Abstract:
The conservation of wildlife corridors between existing habitat preserves is important for combating the effects of habitat loss and fragmentation facing species of concern. We introduce the Steiner Multigraph Problem to model the problem of minimum-cost wildlife corridor design for multiple species with different landscape requirements. This problem can also model other analogous settings in wireless and social networks. As a generalization of Steiner forest, the goal is to find a minimum-cost subgraph that connects multiple sets of terminals. In contrast to Steiner forest, each set of terminals can only be connected via a subset of the nodes. Generalizing Steiner forest in this way makes the problem NP-hard even when restricted to two pairs of terminals. However, we show that if the node subsets have a nested structure, the problem admits a fixed-parameter tractable algorithm in the number of terminals. We successfully test exact and heuristic solution approaches on a wildlife corridor instance for wolverines and lynx in western Montana, showing that though the problem is computationally hard, heuristics perform well, and provably optimal solutions can still be obtained.

Abstract:
AbstractMotivationWhole exome sequencing (WES) studies for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) could identify only around six dozen risk genes to date because the genetic architecture of the disorder is highly complex. To speed the gene discovery process up, a few network-based ASD gene discovery algorithms were proposed. Although these methods use static gene interaction networks, functional clustering of genes is bound to evolve during neurodevelopment and disruptions are likely to have a cascading effect on the future associations. Thus, approaches that disregard the dynamic nature of neurodevelopment are limited.ResultsHere, we present a spatio-temporal gene discovery algorithm, which leverages information from evolving gene co-expression networks of neurodevelopment. The algorithm solves a prize-collecting Steiner forest-based problem on co-expression networks, adapted to model neurodevelopment and transfer information from precursor neurodevelopmental windows. The decisions made by the algorithm can be traced back, adding interpretability to the results. We apply the algorithm on ASD WES data of 3871 samples and identify risk clusters using BrainSpan co-expression networks of early- and mid-fetal periods. On an independent dataset, we show that incorporation of the temporal dimension increases the predictive power: predicted clusters are hit more and show higher enrichment in ASD-related functions compared with the state-of-the-art.Availability and implementationThe code is available at http://ciceklab.cs.bilkent.edu.tr/st-steiner.Supplementary informationSupplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Abstract:
Single-cell technology enables study of signal transduction in a complex tissue at unprecedented resolution. We describe CytoTalk for de novo construction of cell type–specific signaling networks using single-cell transcriptomic data. Using an integrated intracellular and intercellular gene network as the input, CytoTalk identifies candidate pathways using the prize-collecting Steiner forest algorithm. Using high-throughput spatial transcriptomic data and single-cell RNA sequencing data with receptor gene perturbation, we demonstrate that CytoTalk has substantial improvement over existing algorithms. To better understand plasticity of signaling networks across tissues and developmental stages, we perform a comparative analysis of signaling networks between macrophages and endothelial cells across human adult and fetal tissues. Our analysis reveals an overall increased plasticity of signaling networks across adult tissues and specific network nodes that contribute to increased plasticity. CytoTalk enables de novo construction of signal transduction pathways and facilitates comparative analysis of these pathways across tissues and conditions.

Abstract:
We consider node-weighted survivable network design (SNDP) in planar graphs and minor-closed families of graphs. The input consists of a node-weighted undirected graph G = ( V , E ) and integer connectivity requirements r ( uv ) for each unordered pair of nodes uv . The goal is to find a minimum weighted subgraph H of G such that H contains r ( uv ) disjoint paths between u and v for each node pair uv . Three versions of the problem are edge-connectivity SNDP (EC-SNDP), element-connectivity SNDP (Elem-SNDP), and vertex-connectivity SNDP (VC-SNDP), depending on whether the paths are required to be edge, element, or vertex disjoint, respectively. Our main result is an O ( k )-approximation algorithm for EC-SNDP and Elem-SNDP when the input graph is planar or more generally if it belongs to a proper minor-closed family of graphs; here, k = max uv r ( uv ) is the maximum connectivity requirement. This improves upon the O ( k log n )-approximation known for node-weighted EC-SNDP and Elem-SNDP in general graphs [31]. We also obtain an O (1) approximation for node-weighted VC-SNDP when the connectivity requirements are in {0, 1, 2}; for higher connectivity our result for Elem-SNDP can be used in a black-box fashion to obtain a logarithmic factor improvement over currently known general graph results. Our results are inspired by, and generalize, the work of Demaine, Hajiaghayi, and Klein [13], who obtained constant factor approximations for node-weighted Steiner tree and Steiner forest problems in planar graphs and proper minor-closed families of graphs via a primal-dual algorithm.

