  • Based on the geometric representation an efficient al-gorithm is designed to find all articulation points of a permutation graph. The proposed algorithm takes only O(n log n) time and O(n) space where n represents the number of vertices. The proposed se-quential algorithm can easily be implemented in parallel which takes O(log n) time and O(n) processors on an EREW PRAM. These are the first known algorithms for the problem on this class of graph.

  • Parallel execution of computational mechanics codes requires efficient mesh-partitioning techniques. These mesh-partitioning techniques divide the mesh into specified number of submeshes of approximately the same size and at the same time, minimise the interface nodes of the submeshes. This paper describes a new mesh partitioning technique, employing Genetic Algorithms. The proposed algorithm operates on the deduced graph (dual or nodal graph) of the given finite element mesh rather than directly on the mesh itself. The algorithm works by first constructing a coarse graph approximation using an automatic graph coarsening method. The coarse graph is partitioned and the results are interpolated onto the original graph to initialise an optimisation of the graph partition problem. In practice, hierarchy of (usually more than two) graphs are used to obtain the final graph partition. The proposed partitioning algorithm is applied to graphs derived from unstructured finite element meshes describing practical engineering problems and also several example graphs related to finite element meshes given in the literature. The test results indicate that the proposed GA based graph partitioning algorithm generates high quality partitions and are superior to spectral and multilevel graph partitioning algorithms.

  • This paper gives two graph-based algorithms for radioactive decay computation. The first algorithm identifies the connected components of the graph induced from the given radioactive decay dynamics to reduce the size of the problem. The solutions are derived over the precalculated connected components, respectively and independently. The second algorithm utilizes acyclic structure of radioactive decay dynamics. The algorithm evaluates the reachable vertices of the induced system graph from the initially activated vertices and finds the minimal set of starting vertices populating the entire reachable vertices. Then, the decay calculations are performed over the reachable vertices from the identified minimal starting vertices, respectively, with the partitioned initial value over the reachable vertices. Formal arguments are given to show that the proposed graph inspired divide and conquer calculation methods perform the intended radioactive decay calculation. Empirical efforts comparing the proposed radioactive decay calculation algorithms are presented.

  • Current graph mining algorithms suffers from performance issues when querying patterns are in increasingly massive network graphs. However, from our observation most data graphs inherently contains recurring semantic subgraphs/substructures. Most graph mining algorithms treat them as independent subgraphs and perform computations on them redundantly, which result in performance degradation when processing massive graphs. In this paper, we propose an algorithm which exploits these inherent recurring subgraphs/substructures to reduce graph sizes so that redundant computations performed by the traditional graph mining algorithms are reduced. Experimental results show that our graph compression approach achieve up to 69% reduction in graph sizes over the real datasets. Moreover, required time to construct the compressed graphs is also reasonably reduced.

  • The shortest-paths problem is a fundamental problem in graph theory and finds diverse applications in various fields. This is why shortest path algorithms have been designed more thoroughly than any other algorithm in graph theory. A large number of optimization problems are mathematically equivalent to the problem of finding shortest paths in a graph. The shortest-path between a pair of vertices is defined as the path with shortest length between the pair of vertices. The shortest path from one vertex to another often gives the best way to route a message between the vertices. This paper presents an $O(n^2)$ time sequential algorithm and an $O(n^2/p+logn)$ time parallel algorithm on EREW PRAM model for solving all pairs shortest paths problem on circular-arc graphs, where p and n represent respectively the number of processors and the number of vertices of the circular-arc graph.

  • This paper proposes a method for storing graphs and defining graph algorithms based on the well-developed relational database. In this method, graphs are represented in the form of relations. Each vertex and edge of a graph is represented as tuples of the table and saved in a database. We developed a library of graph operations for the storage and management of graphs and the development of graph applications. Furthermore, we defined graph algorithms in terms of relational algebraic operations such as projection, selection, and join. They can be implemented with the database language such as SQL. This database approach provides an efficient methodology to deal with very large-scale graphs and to support the development of graph applications.

  • Graphs have provided a powerful methodology to solve a lot of real-world problems, and therefore there have been many proposals on the graph representations and algorithms. But, because most of them considered only memory-based graphs, there are still difficulties to apply them to large-scale problems. To cope with the difficulties, this paper proposes a graph representation and graph algorithms based on the well-developed relational database theory. Graphs are represented in the form of relations which can be visualized as relational tables. Each vertex and edge of a graph is represented as a tuple in the tables. Graph algorithms are also defined in terms of relational algebraic operations such as projection, selection, and join. They can be implemented with the database language such as SQL. We also developed a library of basic graph operations for the management of graphs and the development of graph applications. This database approach provides an efficient methodology to deal with very large- scale graphs, and the graph library supports the development of graph applications. Furthermore, it has many advantages such as the concurrent graph sharing among users by virtue of the capability of database.

  • Spectral clustering is a powerful tool for exploratory data analysis. Many existing spectral clustering algorithms typically measure the similarity by using a Gaussian kernel function or an undirected k-nearest neighbor (kNN) graph, which cannot reveal the real clusters when the data are not well separated. In this paper, to improve the spectral clustering, we consider a robust similarity measure based on the shared nearest neighbors in a directed kNN graph. We propose two novel algorithms for spectral clustering: one based on the number of shared nearest neighbors, and one based on their closeness. The proposed algorithms are able to explore the underlying similarity relationships between data points, and are robust to datasets that are not well separated. Moreover, the proposed algorithms have only one parameter, k. We evaluated the proposed algorithms using synthetic and real-world datasets. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithms not only achieve a good level of performance, they also outperform the traditional spectral clustering algorithms.

  • Algorithms that represent given pattern in the form of an ARG (Attributed relational graph) using not only structural relations but also symbolic or numerical attributes, and then recognize that pattern by graph matching process are presented in this paper. Based on definitions of pattern deformational models, algorithms that can find GPECI(Graph preserved error correcting isomorphism). SGECI(subgraph ECI) and DSECI(Double subgraph ECI) are proposed and comparisons among these algorithms are described. To be useful in performig practical tasks, efficient schemes for extraction of ARG representation fron raw image are needed. In this study, given patterns are restricted within objects having distinct skeleton, and then the information which is necessary for recognition and analysis is successfully extracted.

  • If the distance between two vertices becomes longer after the removal of a vertex u, then u is called a hinge vertex. In this paper, a linear time sequential algorithm is presented to find all hinge vertices of an interval graph. Also, a parallel algorithm is presented which takes O(n/P + log n) time using P processors on an EREW PRAM.
