Scientific programme and objectives
Our goal is to study the Computational Complexity of several important problems arising in
networks. In particular, we will focus on the computation of metric or structural properties and
parameters of large networks. We plan to design efficient exact algorithms for solving these
problems or to theoretically prove that such algorithms cannot exist. In the latter case, we will then
design approximation algorithms, or prove that none exists. In all cases, we aim at implementing
our algorithms and use them on real-world instances such as large road networks or huge social
networks.
Work-program
In this project, we will mainly tackle three kinds of network problems that are naturally modeled as
graph-theoretical problems.
- First, we will consider graph decompositions: how to efficiently compute “good”
decompositions (e.g., tree-decompositions) and how such decompositions (e.g.,
decompositions with clique-separators) can be used to speed-up the actual running time of
algorithms for computing various graph metrics. As an example of application, we will
consider road-networks for which new usages (e.g. multi-modal transportation) require
algorithms to compute shortest paths more efficiently and in a dynamic setting. - Second, we will study combinatorial games in graphs because they naturally model many
network problems in different contexts. For instance, localization games are a gametheoretic
way to handle the detection of faults in multiprocessor networks (e.g., via
identifying codes or metric dimension). Another example is the surveillance game that is a
nice theoretical model for data prefetching. - Last but not least, we will obtain new results in two graph optimization problems: graph
colorings that naturally model various allocation problems (e.g., resource assignment, like
channel assignment in radio networks, personnel assignment, etc.), and graph convexity that
may be seen as a model of diffusion in a network (e.g., spreading opinions/innovations,
propagating diseases/faults, logical inference, etc.). An objective of particular interest is to
study propagation of information in real social networks.
Since all these problems are complex, we will start by considering simpler models or hypothesis
(for instance, consider a problem on a more restricted graph class) and then obtain results in a more
refined setting. For instance, we will first focus on the case of undirected graphs, which is generally
easier than that of directed graphs. After getting some understanding of the undirected case, we will
then consider the directed one.
