Motivated by the increasing need to understand the algorithmic foundations of distributed large-scale graph computations, we study a number of fundamental graph problems in a message-passing model for distributed computing where $k \geq 2$…
The minimum degree spanning tree (MDST) problem requires the construction of a spanning tree $T$ for graph $G=(V,E)$ with $n$ vertices, such that the maximum degree $d$ of $T$ is the smallest among all spanning trees of $G$. In this paper,…
In Part II, we study the unweighted Tree Augmentation Problem (TAP) via the Lasserre (Sum~of~Squares) system. We prove that the integrality ratio of an SDP relaxation (the Lasserre tightening of an LP relaxation) is $\leq…
In the minimum $k$-edge-connected spanning subgraph ($k$-ECSS) problem the goal is to find the minimum weight subgraph resistant to up to $k-1$ edge failures. This is a central problem in network design, and a natural generalization of the…
The minimum-weight $2$-edge-connected spanning subgraph (2-ECSS) problem is a natural generalization of the well-studied minimum-weight spanning tree (MST) problem, and it has received considerable attention in the area of network design.…
Graph connectivity and network design problems are among the most fundamental problems in combinatorial optimization. The minimum spanning tree problem, the two edge-connected spanning subgraph problem (2-ECSS) and the tree augmentation…
The \emph{Steiner tree} problem is one of the fundamental and classical problems in combinatorial optimization. In this paper, we study this problem in the $\mathcal{CONGESTED}$ $\mathcal{CLIQUE}$ model of distributed computing and present…
This paper focuses on finding a spanning tree of a graph to maximize the number of its internal vertices. We present an approximation algorithm for this problem which can achieve a performance ratio $\frac{4}{3}$ on undirected simple…
Increasing the connectivity of a graph is a pivotal challenge in robust network design. The weighted connectivity augmentation problem is a common version of the problem that takes link costs into consideration. The problem is then to find…
Bounded-angle (minimum) spanning trees were first introduced in the context of wireless networks with directional antennas. They are reminiscent of bounded-degree spanning trees, which have received significant attention. Let $P =…
We study the unweighted Tree Augmentation Problem (TAP) via the Lasserre (Sum of Squares) system. We prove an approximation guarantee of ($1.8+\epsilon$) relative to an SDP relaxation, which matches the combinatorial approximation guarantee…
In Connectivity Augmentation problems we are given a graph $H=(V,E_H)$ and an edge set $E$ on $V$, and seek a min-size edge set $J \subseteq E$ such that $H \cup J$ has larger edge/node connectivity than $H$. In the Edge-Connectivity…
We study budget constrained network upgradeable problems. We are given an undirected edge weighted graph $G=(V,E)$ where the weight an edge $e \in E$ can be upgraded for a cost $c(e)$. Given a budget $B$ for improvement, the goal is to find…
Path optimization is a fundamental concern across various real-world scenarios, ranging from traffic congestion issues to efficient data routing over the internet. The Traffic Assignment Problem (TAP) is a classic continuous optimization…
In this paper, we revisit the classic approximate All-Pairs Shortest Paths (APSP) problem in undirected graphs. For unweighted graphs, we provide an algorithm for $2$-approximate APSP in $\tilde O(n^{2.5-r}+n^{\omega(r)})$ time, for any…
We present time-efficient distributed algorithms for decomposing graphs with large edge or vertex connectivity into multiple spanning or dominating trees, respectively. As their primary applications, these decompositions allow us to achieve…
We study a distributed learning problem in which $n$ agents, each with potentially heterogeneous local data, collaboratively minimize the sum of their local cost functions via peer-to-peer communication. We propose a novel algorithm,…
We describe a distributed randomized algorithm computing approximate distances and routes that approximate shortest paths. Let n denote the number of nodes in the graph, and let HD denote the hop diameter of the graph, i.e., the diameter of…
The Matching Augmentation Problem (MAP) has recently received significant attention as an important step towards better approximation algorithms for finding cheap $2$-edge connected subgraphs. This has culminated in a…
In the Priority Steiner Tree (PST) problem, we are given an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ with a source $s \in V$ and terminals $T \subseteq V \setminus \{s\}$, where each terminal $v \in T$ requires a nonnegative priority $P(v)$. The goal is…
