Cohesive subgraph discovery in a network is one of the fundamental problems and investigated for several decades. In this paper, we propose the Overlapping Cohesive Subgraphs with Minimum degree (OCSM) problem which combines three key…
In the Steiner Tree Augmentation Problem (STAP), we are given a graph $G = (V,E)$, a set of terminals $R \subseteq V$, and a Steiner tree $T$ spanning $R$. The edges $L := E \setminus E(T)$ are called links and have non-negative costs. The…
We study the imbalance problem on complete bipartite graphs. The imbalance problem is a graph layout problem and is known to be NP-complete. Graph layout problems find their applications in the optimization of networks for parallel computer…
The domination problem and its variants represent a classical domain within algorithmic graph theory. Among these variants, the paired-domination problem holds particular prominence due to its real-world implications in security and…
This paper studies the problem of modeling multi-agent dynamical systems, where agents could interact mutually to influence their behaviors. Recent research predominantly uses geometric graphs to depict these mutual interactions, which are…
We consider problems of the following type: given a graph $G$, how many edges are needed in the worst case for a sparse subgraph $H$ that approximately preserves distances between a given set of node pairs $P$? Examples include pairwise…
It has been shown by Indyk and Sidiropoulos [IS07] that any graph of genus g>0 can be stochastically embedded into a distribution over planar graphs with distortion 2^O(g). This bound was later improved to O(g^2) by Borradaile, Lee and…
Dense subgraph discovery is an important graph-mining primitive with a variety of real-world applications. One of the most well-studied optimization problems for dense subgraph discovery is the densest subgraph problem, where given an…
Subgraph matching is the problem of finding all the occurrences of a small graph, called the query, in a larger graph, called the target. Although the problem has been widely studied in simple graphs, few solutions have been proposed for…
Identifying the nodes of small sub-graphs with no a priori information is a hard problem. In this work, we want to find each node of a sparse sub-graph embedded in both dynamic and static background graphs, of larger average degree. We show…
The presented material is devoted to the equivalent conversion from the vertex graphs to the edge graphs. We suggest that the proved theorems solve the problem of the isomorphism of graphs, the problem of the graph's enumeration with the…
Self-organizing complex systems typically are comprised of a large number of frequently similar components or events. Through their process, a pattern at the global-level of a system emerges solely from numerous interactions among the…
The Generalized Traveling Salesman Problem (GTSP) is one of the NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems. A variant of GTSP is E-GTSP where E, meaning equality, has the constraint: exactly one node from a cluster of a graph partition is…
This study poses the feature correspondence problem as a hypergraph node labeling problem. Candidate feature matches and their subsets (usually of size larger than two) are considered to be the nodes and hyperedges of a hypergraph. A…
Finding dense subgraphs is a fundamental algorithmic tool in data mining, community detection, and clustering. In this problem, one aims to find an induced subgraph whose edge-to-vertex ratio is maximized. We study the directed case of this…
We present a general technique, based on parametric search with some twist, for solving a variety of optimization problems on a set of semi-algebraic geometric objects of constant complexity. The common feature of these problems is that…
We describe approximation algorithms in Linial's classic LOCAL model of distributed computing to find maximum-weight matchings in a hypergraph of rank $r$. Our main result is a deterministic algorithm to generate a matching which is an…
In the classical Node-Disjoint Paths (NDP) problem, the input consists of an undirected $n$-vertex graph $G$, and a collection $\mathcal{M}=\{(s_1,t_1),\ldots,(s_k,t_k)\}$ of pairs of its vertices, called source-destination, or demand,…
In the constraint programming framework, state-of-the-art static and dynamic decomposition techniques are hard to apply to problems with complete initial constraint graphs. For such problems, we propose a hybrid approach of these techniques…
This paper presents a graph bundling algorithm that agglomerates edges taking into account both spatial proximity as well as user-defined criteria in order to reveal patterns that were not perceivable with previous bundling techniques. Each…
