We present dynamic algorithms with polylogarithmic update time for estimating the size of the maximum matching of a graph undergoing edge insertions and deletions with approximation ratio strictly better than $2$. Specifically, we obtain a…
In this article, we show that the algorithm of maintaining expander decompositions in graphs undergoing edge deletions directly by removing sparse cuts repeatedly can be made efficient. Formally, for an $m$-edge undirected graph $G$, we say…
We give the first fully dynamic algorithm which maintains a $(1-\epsilon)$-approximate densest subgraph in worst-case time $\text{poly}(\log n, \epsilon^{-1})$ per update. Dense subgraph discovery is an important primitive for many…
In this paper, we introduce a new model for sublinear algorithms called \emph{dynamic sketching}. In this model, the underlying data is partitioned into a large \emph{static} part and a small \emph{dynamic} part and the goal is to compute a…
A low out-degree orientation directs each edge of an undirected graph with the goal of minimizing the maximum out-degree of a vertex. In the parallel batch-dynamic setting, one can insert or delete batches of edges, and the goal is to…
Most of real-world graphs are dynamic, i.e., they change over time by a sequence of update operations. While the regression problem has been studied for static graphs and temporal graphs, it is not investigated for general dynamic graphs.…
We construct $n$-node graphs on which any $O(n)$-size spanner has additive error at least $+\Omega(n^{3/17})$, improving on the previous best lower bound of $\Omega(n^{1/7})$ [Bodwin-Hoppenworth FOCS '22]. Our construction completes the…
We introduce a new algorithmic framework for designing dynamic graph algorithms in minor-free graphs, by exploiting the structure of such graphs and a tool called vertex sparsification, which is a way to compress large graphs into small…
In this paper, we show new data structures maintaining approximate shortest paths in sparse directed graphs with polynomially bounded non-negative edge weights under edge insertions. We give more efficient incremental…
In this paper we study the fundamental problem of maintaining a dynamic collection of strings under the following operations: concat - concatenates two strings, split - splits a string into two at a given position, compare - finds the…
We consider a variation of the spectral sparsification problem where we are required to keep a subgraph of the original graph. Formally, given a union of two weighted graphs $G$ and $W$ and an integer $k$, we are asked to find a $k$-edge…
In this paper we introduce a general framework for casting fully dynamic transitive closure into the problem of reevaluating polynomials over matrices. With this technique, we improve the best known bounds for fully dynamic transitive…
For any undirected and weighted graph $G=(V,E,w)$ with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, we call a sparse subgraph $H$ of $G$, with proper reweighting of the edges, a $(1+\varepsilon)$-spectral sparsifier if \[…
We provide new tradeoffs between approximation and running time for the decremental all-pairs shortest paths (APSP) problem. For undirected graphs with $m$ edges and $n$ nodes undergoing edge deletions, we provide four new approximate…
We consider the PageRank problem in the dynamic setting, where the goal is to explicitly maintain an approximate PageRank vector $\pi \in \mathbb{R}^n$ for a graph under a sequence of edge insertions and deletions. Our main result is a…
In the decremental single-source shortest paths (SSSP) problem we want to maintain the distances between a given source node $s$ and every other node in an $n$-node $m$-edge graph $G$ undergoing edge deletions. While its static counterpart…
Dynamic connectivity is a well-studied problem, but so far the most compelling progress has been confined to the edge-update model: maintain an understanding of connectivity in an undirected graph, subject to edge insertions and deletions.…
We give an algorithm that, with high probability, maintains a $(1-\epsilon)$-approximate $s$-$t$ maximum flow in undirected, uncapacitated $n$-vertex graphs undergoing $m$ edge insertions in $\tilde{O}(m+ n F^*/\epsilon)$ total update time,…
We give new upper and lower bounds for the {\em dynamic} set cover problem. First, we give a $(1+\epsilon) f$-approximation for fully dynamic set cover in $O(f^2\log n /\epsilon^5)$ (amortized) update time, for any $\epsilon > 0$, where $f$…
In distributed networks, it is often useful for the nodes to be aware of dense subgraphs, e.g., such a dense subgraph could reveal dense subtructures in otherwise sparse graphs (e.g. the World Wide Web or social networks); these might…
