For $p,q\ge2$ the $\{p,q\}$-tiling graph is the (finite or infinite) planar graph $T_{p,q}$ where all faces are cycles of length $p$ and all vertices have degree $q$. We give algorithms for the problem of recognizing (induced) subgraphs of…
We study graph classes modeled by families of non-crossing (NC) connected sets. Two classic graph classes in this context are disk graphs and proper interval graphs. We focus on the cases when the sets are paths and the host is a tree…
In this paper we show how to combine two algorithmic techniques to obtain linear time algorithms for various optimization problems on graphs, and present a subroutine which will be useful in doing so. The first technique is iterative…
Utilizing graph algorithms is a common activity in computer science. Algorithms that perform computations on large graphs are not always efficient. This work investigates the Single-Source Shortest Path (SSSP) problem, which is considered…
In this paper we give an $\widetilde{O}((nm)^{2/3}\log C)$ time algorithm for computing min-cost flow (or min-cost circulation) in unit capacity planar multigraphs where edge costs are integers bounded by $C$. For planar multigraphs, this…
We solve the subgraph isomorphism problem in planar graphs in linear time, for any pattern of constant size. Our results are based on a technique of partitioning the planar graph into pieces of small tree-width, and applying dynamic…
An Eulerian circuit in a directed graph is one of the most fundamental Graph Theory notions. Detecting if a graph $G$ has a unique Eulerian circuit can be done in polynomial time via the BEST theorem by de Bruijn, van Aardenne-Ehrenfest,…
We described a simple algorithm running in linear time for each fixed constant $k$, that either establishes that the pathwidth of a graph $G$ is greater than $k$, or finds a path-decomposition of $G$ of width at most $O(2^{k})$. This…
We consider the problem of sampling from the uniform distribution on the set of Eulerian orientations of subgraphs of the triangular lattice. Although it is known that this can be achieved in polynomial time for any graph, the algorithm…
Baker devised a powerful technique to obtain approximation schemes for various problems restricted to planar graphs. Her technique can be directly extended to various other graph classes, among the most general ones the graphs avoiding a…
Minimal separators in graphs are an important concept in algorithmic graph theory. In particular, many problems that are NP-hard for general graphs are known to become polynomial-time solvable for classes of graphs with a polynomially…
For every integer $g$, isomorphism of graphs of Euler genus at most $g$ can be decided in linear time. This improves previously known algorithms whose time complexity is $n^{O(g)}$ (shown in early 1980's), and in fact, this is the first…
For two vertices $s$ and $t$ in a graph $G=(V,E)$, the next-to-shortest path is an $st$-path which length is minimum amongst all $st$-paths strictly longer than the shortest path length. In this paper we show that, when the graph is…
We consider the problem of testing graph cluster structure: given access to a graph $G=(V, E)$, can we quickly determine whether the graph can be partitioned into a few clusters with good inner conductance, or is far from any such graph?…
We present the first $m\,\text{polylog}(n)$ work, $\text{polylog}(n)$ time algorithm in the PRAM model that computes $(1+\epsilon)$-approximate single-source shortest paths on weighted, undirected graphs. This improves upon the breakthrough…
Generalizing the notion of split graphs to uniform hypergraphs, we prove that the class of these hypergraphs can be characterized by a finite list of excluded induced subhypergraphs. We show that a characterization by generalized degree…

In most of the shortest path problems like vehicle routing problems and network routing problems, we only need an efficient path between two points source and destination, and it is not necessary to calculate the shortest path from source…
