We present a novel self-stabilizing algorithm for minimum spanning tree (MST) construction. The space complexity of our solution is $O(\log^2n)$ bits and it converges in $O(n^2)$ rounds. Thus, this algorithm improves the convergence time of…

A maximal independent set (MIS) can be maintained in an evolving $m$-edge graph by simply recomputing it from scratch in $O(m)$ time after each update. But can it be maintained in time sublinear in $m$ in fully dynamic graphs? We answer…

Computing a directed minimum spanning tree, called arborescence, is a fundamental algorithmic problem, although not as common as its undirected counterpart. In 1967, Edmonds discussed an elegant solution. It was refined to run in…

An algorithm on weighted graphs is called universally optimal if it is optimal for every input graph, in the worst case taken over all weight assignments. Informally, this means the algorithm is competitive even with algorithms that are…

Given a graph $G = (V, E)$, we wish to compute a spanning tree whose maximum vertex degree, i.e. tree degree, is as small as possible. Computing the exact optimal solution is known to be NP-hard, since it generalizes the Hamiltonian path…

We present the first deterministic data structures for maintaining approximate minimum vertex cover and maximum matching in a fully dynamic graph $G = (V,E)$, with $|V| = n$ and $|E| =m$, in $o(\sqrt{m}\,)$ time per update. In particular,…

We give a simple algorithm for maintaining a $n^{o(1)}$-approximate spanner $H$ of a graph $G$ with $n$ vertices as $G$ receives edge updates by reduction to the dynamic All-Pairs Shortest Paths (APSP) problem. Given an initially empty…
