Let $G=(V,E)$ be a graph with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, with a designated set of $\sigma$ sources $S\subseteq V$. The fault tolerant subgraph for any graph problem maintains a sparse subgraph $H$ of $G$, such that for any set $F$ of $k$…

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…
