Consider a setting where possibly sensitive information sent over a path in a network is visible to every {neighbor} of the path, i.e., every neighbor of some node on the path, thus including the nodes on the path itself. The exposure of a…
Given a metric space $(X,d_X)$, a $(\beta,s,\Delta)$-sparse cover is a collection of clusters $\mathcal{C}\subseteq P(X)$ with diameter at most $\Delta$, such that for every point $x\in X$, the ball $B_X(x,\frac\Delta\beta)$ is fully…

For two vertices $s$ and $t$ in a graph $G=(V,E)$, the next-to-shortest path is an $st$-path which length is minimum amongst all $st$-paths strictly longer than the shortest path length. In this paper we show that, when the graph is…

In the Edge-Disjoint Paths with Congestion problem (EDPwC), we are given an undirected n-vertex graph G, a collection M={(s_1,t_1),...,(s_k,t_k)} of demand pairs and an integer c. The goal is to connect the maximum possible number of the…

Let $S \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ be a set of $n$ sites, where each $s \in S$ has an associated radius $r_s > 0$. The disk graph $D(S)$ is the undirected graph with vertex set $S$ and an undirected edge between two sites $s, t \in S$ if and only…
We present two new and efficient algorithms for computing all-pairs shortest paths. The algorithms operate on directed graphs with real (possibly negative) weights. They make use of directed path consistency along a vertex ordering d. Both…

Most path planning problems among polygonal obstacles ask to find a path that avoids the obstacles and is optimal with respect to some measure or a combination of measures, for example an $u$-to-$v$ shortest path of clearance at least $c$,…
