This paper introduces an efficient perturbed difference-of-convex algorithm (pDCA) for computing d-stationary points of an important class of structured nonsmooth difference-of-convex problems. Compared to the principal algorithms…
Recently years, the attempts on distilling mobile data into useful knowledge has been led to the deployment of machine learning algorithms at the network edge. Principal component analysis (PCA) is a classic technique for extracting the…
An $st$-path in a drawing of a graph is self-approaching if during the traversal of the corresponding curve from $s$ to any point $t'$ on the curve the distance to $t'$ is non-increasing. A path has increasing chords if it is…
Recently, $\alpha$-Rank, a graph-based algorithm, has been proposed as a solution to ranking joint policy profiles in large scale multi-agent systems. $\alpha$-Rank claimed tractability through a polynomial time implementation with respect…
Given a connected outerplanar graph G of pathwidth p, we give an algorithm to add edges to G to get a supergraph of G, which is 2-vertex-connected, outerplanar and of pathwidth O(p). This settles an open problem raised by Biedl, in the…
For the vast majority of local graph problems standard dynamic programming techniques give c^tw V^O(1) algorithms, where tw is the treewidth of the input graph. On the other hand, for problems with a global requirement (usually…

We analyze the Disjoint Path Allocation problem (DPA) in the priority framework. Motivated by the problem of traffic regulation in communication networks, DPA consists of allocating edge-disjoint paths in a graph. While online algorithms…

The basic goal of survivable network design is to build cheap networks that guarantee the connectivity of certain pairs of nodes despite the failure of a few edges or nodes. A celebrated result by Jain [Combinatorica'01] provides a…
Given a graph $G$, the NP-hard Maximum Planar Subgraph problem (MPS) asks for a planar subgraph of $G$ with the maximum number of edges. There are several heuristic, approximative, and exact algorithms to tackle the problem, but---to the…
In this paper we extend some classical NP-hardness results from the class of 2-connected planar graphs to subclasses of 3-connected planar graphs. The reduction are partly based on a new graph augmentation, which may be of independent…
In the Partially Embedded Planarity problem, we are given a graph $G$ together with a topological drawing of a subgraph $H$ of $G$. The task is to decide whether the drawing can be extended to a drawing of the whole graph such that no two…
