We present an algorithm for maintaining maximal matching in a graph under addition and deletion of edges. Our data structure is randomized that takes O(log n) expected amortized time for each edge update where n is the number of vertices in…
A maximal matching can be maintained in fully dynamic (supporting both addition and deletion of edges) $n$-vertex graphs using a trivial deterministic algorithm with a worst-case update time of O(n). No deterministic algorithm that…

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,…

Baswana, Gupta and Sen [FOCS'11] showed that fully dynamic maximal matching can be maintained in general graphs with logarithmic amortized update time. More specifically, starting from an empty graph on $n$ fixed vertices, they devised a…
We initiate the study of approximate maximum matching in the vertex partition model, for graphs subject to dynamic changes. We assume that the $n$ vertices of the graph are partitioned among $k$ players, who execute a distributed algorithm…
We study fully dynamic algorithms for maximum matching. This is a well-studied problem, known to admit several update-time/approximation trade-offs. For instance, it is known how to maintain a 1/2-approximate matching in $\log^{O(1)} n$…
We consider the problems of maintaining an approximate maximum matching and an approximate minimum vertex cover in a dynamic graph undergoing a sequence of edge insertions/deletions. Starting with the seminal work of Onak and Rubinfeld…
We present a work optimal algorithm for parallel fully batch-dynamic maximal matching against an oblivious adversary. It processes batches of updates (either insertions or deletions of edges) in constant expected amortized work per edge…
In the (fully) dynamic set cover problem, we have a collection of $m$ sets from a universe of size $n$ that undergo element insertions and deletions; the goal is to maintain an approximate set cover of the universe after each update. We…

A maximal independent set (MIS) can be maintained in an evolving $m$-edge graph by simply recomputing it from scratch in $O(m)$ time after each update. But can it be maintained in time sublinear in $m$ in fully dynamic graphs? We answer…
We propose a fully dynamic algorithm for maintaining reachability information in directed graphs. The proposed deterministic dynamic algorithm has an update time of $O((ins*n^{2}) + (del * (m+n*log(n))))$ where $m$ is the current number of…
In fully dynamic graphs, we know how to maintain a 2-approximation of maximum matching extremely fast, that is, in polylogarithmic update time or better. In a sharp contrast and despite extensive studies, all known algorithms that maintain…
In this paper, we study the maximum matching problem in RDV graphs, i.e., graphs that are vertex-intersection graphs of downward paths in a rooted tree. We show that this problem can be reduced to a problem of testing (repeatedly) whether a…

The maximum matching problem in dynamic graphs subject to edge updates (insertions and deletions) has received much attention over the last few years; a multitude of approximation/time tradeoffs were obtained, improving upon the folklore…
We present the first (randomized) parallel dynamic algorithm for maximal matching, which can process an arbitrary number of updates simultaneously. Given a batch of edge deletion or insertion updates to the graph, our parallel algorithm…
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…
