Previous work has suggested that the structural restrictions of graphs from classes of bounded expansion--locally dense pockets in a globally sparse graph--naturally coincide with common properties of real-world networks such as clustering…
We give the first construction of explicit constant-degree lossless vertex expanders. Specifically, for any $\varepsilon > 0$ and sufficiently large $d$, we give an explicit construction of an infinite family of $d$-regular graphs where…
Distributed optimization algorithms are frequently faced with solving sub-problems on disjoint connected parts of a network. Unfortunately, the diameter of these parts can be significantly larger than the diameter of the underlying network,…
We show fixed-parameter tractability of the Directed Multicut problem with three terminal pairs (with a randomized algorithm). This problem, given a directed graph $G$, pairs of vertices (called terminals) $(s_1,t_1)$, $(s_2,t_2)$, and…
Distributed network optimization algorithms, such as minimum spanning tree, minimum cut, and shortest path, are an active research area in distributed computing. This paper presents a fast distributed algorithm for such problems in the…
The capacity of unifilar finite-state channels in the presence of feedback is investigated. We derive a new evaluation method to extract graph-based encoders with their achievable rates, and to compute upper bounds to examine their…
Given an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ with edge capacities $c_e\geq 1$ for $e\in E$ and a subset $T$ of $k$ vertices called terminals, we say that a graph $H$ is a quality-$q$ cut sparsifier for $G$ iff $T\subseteq V(H)$, and for any…
A paradigm that was successfully applied in the study of both pure and algorithmic problems in graph theory can be colloquially summarized as stating that "any graph is close to being the disjoint union of expanders". Our goal in this paper…
Convexification techniques have gained increasing interest over the past decades. In this work, we apply a recently developed convexification technique for fractional programs by He, Liu and Tawarmalani (2024) to the problem of determining…
Computing routing schemes that support both high throughput and low latency is one of the core challenges of network optimization. Such routes can be formalized as $h$-length flows which are defined as flows whose flow paths are restricted…
A recent paper by Abboud and Wallheimer [ITCS 2023] presents self-reductions for various fundamental graph problems, which transform worst-case instances to expanders, thus proving that the complexity remains unchanged if the input is…
Secure multiparty computation (MPC) on incomplete communication networks has been studied within two primary models: (1) Where a partial network is fixed a priori, and thus corruptions can occur dependent on its structure, and (2) Where…
We provide $m^{1+o(1)}k\epsilon^{-1}$-time algorithms for computing multiplicative $(1 - \epsilon)$-approximate solutions to multi-commodity flow problems with $k$-commodities on $m$-edge directed graphs, including concurrent…
Computing the directed path-width of a directed graph is an NP-hard problem. Even for digraphs of maximum semi-degree 3 the problem remains hard. We propose a decomposition of an input digraph G=(V,A) by a number k of sequences with entries…
Given a graph $G=(V,E)$ with two distinguished vertices $s,t\in V$ and an integer $L$, an {\em $L$-bounded flow} is a flow between $s$ and $t$ that can be decomposed into paths of length at most $L$. In the {\em maximum $L$-bounded flow…
We give the first deterministic algorithm that makes sub-quadratic queries to find the global min-cut of a simple graph in the cut query model. Given an $n$-vertex graph $G$, our algorithm makes $\widetilde{O}(n^{5/3})$ queries to compute…
A $(\phi,\epsilon)$-expander-decomposition of a graph $G$ (with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges) is a partition of $V$ into clusters $V_1,\ldots,V_k$ with conductance $\Phi(G[V_i]) \ge \phi$, such that there are at most $\epsilon m$…
Expander decompositions have become one of the central frameworks in the design of fast algorithms. For an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$, a near-optimal $\phi$-expander decomposition is a partition $V_1, V_2, \ldots, V_k$ of the vertex set $V$…
We study infinite graph-directed iterated function systems (GIFS) whose underlying graph is not strongly connected and has countably many vertices and edges. In addition to a summability condition for the physical potential, we provide…
Graph neural networks (GNNs) have shown state-of-the-art performances in various applications. However, GNNs often struggle to capture long-range dependencies in graphs due to oversmoothing. In this paper, we generalize the concept of…
