The Temporal Graph Exploration problem (TEXP) takes as input a temporal graph, i.e., a sequence of graphs $(G_i)_{i\in \mathbb{N}}$ on the same vertex set, and asks for a walk of shortest length visiting all vertices, where the $i$-th step…
Many types of dynamic networks are made up of durable entities whose links evolve over time. When considered from a {\em global} and {\em discrete} standpoint, these networks are often modelled as evolving graphs, i.e. a sequence of graphs…
We introduce a variant of the deterministic rendezvous problem for a pair of heterogeneous agents operating in an undirected graph, which differ in the time they require to traverse particular edges of the graph. Each agent knows the…
We study the computability and complexity of the exploration problem in a class of highly dynamic graphs: periodically varying (PV) graphs, where the edges exist only at some (unknown) times defined by the periodic movements of carriers.…
We consider the problem of estimating the graph size, where one is given only local access to the graph. We formally define a query model in which one starts with a \emph{seed} node and is allowed to make queries about neighbours of nodes…
In this paper we show how the complexity of performing nearest neighbor (NNS) search on a metric space is related to the expansion of the metric space. Given a metric space we look at the graph obtained by connecting every pair of points…
Consider a small group of mobile agents whose goal is to locate a certain cell in a two-dimensional infinite grid. The agents operate in an asynchronous environment, where in each discrete time step, an arbitrary subset of the agents…
We consider the classical Minimum Balanced Cut problem: given a graph $G$, compute a partition of its vertices into two subsets of roughly equal volume, while minimizing the number of edges connecting the subsets. We present the first {\em…
We study the problem of exploring an oriented grid with autonomous agents governed by finite automata. In the case of a 2-dimensional grid, the question how many agents are required to explore the grid, or equivalently, find a hidden…
We consider random simple temporal graphs in which every edge of the complete graph $K_n$ appears once within the time interval [0,1] independently and uniformly at random. Our main result is a sharp threshold on the size of any maximum…
We define the following parameter of connected graphs. For a given graph $G$ we place one agent in each vertex of $G$. Every pair of agents sharing a common edge is declared to be acquainted. In each round we choose some matching of $G$…
We consider the problem of periodic graph exploration in which a mobile entity with constant memory, an agent, has to visit all n nodes of an arbitrary undirected graph G in a periodic manner. Graphs are supposed to be anonymous, that is,…
We study a family online influence maximization problems where in a sequence of rounds $t=1,\ldots,T$, a decision maker selects one from a large number of agents with the goal of maximizing influence. Upon choosing an agent, the decision…
We give a deterministic algorithm for computing a global minimum vertex cut in a vertex-weighted graph $n$ vertices and $m$ edges in $\widehat O(mn)$ time. This breaks the long-standing $\widehat \Omega(n^{4})$-time barrier in dense graphs,…
In the graph exploration problem, a team of mobile computational entities, called agents, arbitrarily positioned at some nodes of a graph, must cooperate so that each node is eventually visited by at least one agent. In the literature, the…
In this work, we resolve the query complexity of global minimum cut problem for a graph by designing a randomized algorithm for approximating the size of minimum cut in a graph, where the graph can be accessed through local queries like…
We consider the classic Set Cover problem in the data stream model. For $n$ elements and $m$ sets ($m\geq n$) we give a $O(1/\delta)$-pass algorithm with a strongly sub-linear $\tilde{O}(mn^{\delta})$ space and logarithmic approximation…
We consider the ``minimum degree spanning tree'' problem. As input, we receive an undirected, connected graph $G=(V, E)$ with $n$ nodes and $m$ edges, and our task is to find a spanning tree $T$ of $G$ that minimizes $\max_{u \in V}…
We address the problem of testing whether a dynamic graph is temporally connected, i.e. a temporal path ({\em journey}) exists between all pairs of vertices. We consider a discrete version of the problem, where the topology is given as an…
A temporal graph is a sequence of graphs (called layers) over the same vertex set -- describing a graph topology which is subject to discrete changes over time. A $\Delta$-temporal matching $M$ is a set of time edges $(e,t)$ (an edge $e$…
