We give an $O^*(1.0821^n)$-time, polynomial space algorithm for computing Maximum Independent Set in graphs with bounded degree 3. This improves all the previous running time bounds known for the problem.

Consider the following 2-respecting min-cut problem. Given a weighted graph $G$ and its spanning tree $T$, find the minimum cut among the cuts that contain at most two edges in $T$. This problem is an important subroutine in Karger's…

A unit disk graph is the intersection graph of n congruent disks in the plane. Dominating sets in unit disk graphs are widely studied due to their application in wireless ad-hoc networks. Because the minimum dominating set problem for unit…

The success of modern parallel paradigms such as MapReduce, Hadoop, or Spark, has attracted a significant attention to the Massively Parallel Computation (MPC) model over the past few years, especially on graph problems. In this work, we…

We describe a simple deterministic $O( \varepsilon^{-1} \log \Delta)$ round distributed algorithm for $(2\alpha+1)(1 + \varepsilon)$ approximation of minimum weighted dominating set on graphs with arboricity at most $\alpha$. Here $\Delta$…

Distributed vertex coloring is one of the classic problems and probably also the most widely studied problems in the area of distributed graph algorithms. We present a new randomized distributed vertex coloring algorithm for the standard…

We improve on random sampling techniques for approximately solving problems that involve cuts and flows in graphs. We give a near-linear-time construction that transforms any graph on n vertices into an O(n\log n)-edge graph on the same…

We develop an experimental algorithm for the exact solving of the maximum independent set problem. The algorithm consecutively finds the maximal independent sets of vertices in an arbitrary undirected graph such that the next such set…

We present an $O^*(1.0919^n)$-time algorithm for finding a maximum independent set in an $n$-vertex graph with degree bounded by 3, which improves the previously known algorithm of running time $O^*(1.0977^n)$ by Bourgeois, Escoffier and…

In a graph $G = (V,E)$, a vertex subset $S\subseteq V(G)$ is said to be a dominating set of $G$ if every vertex not in $S$ is adjacent to a vertex in $S$. A dominating set $S$ of $G$ is called a paired-dominating set of $G$ if the induced…

We study the Maximum Independent Set of Rectangles (MISR) problem: given a set of $n$ axis-parallel rectangles, find a largest-cardinality subset of the rectangles, such that no two of them overlap. MISR is a basic geometric optimization…

For a graph G=(V,E), finding a set of disjoint edges that do not share any vertices is called a matching problem, and finding the maximum matching is a fundamental problem in the theory of distributed graph algorithms. Although local…

Recently, studying fundamental graph problems in the \emph{Massively Parallel Computation (MPC) framework, inspired by the MapReduce paradigm, has gained a lot of attention. An assumption common to a vast majority of approaches is to allow…

The expansion of a hypergraph, a natural extension of the notion of expansion in graphs, is defined as the minimum over all cuts in the hypergraph of the ratio of the number of the hyperedges cut to the size of the smaller side of the cut.…

In this paper we present a deterministic CONGEST algorithm to compute an $O(k\Delta)$-vertex coloring in $O(\Delta/k)+\log^* n$ rounds, where $\Delta$ is the maximum degree of the network graph and $1\leq k\leq O(\Delta)$ can be freely…

In the fully dynamic maximal independent set (MIS) problem our goal is to maintain an MIS in a given graph $G$ while edges are inserted and deleted from the graph. The first non-trivial algorithm for this problem was presented by Assadi,…

This work deals with the Maximum Independent Set ($\mathcal{MIS}$) formation problem in a finite rectangular grid by autonomous robots. Suppose we are given a set of identical robots, where each robot is placed on a node of a finite…

We consider the Backup Placement problem in networks in the $\mathcal{CONGEST}$ distributed setting. Given a network graph $G = (V,E)$, the goal of each vertex $v \in V$ is selecting a neighbor, such that the maximum number of vertices in…

The notion of vertex sparsification is introduced in \cite{M}, where it was shown that for any graph $G = (V, E)$ and a subset of $k$ terminals $K \subset V$, there is a polynomial time algorithm to construct a graph $H = (K, E_H)$ on just…

In the distributed backup-placement problem each node of a network has to select one neighbor, such that the maximum number of nodes that make the same selection is minimized. This is a natural relaxation of the perfect matching problem, in…
