An $\alpha$-spanner of a graph $ G $ is a subgraph $ H $ such that $ H $ preserves all distances of $ G $ within a factor of $ \alpha $. In this paper, we give fully dynamic algorithms for maintaining a spanner $ H $ of a graph $ G $…

We consider a the minimum k-way cut problem for unweighted graphs with a size bound s on the number of cut edges allowed. Thus we seek to remove as few edges as possible so as to split a graph into k components, or report that this requires…

An essential requirement of spanners in many applications is to be fault-tolerant: a $(1+\epsilon)$-spanner of a metric space is called (vertex) $f$-fault-tolerant ($f$-FT) if it remains a $(1+\epsilon)$-spanner (for the non-faulty points)…

We study two popular ways to sketch the shortest path distances of an input graph. The first is distance preservers, which are sparse subgraphs that agree with the distances of the original graph on a given set of demand pairs. Prior work…

For any constants $d\ge 1$, $\epsilon >0$, $t>1$, and any $n$-point set $P\subset\mathbb{R}^d$, we show that there is a geometric graph $G=(P,E)$ having $O(n\log^2 n\log\log n)$ edges with the following property: For any $F\subseteq P$,…

Given an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ with edge capacities $c_e\geq 1$ for $e\in E$ and a subset $T$ of $k$ vertices called terminals, we say that a graph $H$ is a quality-$q$ cut sparsifier for $G$ iff $T\subseteq V(H)$, and for any…

Given an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$, an {\em $(\alpha,\beta)$-spanner} $H=(V,E')$ is a subgraph that approximately preserves distances; for every $u,v\in V$, $d_H(u,v)\le \alpha\cdot d_G(u,v)+\beta$. An $(\alpha,\beta)$-hopset is a graph…

A temporal graph is an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ along with a function that assigns a time-label to each edge in $E$. A path in $G$ with non-decreasing time-labels is called temporal path and the distance from $u$ to $v$ is the minimum…

We provide new algorithms for constructing spanners of arbitrarily edge- or vertex-colored graphs, that can endure up to $f$ failures of entire color classes. The failure of even a single color may cause a linear number of individual…

Let $G$ be a directed graph with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, and let $s \in V(G)$ be a designated source vertex. We consider the problem of single source reachability (SSR) from $s$ in presence of failures of edges (or vertices). Formally,…

In this paper, we present approximate distance and shortest-path oracles for fault-tolerant Euclidean spanners motivated by the routing problem in real-world road networks. An $f$-fault-tolerant Euclidean $t$-spanner for a set $V$ of $n$…

Given a graph $Y$ on $n$ vertices and a desired level of fault-tolerance $k$, an objective in fault-tolerant system design is to construct a supergraph $X$ on $n + k$ vertices such that the removal of any $k$ nodes from $X$ leaves a graph…

We introduce and investigate a new notion of resilience in graph spanners. Let $S$ be a spanner of a graph $G$. Roughly speaking, we say that a spanner $S$ is resilient if all its point-to-point distances are resilient to edge failures.…

We consider additive spanners of unweighted undirected graphs. Let $G$ be a graph and $H$ a subgraph of $G$. The most na\"ive way to construct an additive $k$-spanner of $G$ is the following: As long as $H$ is not an additive $k$-spanner…

Graph Sparsification aims at compressing large graphs into smaller ones while preserving important characteristics of the input graph. In this work we study Vertex Sparsifiers, i.e., sparsifiers whose goal is to reduce the number of…

We present a method which provides a unified framework for most stability theorems that have been proved in graph and hypergraph theory. Our main result reduces stability for a large class of hypergraph problems to the simpler question of…

Given two vertex sets $S$ and $T$ in a graph, the $ST$-diameter is the maximum $s$-$t$-distance between vertices $s \in S$ and $t \in T$. We study the problem of estimating the $ST$-diameter of graphs that are subject to a small number of…

A $t$-emulator of a graph $G$ is a graph $H$ that approximates its pairwise shortest path distances up to multiplicative $t$ error. We study fault tolerant $t$-emulators, under the model recently introduced by Bodwin, Dinitz, and Nazari…
