An introduction to the Ribe program
A Naor - Japanese Journal of Mathematics, 2012 - Springer
We survey problems, results, ideas, and recent progress in the Ribe program. The goal of
this research program, which is motivated by a classical rigidity theorem of Martin Ribe, is to …

Separators in region intersection graphs
JR Lee - arxiv preprint arxiv:1608.01612, 2016 - arxiv.org
For undirected graphs $ G=(V, E) $ and $ G_0=(V_0, E_0) $, say that $ G $ is a region
intersection graph over $ G_0 $ if there is a family of connected subsets $\{R_u\subseteq …

Min-max graph partitioning and small set expansion
We study graph partitioning problems from a min-max perspective, in which an input graph
on n vertices should be partitioned into k parts, and the objective is to minimize the …

Almost-linear ε-emulators for planar graphs
We study vertex sparsification for distances, in the setting of planar graphs with distortion:
Given a planar graph G (with edge weights) and a subset of k terminal vertices, the goal is to …

Scattering and sparse partitions, and their applications
A Filtser - ACM Transactions on Algorithms, 2024 - dl.acm.org
A partition of a weighted graph is-sparse if every cluster has diameter at most, and every ball
of radius intersects at most clusters. Similarly, is-scattering if instead for balls, we require that …

Vertex sparsifiers: New results from old techniques
Given a capacitated graph G=(V,E) and a set of terminals K⊆V, how should we produce a
