Recently, many studies have been devoted to finding diverse solutions in classical combinatorial problems, such as Vertex Cover (Baste et al., IJCAI'20), Matching (Fomin et al., ISAAC'20) and Spanning Tree (Hanaka et al., AAAI'21). We…
Time-evolving large graph has received attention due to their participation in real-world applications such as social networks and PageRank calculation. It is necessary to partition a large-scale dynamic graph in a streaming manner to…
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…
In this paper, we consider a transformation of $k$ disjoint paths in a graph. For a graph and a pair of $k$ disjoint paths $\mathcal{P}$ and $\mathcal{Q}$ connecting the same set of terminal pairs, we aim to determine whether $\mathcal{P}$…
Given an undirected graph, the $k$-core is a subgraph in which each node has at least $k$ connections. This is widely used in graph analytics to identify core subgraphs within a larger graph. The sequential $k$-core decomposition algorithm…
More and more large data collections are gathered worldwide in various IT systems. Many of them possess the networked nature and need to be processed and analysed as graph structures. Due to their size they require very often usage of…
In the Directed Disjoint Paths problem, we are given a digraph $D$ and a set of requests $\{(s_1, t_1), \ldots, (s_k, t_k)\}$, and the task is to find a collection of pairwise vertex-disjoint paths $\{P_1, \ldots, P_k\}$ such that each…
Given $k$ pairs of vertices $(s_i,t_i)\;(1\le i\le k)$ of a digraph $G$, how can we test whether there exist vertex-disjoint directed paths from $s_i$ to $t_i$ for $1\le i\le k$? This is NP-complete in general digraphs, even for $k = 2$,…
Partitioning graphs into blocks of roughly equal size such that few edges run between blocks is a frequently needed operation in processing graphs. Recently, size, variety, and structural complexity of these networks has grown dramatically.…
We study the version of the $k$-disjoint paths problem where $k$ demand pairs $(s_1,t_1)$, $\dots$, $(s_k,t_k)$ are specified in the input and the paths in the solution are allowed to intersect, but such that no vertex is on more than $c$…
Given $k$ pairs of terminals $\{(s_{1}, t_{1}), \ldots, (s_{k}, t_{k})\}$ in a graph $G$, the min-sum $k$ vertex-disjoint paths problem is to find a collection $\{Q_{1}, Q_{2}, \ldots, Q_{k}\}$ of vertex-disjoint paths with minimum total…

We introduce a new subclass of chordal graphs that generalizes split graphs, which we call well-partitioned chordal graphs. Split graphs are graphs that admit a partition of the vertex set into cliques that can be arranged in a star…
The $k$-vertex disjoint paths problem is one of the most studied problems in algorithmic graph theory. In 1994, Schrijver proved that the problem can be solved in polynomial time for every fixed $k$ when restricted to the class of planar…
Motivated by the increasing need for fast processing of large-scale graphs, we study a number of fundamental graph problems in a message-passing model for distributed computing, called $k$-machine model, where we have $k$ machines that…
Balanced partitioning is often a crucial first step in solving large-scale graph optimization problems, e.g., in some cases, a big graph can be chopped into pieces that fit on one machine to be processed independently before stitching the…
We present an algorithm for the k shortest simple path problem on weighted directed graphs (kSSP) that is based on Eppstein's algorithm for a similar problem in which paths are allowed to contain cycles. In contrast to most other algorithms…
Given a graph G and k pairs of vertices (s_1,t_1), ..., (s_k,t_k), the k-Vertex-Disjoint Paths problem asks for pairwise vertex-disjoint paths P_1, ..., P_k such that P_i goes from s_i to t_i. Schrijver [SICOMP'94] proved that the…
