complex phenomena on real-life networks. However, a key property of networks is often neglected: many real-world networks exhibit spatial structure, the…
Following [21, 23], the present work investigates a new relative entropy-regularized algorithm for solving the optimal transport on a graph problem within the randomized shortest paths formalism. More precisely, a unit flow is injected into…
Clustering a graph means identifying internally dense subgraphs which are only sparsely interconnected. Formalizations of this notion lead to measures that quantify the quality of a clustering and to algorithms that actually find…
We consider the traffic assignment problem in nonatomic routing games where the players' cost functions may be subject to random fluctuations (e.g., weather disturbances, perturbations in the underlying network, etc.). We tackle this…
We introduce hierarchical neighbor graphs, a new architecture for connecting ad hoc wireless nodes distributed in a plane. The structure has the flavor of hierarchical clustering and requires only local knowledge and minimal computation at…
How efficiently can we find an unknown graph using distance or shortest path queries between its vertices? Let $G = (V,E)$ be an unweighted, connected graph of bounded degree. The edge set $E$ is initially unknown, and the graph can be…
A (Euclidean) greedy drawing of a graph is a drawing in which, for any two vertices $s,t$ ($s \neq t$), there is a neighbor vertex of $s$ that is closer to $t$ than to $s$ in the Euclidean distance. Greedy drawings are important in the…
Graphs with bounded highway dimension were introduced by Abraham et al. [SODA 2010] as a model of transportation networks. We show that any such graph can be embedded into a distribution over bounded treewidth graphs with arbitrarily small…
