It has been observed that many complex real-world networks have certain properties, such as a high clustering coefficient, a low diameter, and a power-law degree distribution. A network with a power-law degree distribution is known as…

We design an $n^{2+o(1)}$-time algorithm that constructs a cut-equivalent (Gomory-Hu) tree of a simple graph on $n$ nodes. This bound is almost-optimal in terms of $n$, and it improves on the recent $\tilde{O}(n^{2.5})$ bound by the authors…

The push-relabel algorithm is an efficient algorithm that solves the maximum flow/ minimum cut problems of its affinity to parallelization. As the size of graphs grows exponentially, researchers have used Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) to…

We prove an approximate max-multiflow min-multicut theorem for bounded treewidth graphs. In particular, we show the following: Given a treewidth-$r$ graph, there exists a (fractional) multicommodity flow of value $f$, and a multicut of…

For many algorithmic problems, traditional algorithms that optimise on the number of instructions executed prove expensive on I/Os. Novel and very different design techniques, when applied to these problems, can produce algorithms that are…

We propose a simple and computationally efficient method for dense subgraph discovery, which is a classic problem both in theory and in practice. It is well known that dense subgraphs can have strong correlation with structures of interest…

This paper presents a framework that supports the implementation of parallel solutions for the widespread parametric maximum flow computational routines used in image segmentation algorithms. The framework is based on supergraphs, a special…

Flow-based methods for local graph clustering have received significant recent attention for their theoretical cut improvement and runtime guarantees. In this work we present two improvements for using flow-based methods in real-world…

This paper studies the expressive power of artificial neural networks with rectified linear units. In order to study them as a model of real-valued computation, we introduce the concept of Max-Affine Arithmetic Programs and show equivalence…

Push-Relabel is one of the most celebrated network flow algorithms. Maintaining a pre-flow that saturates a cut, it enjoys better theoretical and empirical running time than other flow algorithms, such as Ford-Fulkerson. In practice,…

Due to their computational complexity, graph cuts for cluster detection and identification are used mostly in the form of convex relaxations. We propose to utilize the original graph cuts such as Ratio, Normalized or Cheeger Cut to detect…

Minimum cut/maximum flow (min-cut/max-flow) algorithms solve a variety of problems in computer vision and thus significant effort has been put into developing fast min-cut/max-flow algorithms. As a result, it is difficult to choose an ideal…

Finding maximum cliques in large networks is a challenging combinatorial problem with many real-world applications. We present a fast algorithm to achieve the exact solution for the maximum clique problem in large sparse networks based on…

In this paper we provide an algorithm which given any $m$-edge $n$-vertex directed graph with integer capacities at most $U$ computes a maximum $s$-$t$ flow for any vertices $s$ and $t$ in $m^{4/3+o(1)}U^{1/3}$ time. This improves upon the…

The capacity (or maximum flow) of an unicast network is known to be equal to the minimum s-t cut capacity due to the max-flow min-cut theorem. If the topology of a network (or link capacities) is dynamically changing or unknown, it is not…

The densest subgraph problem has received significant attention, both in theory and in practice, due to its applications in problems such as community detection, social network analysis, and spam detection. Due to the high cost of obtaining…

In this work, we present data stream algorithms to compute optimal splits for decision tree learning. In particular, given a data stream of observations \(x_i\) and their corresponding labels \(y_i\), without the i.i.d. assumption, the…

We study Erd\"{o}s-R\'enyi random graphs with random weights associated with each link. We generate a new ``Supernode network'' by merging all nodes connected by links having weights below the percolation threshold (percolation clusters)…

We present a simple and faster algorithm for computing fair cuts on undirected graphs, a concept introduced in recent work of Li et al. (SODA 2023). Informally, for any parameter $\epsilon>0$, a $(1+\epsilon)$-fair $(s,t)$-cut is an…

In this paper, we address the minimum-cost node-capacitated multiflow problem in an undirected network. For this problem, Babenko and Karzanov (2012) showed strongly polynomial-time solvability via the ellipsoid method. Our result is the…
