Physical dynamic networks most commonly consist of interconnections of physical components that can be described by diffusive couplings. These diffusive couplings imply that the cause-effect relationships in the interconnections are…

We give a randomized algorithm that finds a minimum cut in an undirected weighted $m$-edge $n$-vertex graph $G$ with high probability in $O(m \log^2 n)$ time. This is the first improvement to Karger's celebrated $O(m \log^3 n)$ time…

Let G=(V,E) be a graph with f:V\to Z_+ a function assigning degree bounds to vertices. We present the first efficient algebraic algorithm to find an f-factor. The time is \tilde{O}(f(V)^{\omega}). More generally for graphs with integral…

Given an undirected graph $G$, the problem of deciding whether $G$ admits a simple and proper time-labeling that makes it temporally connected is known to be NP-hard (G\"obel et al., 1991). In this article, we relax this problem and ask…

In this paper, we investigate some basic connectivity problems in directed graphs (digraphs). Let $G$ be a digraph with $m$ edges and $n$ vertices, and let $G\setminus e$ be the digraph obtained after deleting edge $e$ from $G$. As a first…

We present the first truly subcubic, combinatorial algorithm for detecting an induced $4$-cycle in a graph. The running time is $O(n^{2.84})$ on $n$-node graphs, thus separating the task of detecting induced $4$-cycles from detecting…

Computing a shortest path between two nodes in an undirected unweighted graph is among the most basic algorithmic tasks. Breadth first search solves this problem in linear time, which is clearly also a lower bound in the worst case.…

We consider decomposing a 3-connected planar graph $G$ using laminar separators of size three. We show how to find a maximal set of laminar 3-separators in such a graph in linear time. We also discuss how to find maximal laminar set of…

We give a deterministic algorithm for computing a global minimum vertex cut in a vertex-weighted graph $n$ vertices and $m$ edges in $\widehat O(mn)$ time. This breaks the long-standing $\widehat \Omega(n^{4})$-time barrier in dense graphs,…

For two vertices $s$ and $t$ in a graph $G=(V,E)$, the next-to-shortest path is an $st$-path which length is minimum amongst all $st$-paths strictly longer than the shortest path length. In this paper we show that, when the graph is…

Consider an undirected graph $G = (VG, EG)$ and a set of six \emph{terminals} $T = \set{s_1, s_2, s_3, t_1, t_2, t_3} \subseteq VG$. The goal is to find a collection $\calP$ of three edge-disjoint paths $P_1$, $P_2$, and $P_3$, where $P_i$…
