Let G be an undirected graph with non-negative edge weights and let S be a subset of its shortest paths such that, for every pair ( u, v ) of distinct vertices, S contains exactly one shortest path between u and v . In this paper we define a range space associated with S and prove that its VC dimension is 2. As a consequence, we show a bound for the number of shortest paths trees required to be sampled in order to solve a relaxed version of the All-pairs Shortest Paths problem (APSP) in G . In this version of the problem we are interested in computing all shortest paths with a certain “importance” at least ε . Given any 0 < ε , δ < 1, we propose a O ( m + n log n + (diam V ( G ) ) 2 ) sampling algorithm that outputs with probability 1 − δ the (exact) distance and the shortest path between every pair of vertices ( u, v ) that appears as subpath of at least a proportion ε of all shortest paths in the set S , where diam V ( G ) is the vertex-diameter of G . The bound that we obtain for the sample size depends only on ε and δ , and do not depend on the size of the graph.","PeriodicalId":35667,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Graph Algorithms and Applications","volume":"54 1","pages":"603-619"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71225272","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The angular resolution of a straight-line drawing of a graph is the smallest angle formed by any two edges incident to a vertex. The angular resolution of a graph is the supremum of the angular resolutions of all straight-line drawings of the graph. We show that testing whether a graph has angular resolution at least π/ (2 k ) is complete for ∃ R , the existential theory of the reals, for every fixed k ≥ 2 . This remains true if the graph is planar and a plane embedding of the graph is fixed.","PeriodicalId":35667,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Graph Algorithms and Applications","volume":"1 1","pages":"565-580"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71225261","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Computing a minimum Feedback Arc Set (FAS) is important for visualizing directed graphs in hierarchical style. It is the first step of both known frameworks for hierarchical graph drawing of directed graphs and it is NP-hard. We present a new heuristic algorithm for computing a minimum FAS in directed graphs. The new technique produces solutions that, for graph drawing datasets, are better than the ones produced by the best previously known heuristics, often reducing the FAS size by more than 50%. The heuristic is based on computing the PageRank score of the nodes of the directed line graph of the input directed graph. Although the time required by our heuristic is heavily influenced by the size of the produced line graph, our experimental results show that it runs very fast even for very large graphs used in graph drawing. We compare results produced by our heuristic to known exact results for specific graphs used in a previous study and discuss the interesting trade-off. Finally, our experimental results on large web-graphs show that our technique found smaller FAS than it was known before for some web-graphs from a data set used in a recent study.","PeriodicalId":35667,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Graph Algorithms and Applications","volume":"109 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135450045","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
