Abstract
We propose a fully dynamic algorithm for maintaining reachability information in directed graphs. The proposed deterministic dynamic algorithm has an update time of where is the current number of edges, is the number of vertices in the graph, is the number of edge insertions and is the number of edge deletions. Each query can be answered in O(1) time after each update. The proposed algorithm combines existing fully dynamic reachability algorithm with well known witness counting technique to improve efficiency of maintaining reachability information when edges are deleted. The proposed algorithm improves by a factor of for edge deletion over the best existing fully dynamic algorithm for maintaining reachability information.
