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…

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…

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 establish the first update-time separation between dynamic algorithms against oblivious adversaries and those against adaptive adversaries in natural dynamic graph problems, based on popular fine-grained complexity hypotheses.…

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 fundamental question is whether one can maintain a maximum independent set in polylogarithmic update time for a dynamic collection of geometric objects in Euclidean space. Already, for a set of intervals, it is known that no dynamic…

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…

We study a simple random process that computes a maximal independent set (MIS) on a general $n$-vertex graph. Each vertex has a binary state, black or white, where black indicates inclusion into the MIS. The vertex states are arbitrary…

Maximal Independent Set (MIS) is one of the fundamental problems in distributed computing. The round (time) complexity of distributed MIS has traditionally focused on the \emph{worst-case time} for all nodes to finish. The best-known…

Whether a graph $G=(V,E)$ is connected is arguably its most fundamental property. Naturally, connectivity was the first characteristic studied for dynamic graphs, i.e. graphs that undergo edge insertions and deletions. While connectivity…

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…
