While a natural fit for modeling and understanding mobile networks, time-varying graphs remain poorly understood. Indeed, many of the usual concepts of static graphs have no obvious counterpart in time-varying ones. In this paper, we…
We present an $O(n^{1.5})$-space distance oracle for directed planar graphs that answers distance queries in $O(\log n)$ time. Our oracle both significantly simplifies and significantly improves the recent oracle of Cohen-Addad, Dahlgaard…
Let $G=(V,E)$ be a weighted undirected graph, with $n$ vertices. A distance oracle is a data structure that can quickly answer distance queries, with some stretch factor. A seminal work of \cite{TZ01}, given an integer $k\ge 1$, provides…
An approximate distance oracle is a succinct data structure that provides fast answers to distance queries between any two nodes. In this paper we consider approximate distance oracles for general undirected graphs with non-negative edge…
An $f$-edge fault-tolerant distance sensitive oracle ($f$-DSO) with stretch $\sigma \ge 1$ is a data structure that preprocesses a given undirected, unweighted graph $G$ with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, and a positive integer $f$. When…
A distance oracle is a compact representation of the shortest distance matrix of a graph. It can be queried to approximate shortest paths between any pair of vertices. Any distance oracle that returns paths of worst-case stretch (2k-1) must…
Reachability questions are one of the most fundamental algorithmic primitives in temporal graphs -- graphs whose edge set changes over discrete time steps. A core problem here is the NP-hard Short Restless Temporal Path: given a temporal…

Given an undirected unweighted graph $G$ and a source set $S$ of $|S| = \sigma $ sources, we want to build a data structure which can process the following query {\sc Q}$(s,t,e):$ find the shortest distance from $s$ to $t$ avoiding an edge…
The distance sensitivity oracle (DSO) problem asks us to preprocess a given graph $G=(V,E)$ in order to answer queries of the form $d(x,y,e)$, which denotes the shortest path distance in $G$ from vertex $x$ to vertex $y$ when edge $e$ is…
Given a vertex-labeled graph, each vertex $v$ is attached with a label from a set of labels. The vertex-label query desires the length of the shortest path from the given vertex to the set of vertices with the given label. We show how to…
Let $G=(V,E)$ be an undirected unweighted graph on $n$ vertices and $m$ edges. We address the problem of sensitivity oracle for all-pairs mincuts in $G$ defined as follows. Build a compact data structure that, on receiving any pair of…
We consider the problem of building Distance Sensitivity Oracles (DSOs). Given a directed graph $G=(V, E)$ with edge weights in $\{1, 2, \dots, M\}$, we need to preprocess it into a data structure, and answer the following queries: given…
A temporal graph $\mathcal{G}=(G,\lambda)$ can be represented by an underlying graph $G=(V,E)$ together with a function $\lambda$ that assigns to each edge $e\in E$ the set of time steps during which $e$ is present. The reachability graph…
Let $S \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ be a set of $n$ sites, where each $s \in S$ has an associated radius $r_s > 0$. The disk graph $D(S)$ is the undirected graph with vertex set $S$ and an undirected edge between two sites $s, t \in S$ if and only…
Recently it was shown that the transitive closure of a directed graph can be updated using first-order formulas after insertions and deletions of single edges in the dynamic descriptive complexity framework by Dong, Su, and Topor, and…

Calculating the diameter of an undirected graph requires quadratic running time under the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis and this barrier works even against any approximation better than 3/2. For planar graphs with positive edge…
In the $2$-reachability problem we are given a directed graph $G$ and we wish to determine if there are two (edge or vertex) disjoint paths from $u$ to $v$, for a given pair of vertices $u$ and $v$. In this paper, we present an algorithm…
