We study the minimum \emph{Monitoring Edge Geodetic Set} (\megset) problem introduced in [Foucaud et al., CALDAM'23]: given a graph $G$, we say that an edge is monitored by a pair $u,v$ of vertices if \emph{all} shortest paths between $u$…

In the {\em distributed all-pairs shortest paths} problem (APSP), every node in the weighted undirected distributed network (the CONGEST model) needs to know the distance from every other node using least number of communication rounds…

For many popular graph metric sparsifiers, such as spanners, emulators, and preservers, simple and elegant greedy algorithms are known that achieve state-of-the-art or existentially optimal tradeoffs between size and quality. The goal of…

Consider an undirected weighted graph $G = (V,E,w)$. We study the problem of computing $(1+\epsilon)$-approximate shortest paths for $S \times V$, for a subset $S \subseteq V$ of $|S| = n^r$ sources, for some $0 < r \le 1$. We devise a…

We study a $(1+\epsilon)$-approximate single-source shortest paths (henceforth, $(1+\epsilon)$-SSSP) in $n$-vertex undirected, weighted graphs in the parallel (PRAM) model of computation. A randomized algorithm with polylogarithmic time and…

Let ${H}=(V, {E})$ be a hypergraph on the vertex set $V$ and edge set ${E}\subseteq 2^V$. We show that number of distinct {\it traces} on any $k-$ subset of $V$, is most $k.{\hat \alpha}(H)$, where ${\hat \alpha}(H)$ is the {\it degeneracy}…

We study the vertex-decremental Single-Source Shortest Paths (SSSP) problem: given an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ with lengths $\ell(e)\geq 1$ on its edges and a source vertex $s$, we need to support (approximate) shortest-path queries in…
