We present an efficient algorithm for the min-max correlation clustering problem. The input is a complete graph where edges are labeled as either positive $(+)$ or negative $(-)$, and the objective is to find a clustering that minimizes the…

The Tree Augmentation Problem (TAP) is: given a connected graph $G=(V,{\cal E})$ and an edge set $E$ on $V$ find a minimum size subset of edges $F \subseteq E$ such that $(V,{\cal E} \cup F)$ is $2$-edge-connected. In the conference version…

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…

A neat 1972 result of Pohl asserts that [3n/2]-2 comparisons are sufficient, and also necessary in the worst case, for finding both the minimum and the maximum of an n-element totally ordered set. The set is accessed via an oracle for…

The MEG (minimum equivalent graph) problem is, given a directed graph, to find a small subset of the edges that maintains all reachability relations between nodes. The problem is NP-hard. This paper gives an approximation algorithm with…

Given a large graph G = (V,E) with millions of nodes and edges, how do we compute its connected components efficiently? Recent work addresses this problem in map-reduce, where a fundamental trade-off exists between the number of map-reduce…

We study two related problems: finding a set of k vertices and minimum number of edges (kmin) and finding a graph with at least m' edges and minimum number of vertices (mvms). Goldschmidt and Hochbaum \cite{GH97} show that the mvms problem…

The basic goal of survivable network design is to build a cheap network that maintains the connectivity between given sets of nodes despite the failure of a few edges/nodes. The Connectivity Augmentation Problem (CAP) is arguably one of the…

Let $G$ be a nontrivial connected graph of order $n$ and let $k$ be an integer with $2\leq k\leq n$. For a set $S$ of $k$ vertices of $G$, let $\kappa (S)$ denote the maximum number $\ell$ of edge-disjoint trees $T_1,T_2,...,T_\ell$ in $G$…

In the Maximum Connectivity Improvement (MCI) problem, we are given a directed graph $G=(V,E)$ and an integer $B$ and we are asked to find $B$ new edges to be added to $G$ in order to maximize the number of connected pairs of vertices in…

We study an NP-hard problem motivated by energy-efficiently maintaining the connectivity of a symmetric wireless communication network: Given an edge-weighted $n$-vertex graph, find a connected spanning subgraph of minimum cost, where the…

In this paper, we investigate joint resource allocation and power control mechanisms for two-cell networks, where each cell has some sub-channels which should be allocated to some users. The main goal persuaded in the current work is…

By generalizing a recent result of Hong, Liu, and Lai on characterizing the degree-sequences of simple strongly connected directed graphs, a characterization is provided for degree-sequences of simple $k$-node-connected digraphs. More…

We consider the matching augmentation problem (MAP), where a matching of a graph needs to be extended into a $2$-edge-connected spanning subgraph by adding the minimum number of edges to it. We present a polynomial-time algorithm with an…

We present an algorithm for maintaining maximal matching in a graph under addition and deletion of edges. Our data structure is randomized that takes O(log n) expected amortized time for each edge update where n is the number of vertices in…

In this paper, we propose new techniques for solving geometric optimization problems involving interpoint distances of a point set in the plane. Given a set $P$ of $n$ points in the plane and an integer $1 \leq k \leq \binom{n}{2}$, the…

In this paper, we use composite optimization algorithms to solve sigmoid networks. We equivalently transfer the sigmoid networks to a convex composite optimization and propose the composite optimization algorithms based on the linearized…

In the Minimum k-Union problem (MkU) we are given a set system with n sets and are asked to select k sets in order to minimize the size of their union. Despite being a very natural problem, it has received surprisingly little attention: the…

We study the upgrading version of the maximal covering location problem with edge length modifications on networks. This problem aims at locating p facilities on the vertices (of the network) so as to maximise coverage, considering that the…

The Ring Loading Problem is an optimal routing problem arising in the planning of optical communication networks which use bidirectional SONET rings. In mathematical terms, it is an unsplittable multicommodity flow problem on undirected…
