In this paper we propose a dynamic data structure that supports efficient algorithms for updating and querying singly connected Bayesian networks (causal trees and polytrees). In the conventional algorithms, new evidence in absorbed in time…
An algorithm on weighted graphs is called universally optimal if it is optimal for every input graph, in the worst case taken over all weight assignments. Informally, this means the algorithm is competitive even with algorithms that are…
A dynamic forest data structure maintains a forest (and associated data like edge weights) under edge insertions and deletions. Dynamic forests are widely used to solve online and offline graph problems. Well-known examples of dynamic…
We show how a few modifications to the red-black trees allow for $O(1)$ worst-case update time (once the position of the inserted or deleted element is known). The resulting structure is based on relaxing some of the properties of the…
We present a novel space-efficient graph coarsening technique for $n$-vertex planar graphs $G$, called cloud partition, which partitions the vertices $V(G)$ into disjoint sets $C$ of size $O(\log n)$ such that each $C$ induces a connected…

The connection between the maximum spanning tree in a directed graph and the best dependency tree of a sentence has been exploited by the NLP community. However, for many dependency parsing schemes, an important detail of this approach is…
Depth first search (DFS) tree is a fundamental data structure for solving various problems in graphs. It is well known that it takes $O(m+n)$ time to build a DFS tree for a given undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ on $n$ vertices and $m$ edges. We…
For $n$-vertex graphs with treewidth $k = O(n^{1/2-\epsilon})$ and an arbitrary $\epsilon>0$, we present a word-RAM algorithm to compute vertex separators using only $O(n)$ bits of working memory. As an application of our algorithm, we give…
Spanning trees of low average stretch on the non-tree edges, as introduced by Alon et al. [SICOMP 1995], are a natural graph-theoretic object. In recent years, they have found significant applications in solvers for symmetric diagonally…
Given a plane forest $F = (V, E)$ of $|V| = n$ points, we find the minimum set $S \subseteq E$ of edges such that the edge-constrained minimum spanning tree over the set $V$ of vertices and the set $S$ of constraints contains $F$. We…
We present a new threshold phenomenon in data structure lower bounds where slightly reduced update times lead to exploding query times. Consider incremental connectivity, letting t_u be the time to insert an edge and t_q be the query time.…
In the recent research of data mining, frequent structures in a sequence of graphs have been studied intensively, and one of the main concern is changing structures along a sequence of graphs that can capture dynamic properties of data. On…
Depth first search (DFS) tree is one of the most well-known data structures for designing efficient graph algorithms. Given an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, the textbook algorithm takes $O(n+m)$ time to…
Given a weighted undirected graph $G=(V,E,w)$, a hopset $H$ of hopbound $\beta$ and stretch $(1+\epsilon)$ is a set of edges such that for any pair of nodes $u, v \in V$, there is a path in $G \cup H$ of at most $\beta$ hops, whose length…

We introduce new data structures for answering connectivity queries in graphs subject to batched vertex failures. A deterministic structure processes a batch of $d\leq d_{\star}$ failed vertices in $\tilde{O}(d^3)$ time and thereafter…
The {Congested Clique} is a distributed-computing model for single-hop networks with restricted bandwidth that has been very intensively studied recently. It models a network by an $n$-vertex graph in which any pair of vertices can…
We give a fully dynamic deterministic algorithm for maintaining a maximal matching of an $n$-vertex graph in $\tilde{O}(n^{8/9})$ amortized update time. This breaks the long-standing $\Omega(n)$-update-time barrier on dense graphs,…
We study Clustered Planarity with Linear Saturators, which is the problem of augmenting an $n$-vertex planar graph whose vertices are partitioned into independent sets (called clusters) with paths - one for each cluster - that connect all…
