Cryptographic hash functions from expander graphs were proposed by Charles, Goren, and Lauter in [CGL] based on the hardness of finding paths in the graph. In this paper, we propose a new candidate for a hash function based on the hardness…
Computing a shortest path between two nodes in an undirected unweighted graph is among the most basic algorithmic tasks. Breadth first search solves this problem in linear time, which is clearly also a lower bound in the worst case.…
We devise an algorithm that approximately computes the number of paths of length $k$ in a given directed graph with $n$ vertices up to a multiplicative error of $1 \pm \varepsilon$. Our algorithm runs in time $\varepsilon^{-2} 4^k(n+m)…
We develop two different methods to achieve subexponential time parameterized algorithms for problems on sparse directed graphs. We exemplify our approaches with two well studied problems. For the first problem, {\sc $k$-Leaf…
In this paper we show lower bounds for a certain large class of algorithms solving the Graph Isomorphism problem, even on expander graph instances. Spielman [25] shows an algorithm for isomorphism of strongly regular expander graphs that…
We say that two graphs on the same vertex set are $G$-creating if their union (the union of their edges) contains $G$ as a subgraph. Let $H_n(G)$ be the maximum number of pairwise $G$-creating Hamiltonian paths of $K_n$. Cohen, Fachini and…
Separating hash families are useful combinatorial structures which are generalizations of many well-studied objects in combinatorics, cryptography and coding theory. In this paper, using tools from graph theory and additive number theory,…
We consider the problem of deterministically factoring a univariate polynomial over a finite field under the assumption of the Extended Riemann Hypothesis (ERH). This work builds upon the line of approach first explored by Gao in $2001$.…
Expander decompositions form the basis of one of the most flexible paradigms for close-to-linear-time graph algorithms. Length-constrained expander decompositions generalize this paradigm to better work for problems with lengths, distances…
Finding problems that allow for superpolynomial quantum speedup is one of the most important tasks in quantum computation. A key challenge is identifying problem structures that can only be exploited by quantum mechanics. In this paper, we…
Expander decompositions of graphs have significantly advanced the understanding of many classical graph problems and led to numerous fundamental theoretical results. However, their adoption in practice has been hindered due to their…
Graph neural networks operate on graph-structured data via exchanging messages along edges. One limitation of this message passing paradigm is the over-squashing problem. Over-squashing occurs when messages from a node's expanded receptive…
Graph-structured data is central to many scientific and industrial domains, where the goal is often to optimize objectives defined over graph structures. Given the combinatorial complexity of graph spaces, such optimization problems are…
We study the Steiner Tree problem on the intersection graph of most natural families of geometric objects, e.g., disks, squares, polygons, etc. Given a set of $n$ objects in the plane and a subset $T$ of $t$ terminal objects, the task is to…
On an assigned graph, the problem of Multi-Agent Pathfinding (MAPF) consists in finding paths for multiple agents, avoiding collisions. Finding the minimum-length solution is known to be NP-hard, and computation times grows exponentially…
In this paper we investigate the existence of subexponential parameterized algorithms of three fundamental cycle-hitting problems in geometric graph classes. The considered problems, \textsc{Triangle Hitting} (TH), \textsc{Feedback Vertex…
Given $x, y$ on an unweighted undirected graph $G$, the goal of the pathfinding problem is to find an $x$-$y$ path. In this work, we first construct a graph $G$ based on welded trees and define a pathfinding problem in the adjacency list…
The graph isomorphism problem looks deceptively simple, but although polynomial-time algorithms exist for certain types of graphs such as planar graphs and graphs with bounded degree or eigenvalue multiplicity, its complexity class is still…
Given a graph $G$, the longest path problem asks to compute a simple path of $G$ with the largest number of vertices. This problem is the most natural optimization version of the well known and well studied Hamiltonian path problem, and…
Functional graphs (FGs) model the graph structures used to analyse the behaviour of functions from a discrete set to itself. In turn, such functions are used to study real complex phenomena evolving in time. As the systems involved can be…
