We provide a deterministic algorithm for computing the $5$-edge-connected components of an undirected multigraph in linear time. There were probably good indications that this computation can be performed in linear time, but no such…
It is unlikely that the discrete Fr\'echet distance between two curves of length $n$ can be computed in strictly subquadratic time. We thus consider the setting where one of the curves, $P$, is known in advance. In particular, we wish to…
In the pairwise weighted spanner problem, the input consists of an $n$-vertex-directed graph, where each edge is assigned a cost and a length. Given $k$ vertex pairs and a distance constraint for each pair, the goal is to find a…
We study the succinct representations of vertex cuts by centralized oracles and labeling schemes. For an undirected $n$-vertex graph $G = (V,E)$ and integer parameter $f \geq 1$, the goal is supporting vertex cut queries: Given $F \subseteq…
We study the problem of reconstructing a hidden graph given access to a distance oracle. We design randomized algorithms for the following problems: reconstruction of a degree bounded graph with query complexity $\tilde{O}(n^{3/2})$;…
We design the first efficient sensitivity oracles and dynamic algorithms for a variety of parameterized problems. Our main approach is to modify the algebraic coding technique from static parameterized algorithm design, which had not…
We develop new $(1+\epsilon)$-approximation algorithms for finding the global minimum edge-cut in a directed edge-weighted graph, and for finding the global minimum vertex-cut in a directed vertex-weighted graph. Our algorithms are…
We study point-to-point distance estimation in hypergraphs, where the query is parameterized by a positive integer s, which defines the required level of overlap for two hyperedges to be considered adjacent. To answer s-distance queries, we…
Fault-tolerant spanners are fundamental objects that preserve distances in graphs even under edge failures. A long line of work culminating in Bodwin, Dinitz, Robelle (SODA 2022) gives $(2k-1)$-stretch, $f$-fault-tolerant spanners with…
In this work we derandomize two central results in graph algorithms, replacement paths and distance sensitivity oracles (DSOs) matching in both cases the running time of the randomized algorithms. For the replacement paths problem, let G =…
In fault-tolerant distance labeling we wish to assign short labels to the vertices of a graph $G$ such that from the labels of any three vertices $u,v,f$ we can infer the $u$-to-$v$ distance in the graph $G\setminus \{f\}$. We show that any…
We aim to find orientations of mixed graphs optimizing the total reachability, a problem that has applications in causality and biology. For given a digraph $D$, we use $P(D)$ for the set of ordered pairs of distinct vertices in $V(D)$ and…
Given a graph $G=(V,E)$ and two vertices $s,t\in V$, the $f$-fault replacement path ($f$FRP) problem computes for every set of edges $F$ where $|F|\leq f$, the distance from $s$ to $t$ when edges in $F$ fail. A recent result shows that 2FRP…
We consider approximate {\em path-reporting} distance oracles, distance labeling and labeled routing with extremely low space requirement, for general undirected graphs. For distance oracles, we show how to break the n\log n space bound of…
We present the first approximate distance oracle for sparse directed networks with time-dependent arc-travel-times determined by continuous, piecewise linear, positive functions possessing the FIFO property. Our approach precomputes…
Given an $n$-vertex undirected graph $G=(V,E,w)$, and a parameter $k\geq1$, a path-reporting distance oracle (or PRDO) is a data structure of size $S(n,k)$, that given a query $(u,v)\in V^2$, returns an $f(k)$-approximate shortest $u-v$…
Computing the diameter of a graph is a problem of great interest both in general algorithms research and specifically within fine-grained complexity, where it is a cornerstone hard problem. Recent work has achieved a full conditional lower…

We study optimization problems in a metric space $(\mathcal{X},d)$ where we can compute distances in two ways: via a ''strong'' oracle that returns exact distances $d(x,y)$, and a ''weak'' oracle that returns distances $\tilde{d}(x,y)$…
Let $G$ be an unweighted, undirected graph. An additive $k$-spanner of $G$ is a subgraph $H$ that approximates all distances between pairs of nodes up to an additive error of $+k$, that is, it satisfies $d_H(u,v) \le d_G(u,v)+k$ for all…
