In the graph label selection problem, one is given an $n$-vertex graph and a budget $k$, and seeks to select $k$ vertices whose labels enable accurate prediction of the labels on the remaining vertices. This problem formalizes distilling a…

An adjacency sketching or implicit labeling scheme for a family $\cal F$ of graphs is a method that defines for any $n$ vertex $G \in \cal F$ an assignment of labels to each vertex in $G$, so that the labels of two vertices tell you whether…

In this paper we study fair variants of MSO$_1$ definable problems parameterized by cluster vertex deletion number, i.e., the smallest number of vertices required to be removed from the graph such that what remains is a collection of…

Given a graph $G=(V,E)$ and a positive integer $t\geq2$, the task in the vertex cover $P_t$ ($VCP_t$) problem is to find a minimum subset of vertices $F\subseteq V$ such that every path of order $t$ in $G$ contains at least one vertex from…

In the sensitive distance oracle problem, there are three phases. We first preprocess a given directed graph $G$ with $n$ nodes and integer weights from $[-W,W]$. Second, given a single batch of $f$ edge insertions and deletions, we update…

The notion of shortcut partition, introduced recently by Chang, Conroy, Le, Milenkovi\'c, Solomon, and Than [CCLMST23], is a new type of graph partition into low-diameter clusters. Roughly speaking, the shortcut partition guarantees that…

In this work, we present a fast distributed algorithm for local potential problems: these are graph problems where the task is to find a locally optimal solution where no node can unilaterally improve the utility in its local neighborhood…

In this paper, we consider two fundamental cut approximation problems on large graphs. We prove new lower bounds for both problems that are optimal up to logarithmic factors. The first problem is to approximate cuts in balanced directed…

In this work we derandomize two central results in graph algorithms, replacement paths and distance sensitivity oracles (DSOs) matching in both cases the running time of the randomized algorithms. For the replacement paths problem, let G =…

We study graph ordering problems with a min-max objective. A classical problem of this type is cutwidth, where given a graph we want to order its vertices such that the number of edges crossing any point is minimized. We give a $…

The role of unique node identifiers in network computing is well understood as far as symmetry breaking is concerned. However, the unique identifiers also leak information about the computing environment - in particular, they provide some…

Let $G$ be an unlabeled planar and simple $n$-vertex graph. Unlabeled graphs are graphs where the label-information is either not given or lost during the construction of data-structures. We present a succinct encoding of $G$ that provides…

Everywhere-$\delta$-dense graphs are defined as graphs on $n$ vertices in which every vertex has degree at least $\delta n$ for some constant $\delta > 0$. Approximation schemes are vital for handling NP-hard optimization problems, but for…

Cutting-planes are one of the most important building blocks for solving large-scale integer programming (IP) problems to (near) optimality. The majority of cutting plane approaches rely on explicit rules to derive valid inequalities that…

For fixed $h \geq 2$, we consider the task of adding to a graph $G$ a set of weighted shortcut edges on the same vertex set, such that the length of a shortest $h$-hop path between any pair of vertices in the augmented graph is exactly the…

The Max-Cut problem is known to be NP-hard on general graphs, while it can be solved in polynomial time on planar graphs. In this paper, we present a fixed-parameter tractable algorithm for the problem on `almost' planar graphs: Given an…

We study the Requirement Cut problem, a generalization of numerous classical graph partitioning problems including Multicut, Multiway Cut, $k$-Cut, and Steiner Multicut among others. Given a graph with edge costs, terminal groups $(S_1,…

The Multicut problem asks for a minimum cut separating certain pairs of vertices: formally, given a graph $G$ and demand graph $H$ on a set $T\subseteq V(G)$ of terminals, the task is to find a minimum-weight set $C$ of edges of $G$ such…

The splitting number of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is the minimum number of vertex splits required to turn $G$ into a planar graph, where a vertex split removes a vertex $v \in V$, introduces two new vertices $v_1, v_2$, and distributes the edges…

Let $G$ be a graph with vertex set $V(G)$ and edge set $E(G)$, and $f$ be a 0-1 labeling of $E(G)$ so that the absolute difference in the number of edges labeled 1 and 0 is no more than one. Call such a labeling $f$ \emph{edge-friendly}. We…
