In this article, we study the efficient dynamical computation of all-pairs SimRanks on time-varying graphs. Li {\em et al}.'s approach requires $O(r^4 n^2)$ time and $O(r^2 n^2)$ memory in a graph with $n$ nodes, where $r$ is the target…
Dynamic connectivity is a well-studied problem, but so far the most compelling progress has been confined to the edge-update model: maintain an understanding of connectivity in an undirected graph, subject to edge insertions and deletions.…
We introduce a notion for hierarchical graph clustering which we call the expander hierarchy and show a fully dynamic algorithm for maintaining such a hierarchy on a graph with $n$ vertices undergoing edge insertions and deletions using…
Processing graphs with temporal information (the temporal graphs) has become increasingly important in the real world. In this paper, we study efficient solutions to temporal graph applications using new algorithms for Incremental Minimum…
In the dynamic Single-Source Shortest Paths (SSSP) problem, we are given a graph $G=(V,E)$ subject to edge insertions and deletions and a source vertex $s\in V$, and the goal is to maintain the distance $d(s,t)$ for all $t\in V$.…
Computing the Strongly-Connected Components (SCCs) in a graph $G=(V,E)$ is known to take only $O(m + n)$ time using an algorithm by Tarjan from 1972[SICOMP 72] where $m = |E|$, $n=|V|$. For fully-dynamic graphs, conditional lower bounds…

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…
We propose new succinct representations of ordinal trees, which have been studied extensively. It is known that any $n$-node static tree can be represented in $2n + o(n)$ bits and a number of operations on the tree can be supported in…
During the last 10 years it has become popular to study dynamic graph problems in a emergency planning or sensitivity setting: Instead of considering the general fully dynamic problem, we only have to process a single batch update of size…
