We consider single-sink network flow problems. An instance consists of a capacitated graph (directed or undirected), a sink node $t$ and a set of demands that we want to send to the sink. Here demand $i$ is located at a node $s_i$ and…

The network reconfiguration problem seeks to find a rooted tree $T$ such that the energy of the (unique) feasible electrical flow over $T$ is minimized. The tree requirement on the support of the flow is motivated by operational constraints…

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…

In this paper we study the fixed-parameter tractability of the problem of deciding whether a given temporal graph admits a temporal walk that visits all vertices (temporal exploration) or, in some problem variants, a certain subset of the…
