Large graphs are difficult to represent, visualize, and understand. In this paper, we introduce "gate graph" - a new approach to perform graph simplification. A gate graph provides a simplified topological view of the original graph.…
The \emph{$k$-restricted edge-connectivity} of a graph $G$, denoted by $\lambda_k(G)$, is defined as the minimum size of an edge set whose removal leaves exactly two connected components each containing at least $k$ vertices. This graph…
An $r$-simple $k$-path is a {path} in the graph of length $k$ that passes through each vertex at most $r$ times. The $r$-SIMPLE $k$-PATH problem, given a graph $G$ as input, asks whether there exists an $r$-simple $k$-path in $G$. We first…
We study the replacement paths problem in the $\mathsf{CONGEST}$ model of distributed computing. Given an $s$-$t$ shortest path $P$, the goal is to compute, for every edge $e$ in $P$, the shortest-path distance from $s$ to $t$ avoiding $e$.…
In a bipartite graph, a subgraph is an $s$-biplex if each vertex of the subgraph is adjacent to all but at most $s$ vertices on the opposite set. The enumeration of $s$-biplexes from a given graph is a fundamental problem in bipartite graph…
Traffic engineering (TE) is a fundamental task in networking. Conventionally, traffic can take any path connecting the source and destination. Emerging technologies such as segment routing, however, use logical paths going through a…
Subgraph counting is a fundamental task in network analysis. Typically, algorithmic work is on total counting, where we wish to count the total frequency of a (small) pattern subgraph in a large input data set. But many applications require…
Finding k disjoint paths (kDP) is a fundamental problem in graph analysis. For vertices s and t, paths from s to t are said to be disjoint if any two of them share no common vertex except s and t. In practice, disjoint paths are widely…
Finding a shortest path in a graph is one of the most classic problems in algorithmic and graph theory. While we dispose of quite efficient algorithms for this ordinary problem (like the Dijkstra or Bellman-Ford algorithms), some slight…
Simultaneous Geometric Embedding (SGE) asks whether, for a given collection of graphs on the same vertex set V, there is an embedding of V in the plane that admits a crossing-free drawing with straightline edges for each of the given…
The domination problem is a well-studied problem in graph theory. In this paper, we study two natural variants: the hop domination problem and the $2$-step domination problem. Let $G$ be a graph with vertex set $V$ and edge set $E$. For a…
A simple topological graph $G$ is a graph drawn in the plane so that any pair of edges have at most one point in common, which is either an endpoint or a proper crossing. $G$ is called saturated if no further edge can be added without…
We examine the possibility of approximating Maximum Vertex-Disjoint Shortest Paths. In this problem, the input is an edge-weighted (directed or undirected) $n$-vertex graph $G$ along with $k$ terminal pairs…
Graphs have been commonly used to model many applications. A natural problem which abstracts applications such as itinerary planning, playlist recommendation, and flow analysis in information networks is that of finding the heaviest path(s)…
A popular model to measure network stability is the $k$-core, that is the maximal induced subgraph in which every vertex has degree at least $k$. For example, $k$-cores are commonly used to model the unraveling phenomena in social networks.…
We consider a the minimum k-way cut problem for unweighted graphs with a size bound s on the number of cut edges allowed. Thus we seek to remove as few edges as possible so as to split a graph into k components, or report that this requires…
We present an algorithm for the Single Source Shortest Paths (SSSP) problem in \emph{$H$-minor free} graphs. For every fixed $H$, if $G$ is a graph with $n$ vertices having integer edge lengths and $s$ is a designated source vertex of $G$,…
In this paper we address the problem of computing a sparse subgraph of a weighted directed graph such that the exact distances from a designated source vertex to all other vertices are preserved under bounded weight increment. Finding a…
We study the NP-hard Shortest Path Most Vital Edges problem arising in the context of analyzing network robustness. For an undirected graph with positive integer edge lengths and two designated vertices $s$ and $t$, the goal is to delete as…
Prime path coverage is a powerful structural testing criterion, but generating all prime paths in a directed graph remains computationally challenging due to the potentially exponential number of them. Existing approaches typically rely on…
