A common problem in machine learning is to rank a set of n items based on pairwise comparisons. Here ranking refers to partitioning the items into sets of pre-specified sizes according to their scores, which includes identification of the…

We consider the classic problem of Network Reliability. A network is given together with a source vertex, one or more target vertices, and probabilities assigned to each of the edges. Each edge appears in the network with its associated…

For a graph $G$ on $n$ vertices, naively sampling the position of a random walk of at time $t$ requires work $\Omega(t)$. We desire local access algorithms supporting $\text{position}(G,s,t)$ queries, which return the position of a random…

We investigate the locality number, a recently introduced structural parameter for strings (with applications in pattern matching with variables), and its connection to two important graph-parameters, cutwidth and pathwidth. These…

Companion paper [118] developed a powerful \emph{Random duality theory} (RDT) based analytical program to statistically characterize performance of \emph{descending} phase retrieval algorithms (dPR) (these include all variants of gradient…

Heat kernel pagerank is a variation of Personalized PageRank given in an exponential formulation. In this work, we present a sublinear time algorithm for approximating the heat kernel pagerank of a graph. The algorithm works by simulating…

SimRank is a popular measurement for evaluating the node-to-node similarities based on the graph topology. In recent years, single-source and top-$k$ SimRank queries have received increasing attention due to their applications in web…

Digital presence in the world of online social media entails significant privacy risks. In this work we consider a privacy threat to a social network in which an attacker has access to a subset of random walk-based node similarities, such…

We study the problem of approximating the value of the matching polynomial on graphs with edge parameter $\gamma$, where $\gamma$ takes arbitrary values in the complex plane. When $\gamma$ is a positive real, Jerrum and Sinclair showed that…

Neural message passing algorithms for semi-supervised classification on graphs have recently achieved great success. However, for classifying a node these methods only consider nodes that are a few propagation steps away and the size of…

The approximate uniform sampling of graphs with a given degree sequence is a well-known, extensively studied problem in theoretical computer science and has significant applications, e.g., in the analysis of social networks. In this work we…

We propose a randomized algorithm with query access that given a graph $G$ with arboricity $\alpha$, and average degree $d$, makes $\widetilde{O}\left(\frac{\alpha}{\varepsilon^2d}\right)$ \texttt{Degree} and…

An \emph{$\alpha$-approximate vertex fault-tolerant distance sensitivity oracle} (\emph{$\alpha$-VSDO}) for a weighted input graph $G=(V, E, w)$ and a source vertex $s \in V$ is the data structure answering an $\alpha$-approximate distance…

We introduce and analyse a Dynamic Random Graph with Vertex Removal (DRGVR) defined as follows. At every step, with probability $p > 1/2$ a new vertex is introduced, and with probability $1-p$ a vertex, chosen uniformly at random among the…

Motivated by online advertisement and exchange settings, greedy randomized algorithms for the maximum matching problem have been studied, in which the algorithm makes (random) decisions that are essentially oblivious to the input graph. Any…

The problem of maximizing the $p$-th power of a $p$-norm over a halfspace-presented polytope in $\R^d$ is a convex maximization problem which plays a fundamental role in computational convexity. It has been shown in 1986 that this problem…

In the classical Node-Disjoint Paths (NDP) problem, we are given an $n$-vertex graph $G=(V,E)$, and a collection $M=\{(s_1,t_1),\ldots,(s_k,t_k)\}$ of pairs of its vertices, called source-destination, or demand pairs. The goal is to route…

Computing the principal component (PC) of the adjacency matrix of an undirected graph has several applications ranging from identifying key vertices for influence maximization and controlling diffusion processes, to discovering densely…

This note extends the analysis of incremental PageRank in [B. Bahmani, A. Chowdhury, and A. Goel. Fast Incremental and Personalized PageRank. VLDB 2011]. In that work, the authors prove a running time of $O(\frac{nR}{\epsilon^2} \ln(m))$ to…

A graph $G$ is \emph{locally irregular} if no two of its adjacent vertices have the same degree. In [Fioravantes et al. Complexity of finding maximum locally irregular induced subgraph. {\it SWAT}, 2022], the authors introduced and studied…
