Cliques, or fully connected subgraphs, are among the most important and well-studied graph motifs in network science. We consider the problem of finding a statisti- cally anomalous clique hidden in a large network. There are two parts to…

In distributed networks, it is often useful for the nodes to be aware of dense subgraphs, e.g., such a dense subgraph could reveal dense subtructures in otherwise sparse graphs (e.g. the World Wide Web or social networks); these might…

We consider a variant of the clustering problem for a complete weighted graph. The aim is to partition the nodes into clusters maximizing the sum of the edge weights within the clusters. This problem is known as the clique partitioning…

A strong clique in a graph is a clique intersecting every maximal independent set. We study the computational complexity of six algorithmic decision problems related to strong cliques in graphs and almost completely determine their…

Mining dense subgraphs is an important primitive across a spectrum of graph-mining tasks. In this work, we formally establish that two recurring characteristics of real-world graphs, namely heavy-tailed degree distributions and large…

In the last decade, algorithmic frameworks based on a structural graph parameter called mim-width have been developed to solve generally NP-hard problems. However, it is known that the frameworks cannot be applied to the Clique problem, and…

We prove three new lower bounds for graph connectivity in the $1$-bit broadcast congested clique model, BCC$(1)$. First, in the KT-$0$ version of BCC$(1)$, in which nodes are aware of neighbors only through port numbers, we show an…

Finding dense subnetworks, with density based on edges or more complex structures, such as subgraphs or $k$-cliques, is a fundamental algorithmic problem with many applications. While the problem has been studied extensively in static…

Community detection is a discovery tool used by network scientists to analyze the structure of real-world networks. It seeks to identify natural divisions that may exist in the input networks that partition the vertices into coherent…

We study graph realization problems from a distributed perspective and we study it in the node capacitated clique (NCC) model of distributed computing, recently introduced for representing peer-to-peer networks. We focus on two central…

We introduce a framework for proving lower bounds on computational problems over distributions against algorithms that can be implemented using access to a statistical query oracle. For such algorithms, access to the input distribution is…

Finding the largest clique is a notoriously hard problem, even on random graphs. It is known that the clique number of a random graph G(n,1/2) is almost surely either k or k+1, where k = 2log n - 2log(log n) - 1. However, a simple greedy…

Graph clustering is a fundamental problem that has been extensively studied both in theory and practice. The problem has been defined in several ways in literature and most of them have been proven to be NP-Hard. Due to their high practical…

Balliu et al. (DISC 2020) classified the hardness of solving binary labeling problems with distributed graph algorithms; in these problems the task is to select a subset of edges in a $2$-colored tree in which white nodes of degree $d$ and…

Finding dense subgraphs in a graph is a fundamental graph mining task, with applications in several fields. Algorithms for identifying dense subgraphs are used in biology, in finance, in spam detection, etc. Standard formulations of this…

Consider a distributed task where the communication network is fixed but the local inputs given to the nodes of the distributed system may change over time. In this work, we explore the following question: if some of the local inputs…

Consider an Erd\"os-Renyi random graph in which each edge is present independently with probability 1/2, except for a subset $\sC_N$ of the vertices that form a clique (a completely connected subgraph). We consider the problem of…

High triangle density -- the graph property stating that a constant fraction of two-hop paths belong to a triangle -- is a common signature of social networks. This paper studies triangle-dense graphs from a structural perspective. We prove…

Finding densely connected subsets of vertices in an unsupervised setting, called clustering or community detection, is one of the fundamental problems in network science. The edge clustering approach instead detects communities by…

It was experimentally observed that the majority of real-world networks follow power law degree distribution. The aim of this paper is to study the algorithmic complexity of such "typical" networks. The contribution of this work is twofold.…
