Computing shortest paths is one of the most fundamental algorithmic graph problems. It is known since decades that this problem can be solved in near-linear time if all weights are nonnegative. A recent break-through by [Bernstein,…

We study the knapsack problem with graph theoretic constraints. That is, we assume that there exists a graph structure on the set of items of knapsack and the solution also needs to satisfy certain graph theoretic properties on top of…
In the semi-streaming model, an algorithm must process any $n$-vertex graph by making one or few passes over a stream of its edges, use $O(n \cdot \text{polylog }n)$ words of space, and at the end of the last pass, output a solution to the…
The maximum integer skew-symmetric flow problem (MSFP) generalizes both the maximum flow and maximum matching problems. It was introduced by Tutte in terms of self-conjugate flows in antisymmetrical digraphs. He showed that for these…
The single-source shortest path problem (SSSP) with nonnegative edge weights is a notoriously difficult problem to solve efficiently in parallel---it is one of the graph problems said to suffer from the transitive-closure bottleneck. In…
A variant of the well-known Shortest Path Problem is studied in this paper, where pairs of conflicting arcs are provided, and for each conflicting pair a penalty is paid once neither or both of the arcs are selected. This configures a set…
