In this work, we consider compressible single-phase flow problems in a porous media containing a fracture. In the latter, a non-linear pressure-velocity relation is prescribed. Using a non-overlapping domain decomposition procedure, we…
We consider the problem of multicommodity flows in outerplanar graphs. Okamura and Seymour showed that the cut-condition is sufficient for routing demands in outerplanar graphs. We consider the unsplittable version of the problem and prove…
The construction of a cost minimal network for flows obeying physical laws is an important problem for the design of electricity, water, hydrogen, and natural gas infrastructures. We formulate this problem as a mixed-integer non-linear…
Unrolled networks have been widely used for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) reconstruction due to their efficiency. However, they typically exhibit unstable output quality across cascades, resulting in sub-optimal final reconstruction…
We study the minimization of ADMs (Add-Drop Multiplexers) in optical WDM bidirectional rings considering symmetric shortest path routing and all-to-all unitary requests. We precisely formulate the problem in terms of graph decompositions,…
We address the problem of soft color segmentation, defined as decomposing a given image into several RGBA layers, each containing only homogeneous color regions. The resulting layers from decomposition pave the way for applications that…
In this paper, we discuss the maximum flow problem in the two-party communication model, where two parties, each holding a subset of edges on a common vertex set, aim to compute the maximum flow of the union graph with minimal…
Given a graph with edge costs, the {\em power} of a node is themaximum cost of an edge incident to it, and the power of a graph is the sum of the powers of its nodes. Motivated by applications in wireless networks, we consider the following…
We introduce the notion of a network's conduciveness, a probabilistically interpretable measure of how the network's structure allows it to be conducive to roaming agents, in certain conditions, from one portion of the network to another.…
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…
One of the fundamental and most-studied algorithmic problems in distributed computing on networks is graph coloring, both in bounded-degree and in general graphs. Recently, the study of this problem has been extended in two directions.…
A strongly polynomial algorithm is developed for finding an integer-valued feasible $st$-flow of given flow-amount which is decreasingly minimal on a specified subset $F$ of edges in the sense that the largest flow-value on $F$ is as small…
We prove an approximate max-multiflow min-multicut theorem for bounded treewidth graphs. In particular, we show the following: Given a treewidth-$r$ graph, there exists a (fractional) multicommodity flow of value $f$, and a multicut of…
We investigate the time-complexity of the All-Pairs Max-Flow problem: Given a graph with $n$ nodes and $m$ edges, compute for all pairs of nodes the maximum-flow value between them. If Max-Flow (the version with a given source-sink pair…
A path in an(a) edge(vertex)-colored graph is called \emph{a conflict-free path} if there exists a color used on only one of its edges(vertices). An(A) edge(vertex)-colored graph is called \emph{conflict-free (vertex-)connected} if there is…
We present a method for solving the transshipment problem - also known as uncapacitated minimum cost flow - up to a multiplicative error of $1 + \varepsilon$ in undirected graphs with non-negative edge weights using a tailored gradient…
We consider the capacity problem for wireless networks. Networks are modeled as random unit-disk graphs, and the capacity problem is formulated as one of finding the maximum value of a multicommodity flow. In this paper, we develop a proof…
Given $n$ pairs of points, $\mathcal{S} = \{\{p_1, q_1\}, \{p_2, q_2\}, \dots, \{p_n, q_n\}\}$, in some metric space, we study the problem of two-coloring the points within each pair, red and blue, to optimize the cost of a pair of…
In the Survivable Network Design Problem (SNDP), the input is an edge-weighted (di)graph $G$ and an integer $r_{uv}$ for every pair of vertices $u,v\in V(G)$. The objective is to construct a subgraph $H$ of minimum weight which contains…
Let $D=(V(D), A(D))$ be a digraph of order $n$ and let $S\subseteq V(D)$ with $2\leq |S|\leq n$. A directed cycle $C$ of $D$ is called a directed $S$-Steiner cycle (or, an $S$-cycle for short) if $S\subseteq V(C)$. Steiner cycles have…
