This paper studies the Laplacian spectrum and the average effective resistance of (large) graphs that are sampled from graphons. Broadly speaking, our main finding is that the Laplacian eigenvalues of a large dense graph can be effectively…
Recently, a number of variants of the notion of cut-preserving hypergraph sparsification have been studied in the literature. These variants include directed hypergraph sparsification, submodular hypergraph sparsification, general notions…
A natural requirement of many distributed structures is fault-tolerance: after some failures, whatever remains from the structure should still be effective for whatever remains from the network. In this paper we examine spanners of general…
We study vertex sparsification for distances, in the setting of planar graphs with distortion: Given a planar graph $G$ (with edge weights) and a subset of $k$ terminal vertices, the goal is to construct an $\varepsilon$-emulator, which is…
Many real-world networks, such as transportation or trade networks, are dynamic in the sense that the edge set may change over time, but these changes are known in advance. This behavior is captured by the temporal graphs model, which has…
We study the following version of cut sparsification. Given a large edge-weighted network $G$ with $k$ terminal vertices, compress it into a smaller network $H$ with the same terminals, such that every minimum terminal cut in $H$…
In this paper we show lower bounds for a certain large class of algorithms solving the Graph Isomorphism problem, even on expander graph instances. Spielman [25] shows an algorithm for isomorphism of strongly regular expander graphs that…
It follows from the Marcus-Spielman-Srivastava proof of the Kadison-Singer conjecture that if $G=(V,E)$ is a $\Delta$-regular dense expander then there is an edge-induced subgraph $H=(V,E_H)$ of $G$ of constant maximum degree which is also…
A $t$-spanner of a graph $G$ is a subgraph $H$ in which all distances are preserved up to a multiplicative $t$ factor. A classical result of Alth\"ofer et al. is that for every integer $k$ and every graph $G$, there is a $(2k-1)$-spanner of…
Graphical data arises naturally in several modern applications, including but not limited to internet graphs, social networks, genomics and proteomics. The typically large size of graphical data argues for the importance of designing…
Given a graph $G = (V,E)$, a subgraph $H$ is an \emph{additive $+\beta$ spanner} if $\dist_H(u,v) \le \dist_G(u,v) + \beta$ for all $u, v \in V$. A \emph{pairwise spanner} is a spanner for which the above inequality only must hold for…
A recent upper bound by Le and Solomon [STOC '23] has established that every $n$-node graph has a $(1+\varepsilon)(2k-1)$-spanner with lightness $O(\varepsilon^{-1} n^{1/k})$. This bound is optimal up to its dependence on $\varepsilon$; the…
Graph sparsification aims to reduce the number of edges of a graph while maintaining its structural properties. In this paper, we propose the first general and effective information-theoretic formulation of graph sparsification, by taking…
How do real graphs evolve over time? What are ``normal'' growth patterns in social, technological, and information networks? Many studies have discovered patterns in static graphs, identifying properties in a single snapshot of a large…
We provide an algorithm that, given an $n$-vertex $m$-edge Eulerian graph with polynomially bounded weights, computes an $\breve{O}(n\log^{2} n \cdot \varepsilon^{-2})$-edge $\varepsilon$-approximate Eulerian sparsifier with high…
Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have achieved state-of-the-art performance in solving graph classification tasks. However, most GNN architectures aggregate information from all nodes and edges in a graph, regardless of their relevance to the…
This work introduces a highly-scalable spectral graph densification framework (SGL) for learning resistor networks with linear measurements, such as node voltages and currents. We show that the proposed graph learning approach is equivalent…
A graph $G$ is $\textit{universal}$ for a (finite) family $\mathcal{H}$ of graphs if every $H \in \mathcal{H}$ is a subgraph of $G$. For a given family $\mathcal{H}$, the goal is to determine the smallest number of edges an…
Ahmed, Bodwin, Sahneh, Kobourov, and Spence (WG 2020) introduced additive spanners for weighted graphs and constructed (i) a $+2W_{\max}$ spanner with $O(n^{3/2})$ edges and (ii) a $+4W_{\max}$ spanner with $\tilde{O}(n^{7/5})$ edges, and…
In an earlier paper the authors proved that limits of convergent graph sequences can be described by various structures, including certain 2-variable real functions called graphons, random graph models satisfying certain consistency…
