Tight conditional lower bounds for approximating diameter in directed graphs
STOC 2021: Proceedings of the 53rd Annual ACM SIGACT Symposium on Theory of ComputingPages 1697–1710https://doi.org/10.1145/3406325.3451130Among the most fundamental graph parameters is the Diameter, the largest distance between any pair of vertices in a graph. Computing the Diameter of a graph with m edges requires m2−o(1) time under the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis (SETH), which ...

Toward Tight Approximation Bounds for Graph Diameter and Eccentricities
SIAM Journal on Computing (SICOMP), Volume 50, Issue 4Pages 1155–1199https://doi.org/10.1137/18M1226737Among the most important graph parameters is the diameter, the largest distance between any two vertices. There are no known very efficient algorithms for computing the diameter exactly. Thus, much research has been devoted to how fast this parameter can ...

The Hirsch Conjecture Holds for Normal Flag Complexes
Mathematics of Operations Research (MOOR), Volume 39, Issue 4Pages 1340–1348https://doi.org/10.1287/moor.2014.0661Using an intuition from metric geometry, we prove that any flag normal simplicial complex satisfies the nonrevisiting path conjecture. As a consequence, the diameter of its facet-ridge graph is smaller than the number of vertices minus the dimension, as ...

Fast approximation algorithms for the diameter and radius of sparse graphs
STOC '13: Proceedings of the forty-fifth annual ACM symposium on Theory of ComputingPages 515–524https://doi.org/10.1145/2488608.2488673The diameter and the radius of a graph are fundamental topological parameters that have many important practical applications in real world networks. The fastest combinatorial algorithm for both parameters works by solving the all-pairs shortest paths ...

Diameter of the spike-flow graphs of geometrical neural networks
PPAM'11: Proceedings of the 9th international conference on Parallel Processing and Applied Mathematics - Volume Part IPages 511–520https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-31464-3_52Average path length is recognised as one of the vital characteristics of random graphs and complex networks. Despite a rather sparse structure, some cases were reported to have a relatively short lengths between every pair of nodes, making the whole ...

A graph theoretic approach for optimizing key pre-distribution in wireless sensor networks
Finding an optimal key assignment (subject to given constraints) for a key predistribution scheme in wireless sensor networks is a difficult task. Hence, most of the practical schemes are based on probabilistic key assignment, which leads to suboptimal ...

Fast computation of empirically tight bounds for the diameter of massive graphs
ACM Journal of Experimental Algorithmics (JEA), Volume 13Article No.: 10, Pages 1.10–1.9https://doi.org/10.1145/1412228.1455266The diameter of a graph is among its most basic parameters. Since a few years ago, it moreover became a key issue to compute it for massive graphs in the context of complex network analysis. However, known algorithms, including the ones producing ...

A fast algorithm to calculate powers of a Boolean matrix for diameter computation of random graphs
In this paper, a fast algorithm is proposed to calculate kth power of an n × n Boolean matrix that requires O(kn3p) addition operations, where p is the probability that an entry of the matrix is 1. The algorithm generates a single set of inference rules ...

Fast and simple approximation of the diameter and radius of a graph
WEA'06: Proceedings of the 5th international conference on Experimental AlgorithmsPages 98–108https://doi.org/10.1007/11764298_9The increasing amount of data to be processed by computers has led to the need for highly efficient algorithms for various computational problems. Moreover, the algorithms should be as simple as possible to be practically applicable. In this paper we ...

Upgrading arcs to minimize the maximum travel time in a network
Networks (NWKS), Volume 47, Issue 2Pages 72–80In transportation and telecommunication systems, the performance of the underlying network can often be improved by upgrading some of the arcs in the network. If an arc is upgraded, the travel time along this arc is reduced by a discount factor α, 0 ≤ α ...

Embedding hypercubes into pancake, cycle prefix and substring reversal networks
Among Cayley graphs on the symmetric group, some that have a noticeably low diameter relative to the number of generators involved are the pancake network, burnt pancake network and cycle prefix network. Another such Cayley graph is the star network, ...
