The focus of this paper is two fold. Firstly, we present a logical approach to graph modification problems such as minimum node deletion, edge deletion, edge augmentation problems by expressing them as an expression in first order (FO)…
We present a deterministic fully-dynamic data structure for maintaining information about the cut-vertices in a graph; i.e. the vertices whose removal would disconnect the graph. Our data structure supports insertion and deletion of edges,…
In this paper we present an efficient reachability oracle under single-edge or single-vertex failures for planar directed graphs. Specifically, we show that a planar digraph $G$ can be preprocessed in $O(n\log^2{n}/\log\log{n})$ time,…
We use real-world contact sequences, time-ordered lists of contacts from one person to another, to study how fast information or disease can spread across network of contacts. Specifically we measure the reachability time -- the average…
We address the problem of testing whether a dynamic graph is temporally connected, i.e. a temporal path ({\em journey}) exists between all pairs of vertices. We consider a discrete version of the problem, where the topology is given as an…
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 study fundamental graph parameters such as the Diameter and Radius in directed graphs, when distances are measured using a somewhat unorthodox but natural measure: the distance between $u$ and $v$ is the minimum of the shortest path…
A distance oracle (DO) with stretch $(\alpha, \beta)$ for a graph $G$ is a data structure that, when queried with vertices $s$ and $t$, returns a value $\widehat{d}(s,t)$ such that $d(s,t) \le \widehat{d}(s,t) \le \alpha \cdot d(s,t) +…
Consider the following distance query for an $n$-node graph $G$ undergoing edge insertions and deletions: given two sets of nodes $I$ and $J$, return the distances between every pair of nodes in $I\times J$. This query is rather general and…
A reachability preserver is a basic kind of graph sparsifier, which preserves the reachability relation of an $n$-node directed input graph $G$ among a set of given demand pairs $P$ of size $|P|=p$. We give constructions of sparse…
We show that if the degree sequence of a graph $G$ is close in $\ell_1$-distance to a given realizable degree sequence $(d_1,\dots,d_n)$, then $G$ is close in edit distance to a graph with degree sequence $(d_1,\dots,d_n)$. We then use this…
One of the most basic, longstanding open problems in the theory of dynamical systems is whether reachability is decidable for one-dimensional piecewise affine maps with two intervals. In this paper we prove that for injective maps, it is…
The measurement called accessibility has been proposed as a means to quantify the efficiency of the communication between nodes in complex networks. This article reports important results regarding the properties of the accessibility,…
Graph algorithms applied in many applications, including social networks, communication networks, VLSI design, graphics, and several others, require dynamic modifications -- addition and removal of vertices and/or edges -- in the graph.…
We present two algorithms for dynamically maintaining a spanning forest of a graph undergoing edge insertions and deletions. Our algorithms guarantee {\em worst-case update time} and work against an adaptive adversary, meaning that an edge…
The dynamic shortest paths problem on planar graphs asks us to preprocess a planar graph $G$ such that we may support insertions and deletions of edges in $G$ as well as distance queries between any two nodes $u,v$ subject to the constraint…
We address the problem of testing whether a given dynamic graph is temporally connected, {\it i.e} a temporal path (also called a {\em journey}) exists between all pairs of vertices. We consider a discrete version of the problem, where the…
Let $P \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ be a set of $n$ points in $d$ dimensions such that each point $p \in P$ has an associated radius $r_p > 0$. The transmission graph $G$ for $P$ is the directed graph with vertex set $P$ such that there is an edge…
Reachability analysis is a fundamental program analysis with a wide variety of applications. We present FlowCFL, a framework for type-based reachability analysis in the presence of mutable data. Interestingly, the underlying semantics of…
We introduce the first cut-free nested sequent systems for first-order modal logics that admit increasing, decreasing, constant, and empty domains along with so-called general path conditions and seriality. We obtain such systems by means…