Abstract:
The Steiner tree problem is a classical, well-studied, $\mathcal{NP}$-hard optimization problem. Here we are given an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$, a subset $R$ of $V$ of terminals, and non-negative costs $c_e$ for all edges $e$ in $E$. A feasible Steiner tree for a given instance is a tree $T$ in $G$ that spans all terminals in $R$. The goal is to compute a feasible Steiner tree of smallest cost. In this thesis we will focus on approximation algorithms for this problem: a $c$-approximation algorithm is an algorithm that returns a tree of cost at most $c$ times that of an optimum solution for any given input instance.

In a series of papers throughout the last decade, the approximation guarantee $c$ for the Steiner tree problem has been improved to the currently best known value of 1. 55 (Robins, Zelikovsky). Robins' and Zelikovsky's algorithm as well as most of its predecessors are greedy algorithms.

Apart from algorithmic improvements, there also has been substantial work on obtaining tight linear-programming relaxations for the Steiner tree problem. Many undirected and directed formulations have been proposed in the course of the last 25 years; their use, however, is to this point mostly restricted to the field of exact optimization. There are few examples of algorithms for the Steiner tree problem that make use of these LP relaxations. The best known such algorithm for general graphs is a 2-approximation (for the more general Steiner forest problem) due to Agrawal, Klein and Ravi. Their analysis is tight as the LP-relaxation used in their work is known to be weak: it has an IP/LP gap of approximately 2.

Most recent efforts to obtain algorithms for the Steiner tree problem that are based on LP-relaxations has focused on directed relaxations. In this thesis we present an undirected relaxation and show that the algorithm of Robins and Zelikovsky returns a Steiner tree whose cost is at most 1. 55 times its optimum solution value. In fact, we show that this algorithm can be viewed as a primal-dual algorithm.

The Steiner forest problem is a generalization of the Steiner tree problem. In the problem, instead of only one set of terminals, we are given more than one terminal set. An feasible Steiner forest is a forest that connects all terminals in the same terminal set for each terminal set. The goal is to find a minimum cost feasible Steiner forest. In this thesis, a new set of facet defining inequalities for the polyhedra of the Steiner forest is introduced.

Abstract:
The subject of this thesis is to study approximation algorithms for some network design problems in face of uncertainty. We consider two widely studied models of handling uncertainties - Robust Optimization and Stochastic Optimization. We study a robust version of the well studied Uncapacitated Facility Location Problem (UFLP). In this version, once the set of facilities to be opened is decided, an adversary may close at most β facilities. The clients must then be assigned to the remaining open facilities. The performance of a solution is measured by the worst possible set of facilities that the adversary may close. We introduce a novel LP for the problem, and provide an LP rounding algorithm when all facilities have same opening costs. We also study the 2-stage Stochastic version of the Steiner Tree Problem. In this version, the set of terminals to be covered is not known in advance. Instead, a probability distribution over the possible sets of terminals is known. One is allowed to build a partial solution in the first stage a low cost, and when the exact scenario to be covered becomes known in the second stage, one is allowed to extend the solution by building a recourse network, albeit at higher cost. The aim is to construct a solution of low cost in expectation. We provide an LP rounding algorithm for this problem that beats the current best known LP rounding based approximation algorithm.

Abstract:
The paper considers nanocomposites, reinforced with aligned carbon nanotubes (A- CNTs). Nominally aligned, the CNTs in the forest are wavy, which has important consequences in downgraded mechanical properties, and influences electric and thermal performance. The most detailed geometrical model of A-CNTs was proposed by Stein and Wardle (Nanotechnology, 27:035701, 2015). It creates a centerline trajectory of a CNT in steps, each step defining a section of the CNT, growing in the alignment direction with certain deviations. The paper, starting from this framework, formulates a model of the CNT geometry, which is based on the concept of correlation length of the CNT waviness and maximum admissible CNT curvature and torsion. The value of the maximum curvature can be linked to the buckling criteria for CNTs, or derived from ab initio and finite element modelling. It is used as a limiting factor for the growth, defining the waviness and tortuosity of the CNTs. The CNTs in the forest are placed in a random non-regular way, using Voronoi tessellation. The full paper includes investigation of the proposed algorithm for several values of the CNT volume fraction (in the range 0.5%…8%), the dependency of the modelled geometry on the curvature, and the apparent twist of the CNT centerlines. The modelling results are compared with experimental observations in 3D TEM imaging.
