A flip of a graph is obtained by complementing the edge relation within a set of vertices. Flips are typically used to separate vertices in a graph, by increasing the distances between them. We show that in $K_{t,t}$-free graphs, every…

This research establishes that many real-world networks exhibit bounded expansion, a strong notion of structural sparsity, and demonstrates that it can be leveraged to design efficient algorithms for network analysis. We analyze several…

Richter and Thomassen proved that every graph has an edge $e$ such that the crossing number $\ucr(G-e)$ of $G-e$ is at least $(2/5)\ucr(G) - O(1)$. Fox and Cs. T\'oth proved that dense graphs have large sets of edges (proportional in the…

It is essential for a robot to be able to detect revisits or loop closures for long-term visual navigation.A key insight explored in this work is that the loop-closing event inherently occurs sparsely, that is, the image currently being…

We investigate structural properties of large, sparse random graphs through the lens of "sampling convergence" (Borgs et. al. (2017)). Sampling convergence generalizes left convergence to sparse graphs, and describes the limit in terms of a…
