Hypergraph clustering is a basic algorithmic primitive for analyzing complex datasets and systems characterized by multiway interactions, such as group email conversations, groups of co-purchased retail products, and co-authorship data.…

Graph compression or sparsification is a basic information-theoretic and computational question. A major open problem in this research area is whether $(1+\epsilon)$-approximate cut-preserving vertex sparsifiers with size close to the…

We consider the classical Minimum Balanced Cut problem: given a graph $G$, compute a partition of its vertices into two subsets of roughly equal volume, while minimizing the number of edges connecting the subsets. We present the first {\em…

We present faster algorithms for approximate maximum flow in undirected graphs with good separator structures, such as bounded genus, minor free, and geometric graphs. Given such a graph with $n$ vertices, $m$ edges along with a recursive…

We study dynamic graph algorithms in the Massively Parallel Computation model, which was inspired by practical data processing systems. Our goal is to provide algorithms that can efficiently handle large batches of edge insertions and…

We present a deterministic (global) mincut algorithm for weighted, undirected graphs that runs in $m^{1+o(1)}$ time, answering an open question of Karger from the 1990s. To obtain our result, we de-randomize the construction of the…

As massive graphs become more prevalent, there is a rapidly growing need for scalable algorithms that solve classical graph problems, such as maximum matching and minimum vertex cover, on large datasets. For massive inputs, several…

Given a graph $G=(V,E)$ and an integer $k \ge 1$, a $k$-hop dominating set $D$ of $G$ is a subset of $V$, such that, for every vertex $v \in V$, there exists a node $u \in D$ whose hop-distance from $v$ is at most $k$. A $k$-hop dominating…

Minification is a widely-accepted technique which aims at reducing the size of the code transmitted over the web. We study the problem of minifying Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) --- the de facto language for styling web documents.…

A single-commodity congestion approximator for a graph is a compact data structure that approximately predicts the edge congestion required to route any set of single-commodity flow demands in a network. A hierarchical congestion…

In this paper we propose and study a new complexity model for approximation algorithms. The main motivation are practical problems over large data sets that need to be solved many times for different scenarios, e.g., many multicast trees…

We study (s,t)-cuts of second minimum capacity and present the following algorithmic and graph-theoretic results. 1. Vazirani and Yannakakis [ICALP 1992] designed the first algorithm for computing an (s,t)-cut of second minimum capacity…

We address counting and optimization variants of multicriteria global min-cut and size-constrained min-$k$-cut in hypergraphs. 1. For an $r$-rank $n$-vertex hypergraph endowed with $t$ hyperedge-cost functions, we show that the number of…

Designing dynamic graph algorithms against an adaptive adversary is a major goal in the field of dynamic graph algorithms. While a few such algorithms are known for spanning trees, matchings, and single-source shortest paths, very little…

Given a graph $G=(V, E)$, a connected sides cut $(U, V\backslash U)$ or $\delta (U)$ is the set of edges of E linking all vertices of U to all vertices of $V\backslash U$ such that the induced subgraphs $G[U]$ and $G[V\backslash U]$ are…

For an undirected edge-weighted graph $G$ and a set $R$ of pairs of vertices called pairs of terminals, a multicut is a set of edges such that removing these edges from $G$ disconnects each pair in $R$. We provide an algorithm computing a…

Visual rendering of graphs is a key task in the mapping of complex network data. Although most graph drawing algorithms emphasize aesthetic appeal, certain applications such as travel-time maps place more importance on visualization of…

Given a graph $G$, the maximal induced subgraphs problem asks to enumerate all maximal induced subgraphs of $G$ that belong to a certain hereditary graph class. While its optimization version, known as the minimum vertex deletion problem in…

Distributed optimization algorithms are frequently faced with solving sub-problems on disjoint connected parts of a network. Unfortunately, the diameter of these parts can be significantly larger than the diameter of the underlying network,…

A common way of partitioning graphs is through minimum cuts. One drawback of classical minimum cut methods is that they tend to produce small groups, which is why more balanced variants such as normalized and ratio cuts have seen more…
