We study the central All-Pairs Shortest Paths (APSP) problem under the restriction that there are at most $d$ distinct weights on the outgoing edges from every node. For $d=n$ this is the classical (unrestricted) APSP problem that is…

We give an algorithm to find a minimum cut in an edge-weighted directed graph with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges in $\tilde O(n\cdot \max(m^{2/3}, n))$ time. This improves on the 30 year old bound of $\tilde O(nm)$ obtained by Hao and Orlin…

We study the approximability of two related problems on graphs with $n$ nodes and $m$ edges: $n$-Pairs Shortest Paths ($n$-PSP), where the goal is to find a shortest path between $O(n)$ prespecified pairs, and All Node Shortest Cycles…

We revisit a classical graph-theoretic problem, the \textit{single-source shortest-path} (SSSP) problem, in weighted unit-disk graphs. We first propose an exact (and deterministic) algorithm which solves the problem in $O(n \log^2 n)$ time…

Let $G=(V,E,w)$ be a weighted undirected graph with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, and fix a set of $s$ sources $S\subseteq V$. We study the problem of computing {\em almost shortest paths} (ASP) for all pairs in $S \times V$ in both classical…

The APSP Hypothesis states that the All-Pairs Shortest Paths (APSP) problem requires time $n^{3-o(1)}$ on graphs with polynomially bounded integer edge weights. Two increasingly stronger assumptions are the Strong APSP Hypothesis and the…
