Given an $n$-vertex planar embedded digraph $G$ with non-negative edge weights and a face $f$ of $G$, Klein presented a data structure with $O(n\log n)$ space and preprocessing time which can answer any query $(u,v)$ for the shortest path…

Computing the diameter of a graph, i.e. the largest distance, is a fundamental problem that is central in fine-grained complexity. In undirected graphs, the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis (SETH) yields a lower bound on the time vs.…

Let G be an input graph with n vertices and m edges and let k be a fixed parameter. We provide a single exponential FPT algorithm with running time O(c^kn(n+m)), c= min {18,k} that turns graph G into an interval graph by deleting at most k…

We introduce the following submodular generalization of the Shortest Cycle problem. For a nonnegative monotone submodular cost function $f$ defined on the edges (or the vertices) of an undirected graph $G$, we seek for a cycle $C$ in $G$ of…

On sparse graphs, Roditty and Williams [2013] proved that no $O(n^{2-\varepsilon})$-time algorithm achieves an approximation factor smaller than $\frac{3}{2}$ for the diameter problem unless SETH fails. In this article, we solve an open…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be an undirected weighted graph on $n=|V|$ vertices and $S\subseteq V$ be a Steiner set. Steiner mincut is a well-studied concept, which provides a generalization to both (s,t)-mincut (when $|S|=2$) and global mincut (when…

Inspired by a width invariant defined on permutations by Guillemot and Marx [SODA '14], we introduce the notion of twin-width on graphs and on matrices. Proper minor-closed classes, bounded rank-width graphs, map graphs, $K_t$-free unit…

We prove that the flow-cut gap for $n$-node directed graphs is at most $n^{1/3 + o(1)}$. This is the first improvement since a previous upper bound of $\widetilde{O}(n^{11/23})$ by Agarwal, Alon, and Charikar (STOC '07), and it narrows the…

Consider a directed or an undirected graph with integral edge weights from the set [-W, W], that does not contain negative weight cycles. In this paper, we introduce a general framework for solving problems on such graphs using matrix…

Finding the diameter of a graph in general cannot be done in truly subquadratic assuming the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis (SETH), even when the underlying graph is unweighted and sparse. When restricting to concrete classes of graphs…

In 2001 Thorup and Zwick devised a distance oracle, which given an $n$-vertex undirected graph and a parameter $k$, has size $O(k n^{1+1/k})$. Upon a query $(u,v)$ their oracle constructs a $(2k-1)$-approximate path $\Pi$ between $u$ and…

An important tool in the design of fault-tolerant graph data structures are $(L,f)$-replacement path coverings (RPCs). An RPC is a family $\mathcal{G}$ of subgraphs of a given graph $G$ such that, for every set $F$ of at most $f$ edges,…

A directed odd cycle transversal of a directed graph (digraph) $D$ is a vertex set $S$ that intersects every odd directed cycle of $D$. In the Directed Odd Cycle Transversal (DOCT) problem, the input consists of a digraph $D$ and an integer…

$ \def\vecc#1{\boldsymbol{#1}} $We design a polynomial time algorithm that for any weighted undirected graph $G = (V, E,\vecc w)$ and sufficiently large $\delta > 1$, partitions $V$ into subsets $V_1, \ldots, V_h$ for some $h\geq 1$, such…

In this paper we study the Steiner tree problem over a dynamic set of terminals. We consider the model where we are given an $n$-vertex graph $G=(V,E,w)$ with positive real edge weights, and our goal is to maintain a tree which is a good…

The replacement paths problem for directed graphs is to find for given nodes s and t and every edge e on the shortest path between them, the shortest path between s and t which avoids e. For unweighted directed graphs on n vertices, the…

Simulating the dynamics of electrons and other fermionic particles in quantum chemistry, materials science, and high-energy physics is one of the most promising applications of fault-tolerant quantum computers. However, the overhead in…

We study {\em breadth-first search (BFS)} spanning trees, and address the problem of designing a sparse {\em fault-tolerant} BFS structure, or {\em FT-BFS } for short, resilient to the failure of up to two edges in the given undirected…

A fault-tolerant quantum computer must decode and correct errors faster than they appear. The faster errors can be corrected, the more time the computer can do useful work. The Union-Find (UF) decoder is promising with an average time…

We study the problem of finding the cycle of minimum cost-to-time ratio in a directed graph with $ n $ nodes and $ m $ edges. This problem has a long history in combinatorial optimization and has recently seen interesting applications in…
