Many fixed-parameter tractable algorithms using a bounded search tree have been repeatedly improved, often by describing a larger number of branching rules involving an increasingly complex case analysis. We introduce a novel and general…
Given a graph $G$ rooted at a vertex $r$ and weight functions, $\gamma, \tau: E(G) \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$, the generalized cable-trench problem (CTP) is to find a single spanning tree that simultaneously minimizes the sum of the total edge…
We give offline algorithms for processing a sequence of $2$ and $3$ edge and vertex connectivity queries in a fully-dynamic undirected graph. While the current best fully-dynamic online data structures for $3$-edge and $3$-vertex…
Canonical orderings and their relatives such as st-numberings have been used as a key tool in algorithmic graph theory for the last decades. Recently, a unifying concept behind all these orders has been shown: they can be described by a…
Given a $\{0,1\}$-matrix $M$, the graph realization problem for $M$ asks if there exists a spanning forest such that the columns of $M$ are incidence vectors of paths in the forest. The problem is closely related to the recognition of…
We consider the minimum spanning tree problem in a setting where information about the edge weights of the given graph is uncertain. Initially, for each edge $e$ of the graph only a set $A_e$, called an uncertainty area, that contains the…
In the online Steiner tree problem, the input is a set of vertices that appear one-by-one, and we have to maintain a Steiner tree on the current set of vertices. The cost of the tree is the total length of edges in the tree, and we want…
A network provides powerful means of representing complex relationships between entities by abstracting entities as vertices, and relationships as edges connecting vertices in a graph. Beyond the presence or absence of relationships, a…
Highly dynamic networks are characterized by frequent changes in the availability of communication links. These networks are often partitioned into several components, which split and merge unpredictably. We present a distributed algorithm…
Network redesign problems ask for modifications to the edges of a given graph to satisfy certain properties. In temporal graphs, where edges are only active at certain times, we are sometimes only allowed to modify when the edges are going…
We study the problem of distance-preserving graph compression for weighted paths and trees. The problem entails a weighted graph $G = (V, E)$ with non-negative weights, and a subset of edges $E^{\prime} \subset E$ which needs to be removed…
Subgraph listing is a fundamental problem in graph theory and has wide applications in areas like sociology, chemistry, and social networks. Modern graphs can usually be large-scale as well as highly dynamic, which challenges the efficiency…
Grouping the nodes of a graph into clusters is a standard technique for studying networks. We study a problem where we are given a directed network and are asked to partition the graph into a sequence of coherent groups. We assume that…
We study the problem of extracting a selective connector for a given set of query vertices $Q \subseteq V$ in a graph $G = (V,E)$. A selective connector is a subgraph of $G$ which exhibits some cohesiveness property, and contains the query…
This paper initiates the studies of parallel algorithms for core maintenance in dynamic graphs. The core number is a fundamental index reflecting the cohesiveness of a graph, which are widely used in large-scale graph analytics. The core…
In this paper we present the first algorithm in the streaming model to characterize completely the biconnectivity properties of undirected networks: articulation points, bridges, and connected and biconnected components. The motivation of…
Classically, planning tasks are studied as a two-step process: plan creation and plan execution. In situations where plan creation is slow (for example, due to expensive information access or complex constraints), a natural speed-up tactic…
We give an algorithm for finding the arboricity of a weighted, undirected graph, defined as the minimum number of spanning forests that cover all edges of the graph, in $\sqrt{n} m^{1+o(1)}$ time. This improves on the previous best bound of…
