We develop efficient algorithms for a fundamental network design problem arising in potential-based flow models, which are central to many energy transport networks (e.g., hydrogen and electricity). In contrast to classical network flow…

We study the $k$-Submodular Cover ($kSC$) problem, a natural generalization of the classical Submodular Cover problem that arises in artificial intelligence and combinatorial optimization tasks such as influence maximization, resource…

Many combinatorial optimization problems can be phrased in the language of constraint satisfaction problems. We introduce a graph neural network architecture for solving such optimization problems. The architecture is generic; it works for…

It is a critical issue to compute the shortest paths between nodes in networks. Exact algorithms for shortest paths are usually inapplicable for large scale networks due to the high computational complexity. In this paper, we propose a…

We provide a comprehensive reply to the comment written by Stefan Boettcher [arXiv:2210.00623] and argue that the comment singles out one particular non-representative example problem, entirely focusing on the maximum cut problem (MaxCut)…

This paper proposes a simplified version of classical models for urban transportation networks, and studies the problem of controlling intersections with the goal of optimizing network-wide congestion. Differently from traditional…

Many link prediction algorithms require the computation of a similarity metric on each vertex pair, which is quadratic in the number of vertices and infeasible for large networks. We develop a class of link prediction algorithms based on a…

Sparse optimization is a central problem in machine learning and computer vision. However, this problem is inherently NP-hard and thus difficult to solve in general. Combinatorial search methods find the global optimal solution but are…

We present a novel heuristic algorithm for routing optimization on complex networks. Previously proposed routing optimization algorithms aim at avoiding or reducing link overload. Our algorithm balances traffic on a network by minimizing…

In this paper, we consider a subset selection problem in a spatial field where we seek to find a set of k locations whose observations provide the best estimate of the field value at a finite set of prediction locations. The measurements…

Vertex connectivity is a well-studied concept in graph theory with numerous applications. A graph is $k$-connected if it remains connected after removing any $k-1$ vertices. The vertex connectivity of a graph is the maximum $k$ such that…

The densest subgraph problem has received significant attention, both in theory and in practice, due to its applications in problems such as community detection, social network analysis, and spam detection. Due to the high cost of obtaining…
