For the vast majority of local graph problems standard dynamic programming techniques give c^tw V^O(1) algorithms, where tw is the treewidth of the input graph. On the other hand, for problems with a global requirement (usually…

We show that for all functions $t(n) \geq n$, every multitape Turing machine running in time $t$ can be simulated in space only $O(\sqrt{t \log t})$. This is a substantial improvement over Hopcroft, Paul, and Valiant's simulation of time…

We present the first sublinear-in-$n$ round algorithm for sampling an approximately uniform spanning tree of an $n$-vertex graph in the CongestedClique model of distributed computing. In particular, our algorithm requires…

In 2021, motivated by graph limit theory Lov\'asz extended most of the theory of flows to a measure theoretic setting. Using this framework, the first author constructed $d$-regular treeings that are measurably bipartite, and have no…

The disjoint paths problem asks, given an graph G and k + 1 pairs of terminals (s_0,t_0), ...,(s_k,t_k), whether there are k+1 pairwise disjoint paths P_0, ...,P_k, such that P_i connects s_i to t_i. Robertson and Seymour have proven that…

We recently introduced the graph invariant twin-width, and showed that first-order model checking can be solved in time $f(d,k)n$ for $n$-vertex graphs given with a witness that the twin-width is at most $d$, called $d$-contraction sequence…

We prove a square-root space simulation for deterministic multitape Turing machines, showing $\mathrm{TIME}[t]\subseteq \mathrm{SPACE}[O(\sqrt{t})]$ \emph{measured in tape cells over a fixed finite alphabet}. The key step is a Height…

Codes over trees were introduced recently to bridge graph theory and coding theory with diverse applications in computer science and beyond. A central challenge lies in determining the maximum number of labelled trees over $n$ nodes with…

Blocking flows, introduced by Dinic [2] for network flow, have been used to speed up many augmenting-path type algorithms, especially matching algorithms e.g., [18, 23, 16]. We present an $O(m)$ time algorithm for blocking trails for…
