Temporal graphs are graphs where the topology and/or other properties of the graph change with time. They have been used to model applications with temporal information in various domains. Problems on static graphs become more challenging…
A balanced partition is a clustering of a graph into a given number of equal-sized parts. For instance, the Bisection problem asks to remove at most k edges in order to partition the vertices into two equal-sized parts. We prove that…

Finding a good clustering of vertices in a network, where vertices in the same cluster are more tightly connected than those in different clusters, is a useful, important, and well-studied task. Many clustering algorithms scale well,…
Clustering is a widely used unsupervised learning method for finding structure in the data. However, the resulting clusters are typically presented without any guarantees on their robustness; slightly changing the used data sample or…
We study a generalization of the classic Spanning Tree problem that allows for a non-uniform failure model. More precisely, edges are either \emph{safe} or \emph{unsafe} and we assume that failures only affect unsafe edges. In Unweighted…
An edge cover of a graph is a set of edges such that every vertex has at least an adjacent edge in it. Previously, approximation algorithm for counting edge covers is only known for 3 regular graphs and it is randomized. We design a very…
A matching cut of a graph is a partition of its vertex set in two such that no vertex has more than one neighbor across the cut. The Matching Cut problem asks if a graph has a matching cut. This problem, and its generalization d-cut, has…
