Given a planar graph $G$ and an integer $b$, OrthogonalPlanarity is the problem of deciding whether $G$ admits an orthogonal drawing with at most $b$ bends in total. We show that OrthogonalPlanarity can be solved in polynomial time if $G$…
A sparsifier of a graph $G$ (Bencz\'ur and Karger; Spielman and Teng) is a sparse weighted subgraph $\tilde G$ that approximately retains the cut structure of $G$. For general graphs, non-trivial sparsification is possible only by using…
Dujmovi\'c, Joret, Micek, Morin, Ueckerdt and Wood [J. ACM 2020] proved that for every graph $G$ with Euler genus $g$ there is a graph $H$ with treewidth at most 4 and a path $P$ such that $G\subseteq H \boxtimes P \boxtimes…
Results on the existence of various types of spanning subgraphs of graphs are milestones in structural graph theory and have been diversified in several directions. In the present paper, we consider "local" versions of such statements. In…
A rough structure theorem is proved for graphs $G$ containing no copy of a bounded degree tree $T$: from any such $G$, one can delete $o(|G||T|)$ edges in order to get a subgraph all of whose connected components have a cover of order…
By considering graphs as discrete analogues of Riemann surfaces, Baker and Norine (Adv. Math. 2007) developed a concept of linear systems of divisors for graphs. Building on this idea, a concept of gonality for graphs has been defined and…
For a graph property $\Pi$, Subgraph Complementation to $\Pi$ is the problem to find whether there is a subset $S$ of vertices of the input graph $G$ such that modifying $G$ by complementing the subgraph induced by $S$ results in a graph…
We study the problem of gradually representing a complex graph as a sequence of drawings of small subgraphs whose union is the complex graph. The sequence of drawings is called \emph{storyplan}, and each drawing in the sequence is called a…
Cuts in graphs are a fundamental object of study, and play a central role in the study of graph algorithms. The problem of sparsifying a graph while approximately preserving its cut structure has been extensively studied and has many…
We contribute an approach to the problem of locally computing sparse connected subgraphs of dense graphs. In this setting, given an edge in a connected graph $G = (V, E)$, an algorithm locally decides its membership in a sparse connected…
This paper explores the structure of graphs defined by an excluded minor or an excluded odd minor through the lens of graph products and tree-decompositions. We prove that every graph excluding a fixed odd minor is contained in the strong…
Structured sparse optimization is an important and challenging problem for analyzing high-dimensional data in a variety of applications such as bioinformatics, medical imaging, social networks, and astronomy. Although a number of structured…
A signed tree model of a graph $G$ is a compact binary structure consisting of a rooted binary tree whose leaves are bijectively mapped to the vertices of $G$, together with 2-colored edges $xy$, called transversal pairs, interpreted as…
We consider the task of detecting a hidden bipartite subgraph in a given random graph. This is formulated as a hypothesis testing problem, under the null hypothesis, the graph is a realization of an Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi random graph over $n$…
For a fixed set ${\cal H}$ of graphs, a graph $G$ is ${\cal H}$-subgraph-free if $G$ does not contain any $H \in {\cal H}$ as a (not necessarily induced) subgraph. A recently proposed framework gives a complete classification on ${\cal…
We investigate string graphs through the lens of graph product structure theory, which describes complicated graphs as subgraphs of strong products of simpler building blocks. A graph $G$ is called a string graph if its vertices can be…
We present the first parallel fixed-parameter algorithm for subgraph isomorphism in planar graphs, bounded-genus graphs, and, more generally, all minor-closed graphs of locally bounded treewidth. Our randomized low depth algorithm has a…
Grigni and Hung~\cite{GH12} conjectured that H-minor-free graphs have $(1+\epsilon)$-spanners that are light, that is, of weight $g(|H|,\epsilon)$ times the weight of the minimum spanning tree for some function $g$. This conjecture implies…
The Subgraph Isomorphism problem asks, given a host graph G on n vertices and a pattern graph P on k vertices, whether G contains a subgraph isomorphic to P. The restriction of this problem to planar graphs has often been considered. After…
We study the problem of constructing universal Steiner trees for undirected graphs. Given a graph $G$ and a root node $r$, we seek a single spanning tree $T$ of minimum {\em stretch}, where the stretch of $T$ is defined to be the maximum…
