In this paper we are interested in a version of the All-pairs Shortest Paths problem (APSP) that fits neither in the exact nor in the approximate case. We define a measure of centrality of a shortest path, related to the ``importance'' of…
We present a $(1+\varepsilon)$-approximate parallel algorithm for computing shortest paths in undirected graphs, achieving $\mathrm{poly}(\log n)$ depth and $m\mathrm{poly}(\log n)$ work for $n$-nodes $m$-edges graphs. Although sequential…
We give almost-linear-time algorithms for approximating rooted minimum cut and maximum arborescence packing in directed graphs, two problems that are dual to each other [Edm73]. More specifically, for an $n$-vertex, $m$-edge directed graph…

Flow sparsification is a classic graph compression technique which, given a capacitated graph $G$ on $k$ terminals, aims to construct another capacitated graph $H$, called a flow sparsifier, that preserves, either exactly or approximately,…
We introduce the notion of {\em fair cuts} as an approach to leverage approximate $(s,t)$-mincut (equivalently $(s,t)$-maxflow) algorithms in undirected graphs to obtain near-linear time approximation algorithms for several cut problems.…
This paper studies a variant of the minimum-cost flow problem in a graph with convex cost function where the demands at the vertices are functions depending on a one-dimensional parameter $\lambda$. We devise two algorithmic approaches for…
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 $s$…
