We consider the all pairs all shortest paths (APASP) problem, which maintains all of the multiple shortest paths for every vertex pair in a directed graph $G=(V,E)$ with a positive real weight on each edge. We present two fully dynamic…

We study dynamic $(1+\epsilon)$-approximation algorithms for the all-pairs shortest paths problem in unweighted undirected $n$-node $m$-edge graphs under edge deletions. The fastest algorithm for this problem is a randomized algorithm with…

We significantly improve known time bounds for solving the minimum cut problem on undirected graphs. We use a ``semi-duality'' between minimum cuts and maximum spanning tree packings combined with our previously developed random sampling…

We consider the problem of finding a minimum cut of a weighted graph presented as a single-pass stream. While graph sparsification in streams has been intensively studied, the specific application of finding minimum cuts in streams is less…

We provide a method to obtain beyond-worst-case time complexity for any single-source-shortest-path (SSSP) algorithm by exploiting modular structures in graphs. The key novelty is a graph decomposition, called the acyclic-connected (A-C)…

An $s{\operatorname{-}}t$ minimum cut in a graph corresponds to a minimum weight subset of edges whose removal disconnects vertices $s$ and $t$. Finding such a cut is a classic problem that is dual to that of finding a maximum flow from $s$…

Consider the following "local" cut-detection problem in a directed graph: We are given a seed vertex $x$ and need to remove at most $k$ edges so that at most $\nu$ edges can be reached from $x$ (a "local" cut) or output $\bot$ to indicate…

Reachability questions are one of the most fundamental algorithmic primitives in temporal graphs -- graphs whose edge set changes over discrete time steps. A core problem here is the NP-hard Short Restless Temporal Path: given a temporal…

One of the most fundamental problems in computer science is the reachability problem: Given a directed graph and two vertices s and t, can s reach t via a path? We revisit existing techniques and combine them with new approaches to support…

We present parallel algorithms for computing single-source reachability and shortest paths on directed $n$-vertex $m$-edge graphs using near-linear $\tilde{O}(m)$ work and $o(\sqrt{n})$ depth whenever $m\ge n^{1+o(1)}$. At the extreme of…
