An extremity is a vertex such that the removal of its closed neighbourhood does not increase the number of connected components. Let $Ext_{\alpha}$ be the class of all connected graphs whose quotient graph obtained from modular…
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…
Let $G=(V, E)$ be an undirected $n$-vertices $m$-edges graph with non-negative edge weights. In this paper, we present three new algorithms for constructing a $(2k-1)$-stretch distance oracle with $O(n^{1+\frac{1}{k}})$ space. The first…
The Planar Graph Metric Compression Problem is to compactly encode the distances among $k$ nodes in a planar graph of size $n$. Two na\"ive solutions are to store the graph using $O(n)$ bits, or to explicitly store the distance matrix with…
Calculating the diameter of an undirected graph requires quadratic running time under the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis and this barrier works even against any approximation better than 3/2. For planar graphs with positive edge…
We study graph partitioning problems from a min-max perspective, in which an input graph on n vertices should be partitioned into k parts, and the objective is to minimize the maximum number of edges leaving a single part. The two main…
The family of $(k,\ell)$-sparse graphs, introduced by Lorea, plays a central role in combinatorial optimization and has a wide range of applications, particularly in rigidity theory. A key algorithmic problem is to decide whether a given…
Given an undirected graph $G$ with $m$ edges, $n$ vertices, and non-negative edge weights, and given an integer $k\geq 2$, we show that a $(2k-1)$-approximate distance oracle for $G$ of size $O(kn^{1 + 1/k})$ and with $O(\log k)$ query time…
We give a $(1+\epsilon)$-approximate distance oracle with $O(1)$ query time for an undirected planar graph $G$ with $n$ vertices and non-negative edge lengths. For $\epsilon>0$ and any two vertices $u$ and $v$ in $G$, our oracle gives a…
We study the problem of finding a maximum cardinality minimal separator of a graph. This problem is known to be NP-hard even for bipartite graphs. In this paper, we strengthen this hardness by showing that for planar bipartite graphs, the…
A (1 + eps)-approximate distance oracle for a graph is a data structure that supports approximate point-to-point shortest-path-distance queries. The most relevant measures for a distance-oracle construction are: space, query time, and…
Proximity graph-based methods have emerged as a leading paradigm for approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) search in the system community. This paper presents fresh insights into the theoretical foundation of these methods. We describe an…
We prove that a connected planar graph with $n$ vertices and $n+\mu$ edges has a vertex separator of size $O( \sqrt{\mu} + 1)$, and this separator can be computed in linear time.
We present new and improved data structures that answer exact node-to-node distance queries in planar graphs. Such data structures are also known as distance oracles. For any directed planar graph on n nodes with non-negative lengths we…
In this paper, we provide faster algorithms for computing various fundamental quantities associated with random walks on a directed graph, including the stationary distribution, personalized PageRank vectors, hitting times, and escape…
Let G be a string graph (an intersection graph of continuous arcs in the plane) with m edges. Fox and Pach proved that G has a separator consisting of O(m^{3/4}\sqrt{log m})$ vertices, and they conjectured that the bound of O(\sqrt m)…
We study algorithms for spectral graph sparsification. The input is a graph $G$ with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, and the output is a sparse graph $\tilde{G}$ that approximates $G$ in an algebraic sense. Concretely, for all vectors $x$ and…
We consider how to assign labels to any undirected graph with n nodes such that, given the labels of two nodes and no other information regarding the graph, it is possible to determine the distance between the two nodes. The challenge in…
We consider the distributed and parallel construction of low-diameter decompositions with strong diameter for (weighted) graphs and (weighted) graphs that can be separated through $k \in \tilde{O}(1)$ shortest paths. This class of graphs…
Distance oracles are data structures that provide fast (possibly approximate) answers to shortest-path and distance queries in graphs. The tradeoff between the space requirements and the query time of distance oracles is of particular…
