We study the reverse shortest path problem on disk graphs in the plane. In this problem we consider the proximity graph of a set of $n$ disks in the plane of arbitrary radii: In this graph two disks are connected if the distance between…

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…
While algebrisation constitutes a powerful technique in the design and analysis of centralised algorithms, to date there have been hardly any applications of algebraic techniques in the context of distributed graph algorithms. This work is…
In this paper, I present an algorithm called Raffica algorithm for Single-Source Shortest Path(SSSP). On random graph, this algorithm has linear time complexity(in expect). More precisely, the random graph uses configuration model, and the…
We study fundamental graph parameters such as the Diameter and Radius in directed graphs, when distances are measured using a somewhat unorthodox but natural measure: the distance between $u$ and $v$ is the minimum of the shortest path…
We continue the study of distance sensitivity oracles (DSOs). Given a directed graph $G$ with $n$ vertices and edge weights in $\{1, 2, \dots, M\}$, we want to build a data structure such that given any source vertex $u$, any target vertex…
We study the replacement paths problem in the $\mathsf{CONGEST}$ model of distributed computing. Given an $s$-$t$ shortest path $P$, the goal is to compute, for every edge $e$ in $P$, the shortest-path distance from $s$ to $t$ avoiding $e$.…
Roundtrip spanners are the analog of spanners in directed graphs, where the roundtrip metric is used as a notion of distance. Recent works have shown existential results of roundtrip spanners nearly matching the undirected case, but the…
We present an $O(nm)$ algorithm for all-pairs shortest paths computations in a directed graph with $n$ nodes, $m$ arcs, and nonnegative integer arc costs. This matches the complexity bound attained by Thorup \cite{Thorup1999} for the…
We present an all-pairs shortest path algorithm whose running time on a complete directed graph on $n$ vertices whose edge weights are chosen independently and uniformly at random from $[0,1]$ is $O(n^2)$, in expectation and with high…
In a series of papers, Avraham, Filtser, Kaplan, Katz, and Sharir (SoCG'14), Kaplan, Katz, Saban, and Sharir (ESA'23), and Katz, Saban, and Sharir (ESA'24) studied a class of geometric optimization problems -- including reverse shortest…
Amiri and Wargalla (2020) proved the following local-to-global theorem in directed acyclic graphs (DAGs): if $G$ is a weighted DAG such that for each subset $S$ of 3 nodes there is a shortest path containing every node in $S$, then there…
We study the directed global minimum vertex-cut problem: given a directed vertex-weighted graph $G$, compute a vertex-cut $(L,S,R)$ in $G$ of minimum value, which is defined to be the total weight of all vertices in $S$. The problem,…
The All-Pairs Shortest Path problem (APSP) is one of the most central problems in distributed computation. In the CONGEST-CLIQUE model, in which $n$ nodes communicate with each other over a fully connected network by exchanging messages of…
All-pairs shortest paths (APSP) remains a major bottleneck for large-scale graph analytics, as data movement with cubic complexity overwhelms the bandwidth of conventional memory hierarchies. In this work, we propose RAPID-Graph to address…
Various applications of graphs, in particular applications related to finding shortest paths, naturally get inputs with real weights on the edges. However, for algorithmic or visualization reasons, inputs with integer weights would often be…
Given a directed graph of nodes and edges connecting them, a common problem is to find the shortest path between any two nodes. Here we show that the shortest path distances can be found by a simple matrix inversion: If the edges are given…
Algebraic data structures are the main subroutine for maintaining distances in fully dynamic graphs in subquadratic time. However, these dynamic algebraic algorithms generally cannot maintain the shortest paths, especially against adaptive…
Given a graph with a source vertex $s$, the Single Source Replacement Paths (SSRP) problem is to compute, for every vertex $t$ and edge $e$, the length $d(s,t,e)$ of a shortest path from $s$ to $t$ that avoids $e$. A Single-Source Distance…
