Given an undirected edge-weighted graph $G=(V,E)$ with $m$ edges and $n$ vertices, the minimum cut problem asks to find a subset of vertices $S$ such that the total weight of all edges between $S$ and $V \setminus S$ is minimized. Karger's…
It is unlikely that the discrete Fr\'echet distance between two curves of length $n$ can be computed in strictly subquadratic time. We thus consider the setting where one of the curves, $P$, is known in advance. In particular, we wish to…
The minimum cut problem in an undirected and weighted graph $G$ is to find the minimum total weight of a set of edges whose removal disconnects $G$. We completely characterize the quantum query and time complexity of the minimum cut problem…
Partitioning oracles were introduced by Hassidim et al. (FOCS 2009) as a generic tool for constant-time algorithms. For any epsilon > 0, a partitioning oracle provides query access to a fixed partition of the input bounded-degree minor-free…
Despite the ample availability of graph data, obtaining vertex labels is a tedious and expensive task. Therefore, it is desirable to learn from a few labeled vertices only. Existing few-shot learners assume a class oracle, which provides…
Let $G=(V,E)$ be a graph on $n$ vertices and $R$ be a set of pairs of vertices in $V$ called \emph{requests}. A \emph{multicut} is a subset $F$ of $E$ such that every request $xy$ of $R$ is cut by $F$, \i.e. every $xy$-path of $G$…
An instance of the Connected Maximum Cut problem consists of an undirected graph G = (V, E) and the goal is to find a subset of vertices S $\subseteq$ V that maximizes the number of edges in the cut \delta(S) such that the induced graph…
We present a parallel algorithm for computing the minimum s-t cut in structured 3-dimensional proper order graphs arising from image segmentation problems. Proper order graphs are multi-column structures where vertices are arranged in…
Given a partition of an n element set into equivalence classes, we consider time-space tradeoffs for representing it to support the query that asks whether two given elements are in the same equivalence class. This has various applications…
The NP-hard Odd Cycle Transversal problem asks for a minimum vertex set whose removal from an undirected input graph $G$ breaks all odd cycles, and thereby yields a bipartite graph. The problem is well-known to be fixed-parameter tractable…
{\sc Vertex $(s, t)$-Cut} and {\sc Vertex Multiway Cut} are two fundamental graph separation problems in algorithmic graph theory. We study matroidal generalizations of these problems, where in addition to the usual input, we are given a…
A stable cutset is a set of vertices $S$ of a connected graph, that is pairwise non-adjacent and when deleting $S$, the graph becomes disconnected. Determining the existence of a stable cutset in a graph is known to be NP-complete. In this…
We consider approximate {\em path-reporting} distance oracles, distance labeling and labeled routing with extremely low space requirement, for general undirected graphs. For distance oracles, we show how to break the n\log n space bound of…
Coresets have become an invaluable tool for solving $k$-means and kernel $k$-means clustering problems on large datasets with small numbers of clusters. On the other hand, spectral clustering works well on sparse graphs and has recently…
An $f$-edge fault-tolerant distance sensitive oracle ($f$-DSO) with stretch $\sigma \ge 1$ is a data structure that preprocesses a given undirected, unweighted graph $G$ with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, and a positive integer $f$. When…
Distance oracles are data structures that provide fast (possibly approximate) answers to shortest-path and distance queries in graphs. The tradeoff between the space requirements and the query time of distance oracles is of particular…
We study leaf-to-ancestor path-minimum queries on a rooted, weighted tree in the oracle model, where the only allowed value operation is a comparison oracle on edge (or node) weights. We give a static data structure that, after O(n log h)…
Given a graph $G$ that can be partitioned into $k$ disjoint expanders with outer conductance upper bounded by $\epsilon\ll 1$, can we efficiently construct a small space data structure that allows quickly classifying vertices of $G$…
The sparsest cut problem consists of identifying a small set of edges that breaks the graph into balanced sets of vertices. The normalized cut problem balances the total degree, instead of the size, of the resulting sets. Applications of…
We develop new $(1+\epsilon)$-approximation algorithms for finding the global minimum edge-cut in a directed edge-weighted graph, and for finding the global minimum vertex-cut in a directed vertex-weighted graph. Our algorithms are…
