Index coding, a source coding problem over broadcast channels, has been a subject of both theoretical and practical interest since its introduction (by Birk and Kol, 1998). In short, the problem can be defined as follows: there is an input…
We consider the standard message passing model; we assume the system is fully synchronous: all processes start at the same time and time proceeds in synchronised rounds. In each round each vertex can transmit a different message of size…
In this paper we present an O(n log n) algorithm for finding a maximum flow in a directed planar graph, where the vertices are subject to capacity constraints, in addition to the arcs. If the source and the sink are on the same face, then…
Processing large complex networks like social networks or web graphs has recently attracted considerable interest. In order to do this in parallel, we need to partition them into pieces of about equal size. Unfortunately, previous parallel…
We study the problem of broadcasting packets in wireless networks. At each time slot, a network controller activates non-interfering links and forwards packets to all nodes at a common rate; the maximum rate is referred to as the broadcast…
In the area of beyond-planar graphs, i.e. graphs that can be drawn with some local restrictions on the edge crossings, the recognition problem is prominent next to the density question for the different graph classes. For 1-planar graphs,…
On an evolving graph that is continuously updated by a high-velocity stream of edges, how can one efficiently maintain if two vertices are connected? This is the connectivity problem, a fundamental and widely studied problem on graphs. We…
The problem of maximising the number of cliques among $n$-vertex graphs from various graph classes has received considerable attention. We investigate this problem for the class of $1$-planar graphs where we determine precisely the maximum…
We give optimally fast $O(\log p)$ time (per processor) algorithms for computing round-optimal broadcast schedules for message-passing parallel computing systems. This affirmatively answers difficult questions posed in a SPAA 2022 BA and a…
Time series clustering poses a significant challenge with diverse applications across domains. A prominent drawback of existing solutions lies in their limited interpretability, often confined to presenting users with centroids. In…
This work discusses the source broadcasting problem, i.e. transmitting a source to many receivers via a broadcast channel. The optimal rate-distortion region for this problem is unknown. The separation approach divides the problem into two…
We consider the influence maximization problem over a temporal graph, where there is a single fixed source. We deviate from the standard model of influence maximization, where the goal is to choose the set of most influential vertices.…
We introduce a new technique for bounding the cover time of random walks by relating it to the runtime of randomized broadcast. In particular, we strongly confirm for dense graphs the intuition of Chandra et al. \cite{CRRST97} that "the…
Recent advances in dynamic graph processing have enabled the analysis of highly dynamic graphs with change at rates as high as millions of edge changes per second. Solutions in this domain, however, have been demonstrated only for…
It is known that the vertex connectivity of a planar graph can be computed in linear time. We extend this result to the class of locally maximal 1-plane graphs: graphs that have an embedding with at most one crossing per edge such that the…
Broadcasting systems such as P2P streaming systems represent important network applications that support up to millions of online users. An efficient broadcasting mechanism is at the core of the system design. Despite substantial efforts on…
The feedback set problems are about removing the minimum number of vertices or edges from a graph to break all its cycles. Much effort has gone into understanding their complexity on planar graphs as well as on graphs of bounded degree. We…
The graph isomorphism problem is a main problem which has numerous applications in different fields. Thus, finding an efficient and easy to implement method to discriminate non-isomorphic graphs is valuable. In this paper, a new method is…
Graph isomorphism is an important computer science problem. The problem for the general case is unknown to be in polynomial time. The base algorithm for the general case works in quasi-polynomial time. The solutions in polynomial time for…
Consider the following problem: given a graph with edge costs and a subset Q of vertices, find a minimum-cost subgraph in which there are two edge-disjoint paths connecting every pair of vertices in Q. The problem is a failure-resilient…
