We give faster algorithms for weak expander decompositions and approximate max flow on undirected graphs. First, we show that it is possible to "warm start" the cut-matching game when computing weak expander decompositions, avoiding the…

We give the first almost-linear total time algorithm for deciding if a flow of cost at most $F$ still exists in a directed graph, with edge costs and capacities, undergoing decremental updates, i.e., edge deletions, capacity decreases, and…

In graph theory, the longest path problem is the problem of finding a simple path of maximum length in a given graph. For some small classes of graphs, the problem can be solved in polynomial time [2, 4], but it remains NP-hard on general…

We initiate the study of dynamic algorithms for graph sparsification problems and obtain fully dynamic algorithms, allowing both edge insertions and edge deletions, that take polylogarithmic time after each update in the graph. Our three…

In 1996, Karger [Kar96] gave a startling randomized algorithm that finds a minimum-cut in a (weighted) graph in time $O(m\log^3n)$ which he termed near-linear time meaning linear (in the size of the input) times a polylogarthmic factor. In…

We provide $m^{1+o(1)}k\epsilon^{-1}$-time algorithms for computing multiplicative $(1 - \epsilon)$-approximate solutions to multi-commodity flow problems with $k$-commodities on $m$-edge directed graphs, including concurrent…

We give a deterministic $O(m\log^{2/3}n)$-time algorithm for single-source shortest paths (SSSP) on directed graphs with real non-negative edge weights in the comparison-addition model. This is the first result to break the $O(m+n\log n)$…

We present a new strongly polynomial algorithm for generalized flow maximization that is significantly simpler and faster than the previous strongly polynomial algorithm [V\'egh16]. For the uncapacitated problem formulation, the complexity…

We present the first near-linear work and poly-logarithmic depth algorithm for computing a minimum cut in a graph, while previous parallel algorithms with poly-logarithmic depth required at least quadratic work in the number of vertices. In…

This paper ties the line of work on algorithms that find an O(sqrt(log(n)))-approximation to the sparsest cut together with the line of work on algorithms that run in sub-quadratic time by using only single-commodity flows. We present an…
