While in many graph mining applications it is crucial to handle a stream of updates efficiently in terms of {\em both} time and space, not much was known about achieving such type of algorithm. In this paper we study this issue for a…

We present an optimal oracle for answering connectivity queries in undirected graphs in the presence of at most three vertex failures. Specifically, we show that we can process a graph $G$ in $O(n+m)$ time, in order to build a data…

Given an undirected, anonymous, port-labeled graph of $n$ memory-less nodes, $m$ edges, and degree $\Delta$, we consider the problem of dispersing $k\leq n$ robots (or tokens) positioned initially arbitrarily on one or more nodes of the…

We describe a simple variant of Hierholzer's algorithm that finds an Eulerian cycle in a (multi)graph with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges using $\mathrm{O}(n \lg m)$ bits of working memory. This substantially improves the working space compared…

We design $f$-edge fault-tolerant diameter oracles ($f$-FDOs). We preprocess a given graph $G$ on $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, and a positive integer $f$, to construct a data structure that, when queried with a set $F$ of $|F| \leq f$ edges,…

We present a new algorithm for maintaining a DFS tree of an arbitrary directed graph under any sequence of edge insertions. Our algorithm requires a total of $O(m\cdot n)$ time in the worst case to process a sequence of edge insertions,…

Although Breadth-First Search (BFS) has several advantages over Depth-First Search (DFS) its prohibitive space requirements have meant that algorithm designers often pass it over in favor of DFS. To address this shortcoming, we introduce a…
