In minimum power network design problems we are given an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ with edge costs $\{c_e:e \in E\}$. The goal is to find an edge set $F\subseteq E$ that satisfies a prescribed property of minimum power $p_c(F)=\sum_{v \in…
In this thesis, we present new techniques to deal with fundamental algorithmic graph problems where graphs are directed and partially dynamic, i.e. undergo either a sequence of edge insertions or deletions: - Single-Source Reachability…
In this paper, we study the Minimum Weight Pairwise Distance Preservers (MWPDP) problem. Consider a positively weighted undirected/directed connected graph $G = (V, E, c)$ and a subset $P$ of pairs of vertices, also called demand pairs. A…
We investigate a process of joining $k$ random spanning trees on a fixed clique $K_n$. The joined trees may not be disjoint and multiple edges are replaced by one simple edge. This process produces a simple graph $G$ on $n$~vertices with an…
Let $G = (V,E)$ be a simple, undirected and connected graph. A connected dominating set $S \subseteq V$ is a secure connected dominating set of $G$, if for each $ u \in V\setminus S$, there exists $v\in S$ such that $(u,v) \in E$ and the…
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…
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…
We present approximation algorithms for several network design problems in the model of Flexible Graph Connectivity (Adjiashvili, Hommelsheim and M\"uhlenthaler, "Flexible Graph Connectivity", Math. Program. pp. 1-33 (2021), and IPCO 2020:…
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,…
While much of network design focuses mostly on cost (number or weight of edges), node degrees have also played an important role. They have traditionally either appeared as an objective, to minimize the maximum degree (e.g., the Minimum…
Connectivity (or equivalently, unweighted maximum flow) is an important measure in graph theory and combinatorial optimization. Given a graph $G$ with vertices $s$ and $t$, the connectivity $\lambda(s,t)$ from $s$ to $t$ is defined to be…
In the k-edge-connected spanning subgraph problem we are given a graph (V, E) and costs for each edge, and want to find a minimum-cost subset F of E such that (V, F) is k-edge-connected. We show there is a constant eps > 0 so that for all k…
Shortest paths problems are subject to extensive studies in classic distributed models such as the CONGEST or Congested Clique. These models dictate how nodes may communicate in order to determine shortest paths in a distributed input…
The Elementary Shortest-Path Problem(ESPP) seeks a minimum cost path from s to t that visits each vertex at most once. The presence of negative-cost cycles renders the problem NP-hard. We present a probabilistic method for finding…
We study the electrical distribution network reconfiguration problem, defined as follows. We are given an undirected graph with a root vertex, demand at each non-root vertex, and resistance on each edge. Then, we want to find a spanning…
In a directed graph $G$ with non-correlated edge lengths and costs, the \emph{network design problem with bounded distances} asks for a cost-minimal spanning subgraph subject to a length bound for all node pairs. We give a bi-criteria…
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 $G$…
Random $s$-intersection graphs have recently received much interest in a wide range of application areas. Broadly speaking, a random $s$-intersection graph is constructed by first assigning each vertex a set of items in some random manner,…
In this paper, we study a survivable network design problem on directed graphs, 2-Connected Directed Steiner Tree (2-DST): given an $n$-vertex weighted directed graph, a root $r$, and a set of $h$ terminals $S$, find a min-cost subgraph $H$…
We study the vertex-decremental Single-Source Shortest Paths (SSSP) problem: given an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ with lengths $\ell(e)\geq 1$ on its edges and a source vertex $s$, we need to support (approximate) shortest-path queries in…
