We consider a new problem of designing a network with small $s$-$t$ effective resistance. In this problem, we are given an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$, two designated vertices $s,t \in V$, and a budget $k$. The goal is to choose a subgraph…
We abstract and study \emph{reachability preservers}, a graph-theoretic primitive that has been implicit in prior work on network design. Given a directed graph $G = (V, E)$ and a set of \emph{demand pairs} $P \subseteq V \times V$, a…
In the Survivable Network Design Problem (SNDP), the input is an edge-weighted (di)graph $G$ and an integer $r_{uv}$ for every pair of vertices $u,v\in V(G)$. The objective is to construct a subgraph $H$ of minimum weight which contains…
In the {\em capacitated} survivable network design problem (Cap-SNDP), we are given an undirected multi-graph where each edge has a capacity and a cost. The goal is to find a minimum cost subset of edges that satisfies a given set of…
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…
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 2-Vertex-Connected Spanning Subgraph problem (2VCSS) is among the most basic NP-hard (Survivable) Network Design problems: we are given an (unweighted) undirected graph $G$. Our goal is to find a spanning subgraph $S$ of $G$ with the…
Adjiashvili introduced network design in a non-uniform fault model: the edge set of a given graph is partitioned into safe and unsafe edges. A vertex pair $(s,t)$ is $(p,q)$-flex-connected if $s$ and $t$ have $p$ edge-connectivity even…
We consider network design problems in which we are given a graph and seek a min-size $2$-connected subgraph that satisfies a prescribed property. $\bullet$ In the 1-Connectivity Augmentation problem the goal is to augment a connected graph…
We investigate problems addressing combined connectivity augmentation and orientations settings. We give a polynomial-time 6-approximation algorithm for finding a minimum cost subgraph of an undirected graph $G$ that admits an orientation…
Emerging reconfigurable optical communication technologies allow to enhance datacenter topologies with demand-aware links optimized towards traffic patterns. This paper studies the algorithmic problem of jointly optimizing topology and…
In this note we describe an application of low-high orders in fault-tolerant network design. Baswana et al. [DISC 2015] study the following reachability problem. We are given a flow graph $G = (V, A)$ with start vertex $s$, and a spanning…
We consider network design problems for information networks where routers can replicate data but cannot alter it. This functionality allows the network to eliminate data-redundancy in traffic, thereby saving on routing costs. We consider…
We consider low connectivity variants of the Survivable Network with Minimum Number of Steiner Points (SN-MSP) problem: given a finite set $R$ of terminals in a metric space (M,d), a subset $B \subseteq R$ of "unstable" terminals, and…
We consider the Degree-Bounded Survivable Network Design Problem: the objective is to find a minimum cost subgraph satisfying the given connectivity requirements as well as the degree bounds on the vertices. If we denote the upper bound on…
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 consider the problem of finding a minimum edge cost subgraph of a graph satisfying both given node-connectivity requirements and degree upper bounds on nodes. We present an iterative rounding algorithm of the biset LP relaxation for this…
We study two popular ways to sketch the shortest path distances of an input graph. The first is distance preservers, which are sparse subgraphs that agree with the distances of the original graph on a given set of demand pairs. Prior work…
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…
Learning to predict solutions to real-valued combinatorial graph problems promises efficient approximations. As demonstrated based on the NP-hard edge clique cover number, recurrent neural networks (RNNs) are particularly suited for this…
