We present a combinatorial algorithm for computing exact maximum flows in directed graphs with $n$ vertices and edge capacities from $\{1,\dots,U\}$ in $n^{2+o(1)}\log U$ time, which is almost optimal in dense graphs. Our algorithm is a…

Computing the connected components of a graph is a fundamental problem in algorithmic graph theory. A major question in this area is whether we can compute connected components in $o(\log n)$ parallel time. Recent works showed an…

In this paper, we consider the Cycle Packing problem on unit disk graphs defined as follows. Given a unit disk graph G with n vertices and an integer k, the goal is to find a set of $k$ vertex-disjoint cycles of G if it exists. Our…

We are motivated by a tantalizing open question in exact algorithms: can we detect whether an $n$-vertex directed graph $G$ has a Hamiltonian cycle in time significantly less than $2^n$? We present new randomized algorithms that improve…

We give a fully dynamic deterministic algorithm for maintaining a maximal matching of an $n$-vertex graph in $\tilde{O}(n^{8/9})$ amortized update time. This breaks the long-standing $\Omega(n)$-update-time barrier on dense graphs,…

In this note we present an algorithm that lists all $4$-cycles in a graph in time $\tilde{O}(\min(n^2,m^{4/3})+t)$ where $t$ is their number. Notably, this separates $4$-cycle listing from triangle-listing, since the latter has a…

Acyclic and cyclic orientations of an undirected graph have been widely studied for their importance: an orientation is acyclic if it assigns a direction to each edge so as to obtain a directed acyclic graph (DAG) with the same vertex set;…

Fredman proposed in 1976 the following algorithmic problem: Given are a ground set $X$, some partial order $P$ over $X$, and some comparison oracle $O_L$ that specifies a linear order $L$ over $X$ that extends $P$. A query to $O_L$ has as…
