When regularity lemmas were first developed in the 1970s, they were described as results that promise a partition of any graph into a ``small'' number of parts, such that the graph looks ``similar'' to a random graph on its edge subsets…
This article introduces new algorithms for the uniform random generation of labelled planar graphs. Its principles rely on Boltzmann samplers, as recently developed by Duchon, Flajolet, Louchard, and Schaeffer. It combines the Boltzmann…
A method for compression of large graphs and matrices to a block structure is further developed. Szemer\'edi's regularity lemma is used as a generic motivation of the significance of stochastic block models. Another ingredient of the method…
Comparability graphs are a popular class of graphs. We introduce as the digraph analogue of comparability graphs the class of comparability digraphs. We show that many concepts such as implication classes and the knotting graph for a…
A graph is unipolar if it can be partitioned into a clique and a disjoint union of cliques, and a graph is a generalised split graph if it or its complement is unipolar. A unipolar partition of a graph can be used to find efficiently the…
Learning on large graphs presents significant challenges, with traditional Message Passing Neural Networks suffering from computational and memory costs scaling linearly with the number of edges. We introduce the Intersecting Block Graph…
Introduced in the mid-1970's as an intermediate step in proving a long-standing conjecture on arithmetic progressions, Szemer\'edi's regularity lemma has emerged over time as a fundamental tool in different branches of graph theory,…
We revisit the problem of designing sublinear algorithms for estimating the average degree of an $n$-vertex graph. The standard access model for graphs allows for the following queries: sampling a uniform random vertex, the degree of a…
We consider a monotone submodular maximization problem whose constraint is described by a logic formula on a graph. Formally, we prove the following three `algorithmic metatheorems.' (1) If the constraint is specified by a monadic…
We present a nearly-linear time algorithm for finding a minimum-cost flow in planar graphs with polynomially bounded integer costs and capacities. The previous fastest algorithm for this problem is based on interior point methods (IPMs) and…
Node classification on graphs is a significant task with a wide range of applications, including social analysis and anomaly detection. Even though graph neural networks (GNNs) have produced promising results on this task, current…
We present a new approach for solving (minimum disagreement) correlation clustering that results in sublinear algorithms with highly efficient time and space complexity for this problem. In particular, we obtain the following algorithms for…
We study the problem of finding a copy of a specific induced subgraph on inhomogeneous random graphs with infinite variance power-law degrees. We provide a fast algorithm that finds a copy of any connected graph $H$ on a fixed number of $k$…
The branching algorithm is a fundamental technique for designing fast exponential-time algorithms to solve combinatorial optimization problems exactly. It divides the entire solution space into independent search branches using…
The "slope-number" of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of distinct edge slopes in a straight-line drawing of $G$ in the plane. We prove that for $\Delta\geq5$ and all large $n$, there is a $\Delta$-regular $n$-vertex graph with…
Given a graph $G = (V, E)$ with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, the DominatingSet problem asks for a set $D \subseteq V$ of minimal cardinality such that every vertex either is in $D$ or adjacent to a member of $D$. Although there is little…
As one of the most fundamental tasks in graph theory, subgraph matching is a crucial task in many fields, ranging from information retrieval, computer vision, biology, chemistry and natural language processing. Yet subgraph matching problem…
An influential theorem of Nikiforov states that if an $N$-vertex graph $G$ contains at least $\gamma N^h$ copies of some fixed $h$-vertex graph $H$, then $G$ contains an $H$-blowup of order $c_H(\gamma)\log N$. We provide a new proof of…
We study the complexity of local graph centrality estimation, with the goal of approximating the centrality score of a given target node while exploring only a sublinear number of nodes/arcs of the graph and performing a sublinear number of…
The definition of $1$-planar graphs naturally extends graph planarity, namely a graph is $1$-planar if it can be drawn in the plane with at most one crossing per edge. Unfortunately, while testing graph planarity is solvable in linear time,…
