We demonstrate that for expander graphs, for all $\epsilon > 0,$ there exists a data structure of size $\widetilde{O}(n\epsilon^{-1})$ which can be used to return $(1 + \epsilon)$-approximations to effective resistances in…
Hub labeling schemes are popular methods for computing distances on road networks and other large complex networks, often answering to a query within a few microseconds for graphs with millions of edges. In this work, we study their…
An $f$-edge fault-tolerant distance sensitive oracle ($f$-DSO) with stretch $\sigma \geq 1$ is a data structure that preprocesses an input graph $G$. When queried with the triple $(s,t,F)$, where $s, t \in V$ and $F \subseteq E$ contains at…
In the context of distance oracles, a labeling algorithm computes vertex labels during preprocessing. An $s,t$ query computes the corresponding distance from the labels of $s$ and $t$ only, without looking at the input graph. Hub labels is…
We study the problem of designing \emph{sublinear spectral clustering oracles} for well-clusterable graphs. Such an oracle is an algorithm that, given query access to the adjacency list of a graph $G$, first constructs a compact data…
Temporal graphs are graphs where the edge set can change in each time step, and the vertex set stays the same. Exploration of temporal graphs whose snapshot in each time step is a connected graph, called connected temporal graphs, has been…
A distance labeling scheme is an assignment of bit-labels to the vertices of an undirected, unweighted graph such that the distance between any pair of vertices can be decoded solely from their labels. An important class of distance…
We give an $O(n \log \log n)$ time algorithm for computing the minimum cut (or equivalently, the shortest cycle) of a weighted directed planar graph. This improves the previous fastest $O(n\log^3 n)$ solution. Interestingly, while in…
Plotkin, Rao, and Smith (SODA'97) showed that any graph with $m$ edges and $n$ vertices that excludes $K_h$ as a depth $O(\ell\log n)$-minor has a separator of size $O(n/\ell + \ell h^2\log n)$ and that such a separator can be found in…
A fault-tolerant distance labeling scheme assigns a label to each vertex and edge of an undirected weighted graph $G$ with $n$ vertices so that, for any edge set $F$ of size $|F| \leq f$, one can approximate the distance between $p$ and $q$…
We present a dual fault-tolerant distance oracle for undirected and unweighted graphs. Given a set $F$ of two edges, as well as a source node $s$ and a destination node $t$, our oracle returns the length of the shortest path from $s$ to $t$…
We introduce an improved structure of distance sensitivity oracle (DSO). The task is to pre-process a non-negatively weighted graph so that a data structure can quickly answer replacement path length for every triple of source, terminal and…
Many graph processing algorithms require determination of shortest-path distances between arbitrary numbers of node pairs. Since computation of exact distances between all node-pairs of a large graph, e.g., 10M nodes and up, is…
The distance sensitivity oracle (DSO) problem asks us to preprocess a given graph $G=(V,E)$ in order to answer queries of the form $d(x,y,e)$, which denotes the shortest path distance in $G$ from vertex $x$ to vertex $y$ when edge $e$ is…
In a temporal graph the edge set dynamically changes over time according to a set of time-labels associated with each edge that indicates at which time-steps the edge is available. Two vertices are connected if there is a path connecting…
We study vertex sparsification for distances, in the setting of planar graphs with distortion: Given a planar graph $G$ (with edge weights) and a subset of $k$ terminal vertices, the goal is to construct an $\varepsilon$-emulator, which is…
We present the first approximate distance oracle for sparse directed networks with time-dependent arc-travel-times determined by continuous, piecewise linear, positive functions possessing the FIFO property. Our approach precomputes…
We present an approximate distance oracle for a point set S with n points and doubling dimension {\lambda}. For every {\epsilon}>0, the oracle supports (1+{\epsilon})-approximate distance queries in (universal) constant time, occupies space…

A graph labeling assigns values to the components of a graph (vertices, edges, etc.). In particular, distance magic labelings have been widely studied in undirected graphs. In such a labeling, the vertices are labeled with unique values…
