Graph routing problems have been investigated extensively in operations research, computer science and engineering due to their ubiquity and vast applications. In this paper, we study constant approximation algorithms for some variations of…

We study the maximum number of straight-line segments connecting $n$ points in convex position in the plane, so that each segment intersects at most $k$ others. This question can also be framed as the maximum number of edges of an outer…

Traffic engineering (TE) is a fundamental task in networking. Conventionally, traffic can take any path connecting the source and destination. Emerging technologies such as segment routing, however, use logical paths going through a…

We present faster algorithms for approximate maximum flow in undirected graphs with good separator structures, such as bounded genus, minor free, and geometric graphs. Given such a graph with $n$ vertices, $m$ edges along with a recursive…

In this paper we study the Spanning Tree Congestion problem, where we are given a graph $G=(V,E)$ and are asked to find a spanning tree $T$ of minimum maximum congestion. Here, the congestion of an edge $e\in T$ is the number of edges…

The disjoint paths problem is a fundamental problem in algorithmic graph theory and combinatorial optimization. For a given graph $G$ and a set of $k$ pairs of terminals in $G$, it asks for the existence of $k$ vertex-disjoint paths…

For two positive integers $k$ and $\ell$, a $(k \times \ell)$-spindle is the union of $k$ pairwise internally vertex-disjoint directed paths with $\ell$ arcs between two vertices $u$ and $v$. We are interested in the (parameterized)…

In the store-and-forward routing problem, packets have to be routed along given paths such that the arrival time of the latest packet is minimized. A groundbreaking result of Leighton, Maggs and Rao says that this can always be done in time…

This paper is concerned with a constrained optimization problem over a directed graph (digraph) of nodes, in which the cost function is a sum of local objectives, and each node only knows its local objective and constraints. To…

An edge-ordered graph is a graph with a total ordering of its edges. A path $P=v_1v_2\ldots v_k$ in an edge-ordered graph is called increasing if $(v_iv_{i+1}) > (v_{i+1}v_{i+2})$ for all $i = 1,\ldots,k-2$; it is called decreasing if…

A $k$-defective clique of an undirected graph $G$ is a subset of its vertices that induces a nearly complete graph with a maximum of $k$ missing edges. The maximum $k$-defective clique problem, which asks for the largest $k$-defective…

Given a capacitated graph $G = (V,E)$ and a set of terminals $K \subseteq V$, how should we produce a graph $H$ only on the terminals $K$ so that every (multicommodity) flow between the terminals in $G$ could be supported in $H$ with low…

Given an edge-weighted directed graph $G=(V,E)$ on $n$ vertices and a set $T=\{t_1, t_2, \ldots, t_p\}$ of $p$ terminals, the objective of the \scss ($p$-SCSS) problem is to find an edge set $H\subseteq E$ of minimum weight such that $G[H]$…

Let $G$ be a directed planar graph of complexity $n$, each arc having a nonnegative length. Let $s$ and $t$ be two distinct faces of $G$; let $s_1,...,s_k$ be vertices incident with $s$; let $t_1,...,t_k$ be vertices incident with $t$. We…

By Menger's theorem the maximum number of arc-disjoint paths from a vertex s to a vertex t in a directed graph equals the minumum number of arcs needed to disconnect s and t, i.e., the minimum size of an s-t-cut. The max-flow problem in a…

A solution of the $k$ shortest paths problem may output paths that are identical up to a single edge. On the other hand, a solution of the $k$ independent shortest paths problem consists of paths that share neither an edge nor an…

We prove the NP-completeness of the integer multiflow problem in planar graphs, with the following restrictions: there are only two demand edges, both lying on the infinite face of the routing graph. This was one of the open challenges…

The space-requirement for routing-tables is an important characteristic of routing schemes. For the cost-measure of minimizing the total network load there exist a variety of results that show tradeoffs between stretch and required size for…

We consider the problem of learning the weighted edges of a balanced mixture of two undirected graphs from epidemic cascades. While mixture models are popular modeling tools, algorithmic development with rigorous guarantees has lagged.…

Assignment of one of the two possible directions to every edge of an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ is called an orientation of $G$. The resulting directed graph is denoted by $\overrightarrow{G}$. A strong orientation is one in which every…
