We show an $(1+\epsilon)$-approximation algorithm for maintaining maximum $s$-$t$ flow under $m$ edge insertions in $m^{1/2+o(1)} \epsilon^{-1/2}$ amortized update time for directed, unweighted graphs. This constitutes the first sublinear…

Computing a shortest path between two nodes in an undirected unweighted graph is among the most basic algorithmic tasks. Breadth first search solves this problem in linear time, which is clearly also a lower bound in the worst case.…
