Charting the Diameter Computation Landscape on Intersection Graphs in the Plane

Timothy M. Chan, Hsien-Chih Chang, Jie Gao +3

Computing the diameter of the intersection graphs of objects is a basic problem in computational geometry. Previous works showed that the complexity of computing the diameter mainl…

Charting the Diameter Computation Landscape of Geometric Intersection Graphs in Three Dimensions and Higher

Timothy M. Chan, Hsien-Chih Chang, Jie Gao +3

Recent research on computing the diameter of geometric intersection graphs has made significant strides, primarily focusing on the 2D case where truly subquadratic-time algorithms…

Near-Linear and Parameterized Approximations for Maximum Cliques in Disk Graphs

Jie Gao, Pawel Gawrychowski, Panos Giannopoulos +4

A \emph{disk graph} is the intersection graph of (closed) disks in the plane. We consider the classic problem of finding a maximum clique in a disk graph. For general disk graphs,…

Truly Subquadratic Time Algorithms for Diameter and Related Problems in Graphs of Bounded VC-dimension

Timothy M. Chan, Hsien-Chih Chang, Jie Gao +3

We give the first truly subquadratic time algorithm, with running time, for computing the diameter of an -vertex unit-disk graph, resolving a central open prob…

Computing Diameter +1 in Truly Subquadratic Time for Unit-Disk Graphs

Hsien-Chih Chang, Jie Gao, Hung Le

Finding the diameter of a graph in general cannot be done in truly subquadratic assuming the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis (SETH), even when the underlying graph is unweighted…
