We study the problem of discrepancy maximization on graphs: given a set of nodes Q of an underlying graph G, we aim to identify a connected subgraph of G that contains many more nodes from Q than other nodes. This variant of the discrepancy-maximization problem extends the well-known notion of “bump hunting” in the Euclidean space. We consider the problem under two access models. In the unrestricted-access model, the...
