We present a general framework of designing efficient dynamic approximate algorithms for
optimization problems on undirected graphs. In particular, we develop a technique that …

Lipschitz extensions for node-private graph statistics and the generalized exponential mechanism

S Raskhodnikova, A Smith - 2016 IEEE 57th Annual …, 2016 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Lipschitz extensions were proposed as a tool for designing differentially private algorithms
for approximating graph statistics. However, efficiently computable Lipschitz extensions …

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 …

Fully dynamic spectral vertex sparsifiers and applications

D Durfee, Y Gao, G Goranci, R Peng - … of the 51st Annual ACM SIGACT …, 2019 - dl.acm.org
We study dynamic algorithms for maintaining spectral vertex sparsifiers of graphs with
respect to a set of terminals T of our choice. Such objects preserve pairwise resistances …

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

N Bansal, U Feige, R Krauthgamer, K Makarychev… - SIAM Journal on …, 2014 - SIAM
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

HC Chang, R Krauthgamer, Z Tan - … of the 54th Annual ACM SIGACT …, 2022 - dl.acm.org
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 …

Computing cut-based hierarchical decompositions in almost linear time

H Räcke, C Shah, H Täubig - Proceedings of the twenty-fifth annual ACM …, 2014 - SIAM
We present a fast construction algorithm for the hierarchical tree decompositions that lie at
the heart of oblivious routing strategies and that form the basis for approximation and online …

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

M Englert, A Gupta, R Krauthgamer, H Racke… - SIAM Journal on …, 2014 - SIAM
Given a capacitated graph G=(V,E) and a set of terminals K⊆V, how should we produce a
graph H only on the terminals K so that every (multicommodity) flow between the terminals in …
