Topology recognition and leader election are fundamental tasks in distributed computing in networks. The first of them requires each node to find a labeled isomorphic copy of the network, while the result of the second one consists in a…

Given a graph $G$ and some initial labelling $\sigma : V(G) \to \{Red, Blue\}$ of its vertices, the \textit{majority dynamics model} is the deterministic process where at each stage, every vertex simultaneously replaces its label with the…

Let $G$ be a graph and ${\mathcal{\tau}}: V(G)\rightarrow \Bbb{N}\cup \{0\}$ be an assignment of thresholds to the vertices of $G$. A subset of vertices $D$ is said to be a dynamic monopoly corresponding to $(G, \tau)$ if the vertices of…

Given a population with dynamic pairwise connections, we ask if the entire population could be (indirectly) infected by a small group of $k$ initially infected individuals. We formalise this problem as the Temporal Reachability Dominating…

The \emph{domination subdivision number} sd$(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of edges that must be subdivided (where an edge can be subdivided at most once) in order to increase the domination number of $G$. It has been shown…

The problems studied in this paper originate from Graph Motif, a problem introduced in 2006 in the context of biological networks. Informally speaking, it consists in deciding if a multiset of colors occurs in a connected subgraph of a…

We address the problem of computing a Minimal Dominating Set in highly dynamic distributed systems. We assume weak connectivity, i.e., the network may be disconnected at each time instant and topological changes are unpredictable. We make…

In this paper, we study parameter-independent stability in qualitatively heterogeneous passive networked systems containing damped and undamped nodes. Given the graph topology and a set of damped nodes, we ask if output consensus is…

We consider network design problems in which we are given a graph and seek a min-size $2$-connected subgraph that satisfies a prescribed property. $\bullet$ In the 1-Connectivity Augmentation problem the goal is to augment a connected graph…

Let $G$ be a graph with a threshold function $\theta:V(G)\rightarrow \mathbb{N}$ such that $1\leq \theta(v)\leq d_G(v)$ for every vertex $v$ of $G$, where $d_G(v)$ is the degree of $v$ in $G$. Suppose we are given a target set $S\subseteq…

A power dominating set of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a set $S\subset V$ that colors every vertex of $G$ according to the following rules: in the first timestep, every vertex in $N[S]$ becomes colored; in each subsequent timestep, every vertex…

The Minimum Consistent Subset (MCS) problem arises naturally in the context of supervised clustering and instance selection. In supervised clustering, one aims to infer a meaningful partitioning of data using a small labeled subset.…

We consider an SIR-type (Susceptible $\to$ Infected $\to$ Recovered) stochastic epidemic process with multiple modes of transmission on a contact network. The network is given by a random graph following a multilayer configuration model…

Visual rendering of graphs is a key task in the mapping of complex network data. Although most graph drawing algorithms emphasize aesthetic appeal, certain applications such as travel-time maps place more importance on visualization of…

Let $G = (V,E)$ be a graph on $n$ vertices, where $d_v$ denotes the degree of vertex $v$, and $t_v$ is a threshold associated with $v$. We consider a process in which initially a set $S$ of vertices becomes active, and thereafter, in…

In this paper, we consider the Target Set Selection problem: given a graph and a threshold value $thr(v)$ for any vertex $v$ of the graph, find a minimum size vertex-subset to "activate" s.t. all the vertices of the graph are activated at…

We consider a variant of the densest subgraph problem in networks with single or multiple edge attributes. For example, in a social network, the edge attributes may describe the type of relationship between users, such as friends, family,…

Maximal independent set (MIS), maximal matching (MM), and $(\Delta+1)$-coloring in graphs of maximum degree $\Delta$ are among the most prominent algorithmic graph theory problems. They are all solvable by a simple linear-time greedy…

Robustness is a critical measure of the resilience of large networked systems, such as transportation and communication networks. Most prior works focus on the global robustness of a given graph at large, e.g., by measuring its overall…

In this paper we study the controllability of networked systems with static network topologies using tools from algebraic graph theory. Each agent in the network acts in a decentralized fashion by updating its state in accordance with a…
