The textbook algorithm for real-weighted single-source shortest paths takes $O(mn)$ time on a graph with $m$ edges and $n$ vertices. A recent breakthrough algorithm by [Fin24] takes $\tilde{O}(mn^{8/9})$ randomized time. The running time…

The approximate single-source shortest-path problem is as follows: given a graph with nonnegative edge weights and a designated source vertex $s$, return estimates of the distances from~$s$ to each other vertex such that the estimate falls…

We initiate the study of approximate maximum matching in the vertex partition model, for graphs subject to dynamic changes. We assume that the $n$ vertices of the graph are partitioned among $k$ players, who execute a distributed algorithm…

We consider the problem of maintaining a $(1-\epsilon)$-approximation to the densest subgraph (DSG) in an undirected multigraph as it undergoes edge insertions and deletions (the fully dynamic setting). Sawlani and Wang [SW20] developed a…
