Maximum cardinality matching in bipartite graphs is an important and well-studied problem. The fully dynamic version, in which edges are inserted and deleted over time has also been the subject of much attention. Existing algorithms for…
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 the semi-streaming model for processing massive graphs, an algorithm makes multiple passes over the edges of a given $n$-vertex graph and is tasked with computing the solution to a problem using $O(n \cdot \text{polylog}(n))$ space.…
Many dynamic graph algorithms have an amortized update time, rather than a stronger worst-case guarantee. But amortized data structures are not suitable for real-time systems, where each individual operation has to be executed quickly. For…
In this paper, we study the set cover problem in the fully dynamic model. In this model, the set of active elements, i.e., those that must be covered at any given time, can change due to element arrivals and departures. The goal is to…
We give improved algorithms for maintaining edge-orientations of a fully-dynamic graph, such that the out-degree of each vertex is bounded. On one hand, we show how to orient the edges such that the out-degree of each vertex is proportional…
In the dynamic linear program (LP) problem, we are given an LP undergoing updates and we need to maintain an approximately optimal solution. Recently, significant attention (e.g., [Gupta et al. STOC'17; Arar et al. ICALP'18, Wajc STOC'20])…
