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:…
Flexible network design deals with building a network that guarantees some connectivity requirements between its vertices, even when some of its elements (like vertices or edges) fail. In particular, the set of edges (resp. vertices) of a…
We present approximation algorithms for network design problems in some models related to the $(p,q)$-FGC model. Adjiashvili, Hommelsheim and M\"uhlenthaler introduced the model of Flexible Graph Connectivity that we denote by FGC. Boyd,…
Graph connectivity and network design problems are among the most fundamental problems in combinatorial optimization. The minimum spanning tree problem, the two edge-connected spanning subgraph problem (2-ECSS) and the tree augmentation…
We present improved approximation algorithms for some problems in the related areas of Capacitated Network Design and Flexible Graph Connectivity. In the Cap-$k$-ECSS problem, we are given a graph $G=(V,E)$ whose edges have non-negative…
Flexible graph connectivity is a new network design model introduced by Adjiashvili. It has seen several recent algorithmic advances. Despite these, the approximability even in the setting of a single-pair $(s,t)$ is poorly understood. In…
The Survivable Network Design problem (SNDP) is a well-studied problem, motivated by the design of networks that are robust to faults under the assumption that any subset of edges up to a specific number can fail. We consider non-uniform…
In Connectivity Augmentation problems we are given a graph $H=(V,E_H)$ and an edge set $E$ on $V$, and seek a min-size edge set $J \subseteq E$ such that $H \cup J$ has larger edge/node connectivity than $H$. In the Edge-Connectivity…
In the Flexible Graph Connectivity (FGC) problem, we are given an undirected multigraph on $n$ vertices with nonnegative edge costs, where each edge is classified as either safe or unsafe. Given integer parameters $p$ and $q$, the goal in…
Increasing the connectivity of a graph is a pivotal challenge in robust network design. The weighted connectivity augmentation problem is a common version of the problem that takes link costs into consideration. The problem is then to find…
We study a core algorithmic problem in network design called ${F}$-augmentation that involves increasing the connectivity of a given family of cuts ${F}$. Over 30 years ago, Williamson et al. (STOC `93) provided a 2-approximation…
The Tree Augmentation Problem (TAP) is a fundamental network design problem in which we are given a tree and a set of additional edges, also called \emph{links}. The task is to find a set of links, of minimum size, whose addition to the…
One of the most important and well-studied settings for network design is edge-connectivity requirements. This encompasses uniform demands such as the Minimum $k$-Edge-Connected Spanning Subgraph problem ($k$-ECSS), as well as nonuniform…
Node-connectivity augmentation is a fundamental network design problem. We are given a $k$-node connected graph $G$ together with an additional set of links, and the goal is to add a cheap subset of links to $G$ to make it $(k+1)$-node…
We study budget constrained network upgradeable problems. We are given an undirected edge weighted graph $G=(V,E)$ where the weight an edge $e \in E$ can be upgraded for a cost $c(e)$. Given a budget $B$ for improvement, the goal is to find…
The weighted tree augmentation problem (WTAP) is a fundamental network design problem. We are given an undirected tree $G = (V,E)$, an additional set of edges $L$ called links and a cost vector $c \in \mathbb{R}^L_{\geq 1}$. The goal is to…

Federated training methods have gained popularity for graph learning with applications including friendship graphs of social media sites and customer-merchant interaction graphs of huge online marketplaces. However, privacy regulations…
We consider the Connectivity Augmentation Problem (CAP), a classical problem in the area of Survivable Network Design. It is about increasing the edge-connectivity of a graph by one unit in the cheapest possible way. More precisely, given a…
Graph augmentation is a fundamental and well-studied problem that arises in network optimization. We consider a new variant of this model motivated by reconfigurable communication networks. In this variant, we consider a given physical…
