A $t$-spanner of a graph $G$ is a subgraph $H$ in which all distances are preserved up to a multiplicative $t$ factor. A classical result of Alth\"ofer et al. is that for every integer $k$ and every graph $G$, there is a $(2k-1)$-spanner of…
In this paper, we revisit the classic approximate All-Pairs Shortest Paths (APSP) problem in undirected graphs. For unweighted graphs, we provide an algorithm for $2$-approximate APSP in $\tilde O(n^{2.5-r}+n^{\omega(r)})$ time, for any…

Reachability, distance, and matching are some of the most fundamental graph problems that have been of particular interest in dynamic complexity theory in recent years [DKMSZ18, DMVZ18, DKMTVZ20]. Reachability can be maintained with…
We propose a new approach to compute an interval over-approximation of the finite time reachable set for a large class of nonlinear systems. This approach relies on the notions of sensitivity matrices, which are the partial derivatives…
We study vertex sparsification for preserving cuts. Given a graph $G$ with a subset $|T|=k$ of its vertices called terminals, a \emph{quality-$q$ cut sparsifier} is a graph $G'$ that contains $T$, such that, for any partition $(T_1,T_2)$ of…

Given an $n$-vertex $m$-edge digraph $G = (V,E)$ and a set $S \subseteq V$, $|S| = n^{\sigma}$ (for some $0 < \sigma \le 1$) of designated sources, the $S \times V$-direachability problem is to compute for every $s \in S$, the set of all…
We survey graph reachability indexing techniques for efficient processing of graph reachability queries in two types of popular graph models: plain graphs and edge-labeled graphs. Reachability queries are Boolean in nature, determining…
We consider the task of topology discovery of sparse random graphs using end-to-end random measurements (e.g., delay) between a subset of nodes, referred to as the participants. The rest of the nodes are hidden, and do not provide any…
We consider labeling nodes of a directed graph for reachability queries. A reachability labeling scheme for such a graph assigns a binary string, called a label, to each node. Then, given the labels of nodes $u$ and $v$ and no other…
We revisit the problem of fault-tolerant (FT) distance preservers, when failure events in the network admit a form of correlation modeled as color faults. FT distance preservers are sparse subgraphs that preserve distances between specified…

Traditional graph centrality measures effectively quantify node importance but fail to capture the structural uniqueness of multi-scale connectivity patterns -- critical for understanding network resilience and function. This paper…
Cut and spectral sparsification of graphs have numerous applications, including e.g. speeding up algorithms for cuts and Laplacian solvers. These powerful notions have recently been extended to hypergraphs, which are much richer and may…
