We consider the problem of testing graph cluster structure: given access to a graph $G=(V, E)$, can we quickly determine whether the graph can be partitioned into a few clusters with good inner conductance, or is far from any such graph?…
This paper shows the weighted matching problem on general graphs can be solved in time $O(n(m + n\log n))$ for $n$ and $m$ the number of vertices and edges, respectively. This was previously known only for bipartite graphs. The crux is a…
This paper tightens the best known analysis of Hein's 1989 algorithm to infer the topology of a weighted tree based on the lengths of paths between its leaves. It shows that the number of length queries required for a degree-$k$ tree of $n$…
We describe algorithms to efficiently compute minimum $(s,t)$-cuts and global minimum cuts of undirected surface-embedded graphs. Given an edge-weighted undirected graph $G$ with $n$ vertices embedded on an orientable surface of genus $g$,…
A connected graph has tree-depth at most $k$ if it is a subgraph of the closure of a rooted tree whose height is at most $k$. We give an algorithm which for a given $n$-vertex graph $G$, in time $\mathcal{O}(1.9602^n)$ computes the…
We consider labeling nodes of a directed graph for reachability queries. A reachability labeling scheme for such a graph assigns a binary string, called a label, to each node. Then, given the labels of nodes $u$ and $v$ and no other…
For a fixed finite collection of graphs ${\cal F}$, the ${\cal F}$-M-DELETION problem asks, given an $n$-vertex input graph $G,$ for the minimum number of vertices that intersect all minor models in $G$ of the graphs in ${\cal F}$. by…
A graph is chordal if it contains no induced cycle of length four or more. While finite chordal graphs are precisely those admitting tree-decompositions into cliques, this fails for infinite graphs. We establish two results extending the…
We characterize classes of graphs closed under taking vertex-minors and having no $P_n$ and no disjoint union of $n$ copies of the $1$-subdivision of $K_{1,n}$ for some $n$. Our characterization is described in terms of a tree of radius $2$…
Let $G$ be a finite graph and $\kappa(G)$ the vertex connectivity of $G$. A chordal graph $G$ is called chordal$^*$ if no vertex of $G$ is adjacent to all other vertices of $G$. Using the syzygy theory in commutative algebra, it is proved…
Leaf powers and $k$-leaf powers have been studied for over 20 years, but there are still several aspects of this graph class that are poorly understood. One such aspect is the leaf rank of leaf powers, i.e. the smallest number $k$ such that…
We study minimum degree conditions that guarantee that an $n$-vertex graph is rigid in $\mathbb{R}^d$. For small values of $d$, we obtain a tight bound: for $d = O(\sqrt{n})$, every $n$-vertex graph with minimum degree at least $(n+d)/2 -…
We give almost-linear-time algorithms for approximating rooted minimum cut and maximum arborescence packing in directed graphs, two problems that are dual to each other [Edm73]. More specifically, for an $n$-vertex, $m$-edge directed graph…
We study the structural constraint of random scale-free networks that determines possible combinations of the degree exponent $\gamma$ and the upper cutoff $k_c$ in the thermodynamic limit. We employ the framework of graphicality…
We explore labeled chip-firing on undirected $k$-ary trees, trees where every vertex has degree $k+1$. First, we extend known results for binary trees from Musiker and Nguyen, including the endgame and the locations of the smallest and…
In this work, we prove a $\tilde{\Omega}(\lg^{3/2} n )$ unconditional lower bound on the maximum of the query time and update time for dynamic data structures supporting reachability queries in $n$-node directed acyclic graphs under edge…
mim-width is a recent graph width measure that has seen applications in graph algorithms and problems related to propositional satisfiability. In this paper, we show linear lower bounds for the mim-width of strongly chordal split graphs,…
Broadcasting and convergecasting are pivotal services in distributed systems, in particular, in wireless ad-hoc and sensor networks, which are characterized by time- varying communication graphs. We study the question of whether it is…
Connected Vertex Cover is one of the classical problems of computer science, already mentioned in the monograph of Garey and Johnson. Although the optimization and decision variants of finding connected vertex covers of minimum size or…
