Statistical inference on graphs is a burgeoning field in the applied and theoretical statistics communities, as well as throughout the wider world of science, engineering, business, etc. In many applications, we are faced with the reality…

We consider the following two variants of the Capacitated $k$-Edge Connected Subgraph} (Cap-k-ECS) problem. Near Min-Cuts Cover: Given a graph $G=(V,E)$ with edge costs and $E_0 \subseteq E$, find a min-cost edge set $J \subseteq E…

Given an ordering of the vertices of a graph, the cost of covering an edge is the smaller number of its two ends. The minimum sum vertex cover problem asks for an ordering that minimizes the total cost of covering all edges. We consider…

A broadcast graph is a connected graph, $G=(V,E)$, $ |V |=n$, in which each vertex can complete broadcasting of one message within at most $t=\lceil \log n\rceil$ time units. A minimum broadcast graph on $n$ vertices is a broadcast graph…

This paper investigates the energy complexity of distributed graph problems in multi-hop radio networks, where the energy cost of an algorithm is measured by the maximum number of awake rounds of a vertex. Recent works revealed that some…

An obstacle representation of a graph $G$ is a set of points in the plane representing the vertices of $G$, together with a set of polygonal obstacles such that two vertices of $G$ are connected by an edge in $G$ if and only if the line…

We study two fundamental problems in communication, Document Exchange (DE) and Error Correcting Code (ECC). In the first problem, two parties hold two strings, and one party tries to learn the other party's string through communication. In…

Several problems such as network intrusion, community detection, and disease outbreak can be described by observations attributed to nodes or edges of a graph. In these applications presence of intrusion, community or disease outbreak is…

Let $G$ be a strongly connected directed graph. We consider the following three problems, where we wish to compute the smallest strongly connected spanning subgraph of $G$ that maintains respectively: the $2$-edge-connected blocks of $G$…

For an edge-colored graph $G$, a set $F$ of edges of $G$ is called a \emph{proper cut} if $F$ is an edge-cut of $G$ and any pair of adjacent edges in $F$ are assigned by different colors. An edge-colored graph is \emph{proper disconnected}…

Given a graph $G$, the Connected Vertex Cover problem (CVC) asks to find a minimum cardinality vertex cover of $G$ that induces a connected subgraph. In this paper we describe some approaches to solve the CVC problem exactly. First, we give…

Our input is a directed graph $G = (V,E)$ on $n$ vertices and $m$ edges with a designated root vertex $r$ and a function $cost: E \rightarrow \mathbb{R}_{\geq 0}$. The problem is to maintain a min-cost arborescence in $G$ in the presence of…

The distinguishing number $D(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the least integer $d$ such that $G$ has an vertex labeling with $d$ labels that is preserved only by a trivial automorphism. The minimum size of a label class in such a labeling of $G$ with…

Many load balancing problems that arise in scientific computing applications ask to partition a graph with weights on the vertices and costs on the edges into a given number of almost equally-weighted parts such that the maximum boundary…

Given a complete graph $K_{n}=(V, E)$ with non-negative edge costs $c\in {\mathbb R}^{E}$, the problem $2EC$ is that of finding a 2-edge connected spanning multi-subgraph of $K_{n}$ of minimum cost. The integrality gap $\alpha\text{2EC}$ of…

We study the Minimum Crossing Number problem: given an $n$-vertex graph $G$, the goal is to find a drawing of $G$ in the plane with minimum number of edge crossings. This is one of the central problems in topological graph theory, that has…

We present near-optimal algorithms for detecting small vertex cuts in the CONGEST model of distributed computing. Despite extensive research in this area, our understanding of the vertex connectivity of a graph is still incomplete,…

We study the $k$-edge connectivity problem on undirected graphs in the distributed sketching model, where we have $n$ nodes and a referee. Each node sends a single message to the referee based on its 1-hop neighborhood in the graph, and the…

The paper presents an algorithm for minimum vertex cover problem, which is an NP-Complete problem. The algorithm computes a minimum vertex cover of each input simple graph. Tested by the attached MATLAB programs, Stage 1 of the algorithm is…

Consider the following problem: given a graph with edge costs and a subset Q of vertices, find a minimum-cost subgraph in which there are two edge-disjoint paths connecting every pair of vertices in Q. The problem is a failure-resilient…
