We present a deterministic $(1+o(1))$-approximation $(n^{1/2+o(1)}+D^{1+o(1)})$-time algorithm for solving the single-source shortest paths problem on distributed weighted networks (the CONGEST model); here $n$ is the number of nodes in the…

We design a deterministic algorithm for the $(1+\epsilon)$-approximate maximum matching problem. Our primary result demonstrates that this problem can be solved in $O(\epsilon^{-6})$ semi-streaming passes, improving upon the…

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 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…

The Constraint Shortest Path (CSP) problem is as follows. An $n$-vertex graph is given, each edge/arc assigned two weights. Let us call them "cost" and "length" for definiteness. Finding a min-cost upper-bounded length path between a given…

Very recently a new algorithm to the nonnegative single-source shortest path problem on road networks has been discovered. It is very cache-efficient, but only on static road networks. We show how to augment it to the time-dependent…

We study two popular ways to sketch the shortest path distances of an input graph. The first is distance preservers, which are sparse subgraphs that agree with the distances of the original graph on a given set of demand pairs. Prior work…

In this paper we provide an algorithm which given any $m$-edge $n$-vertex directed graph with integer capacities at most $U$ computes a maximum $s$-$t$ flow for any vertices $s$ and $t$ in $m^{11/8+o(1)}U^{1/4}$ time with high probability.…

We present an algorithm for the k shortest simple path problem on weighted directed graphs (kSSP) that is based on Eppstein's algorithm for a similar problem in which paths are allowed to contain cycles. In contrast to most other algorithms…

APSP with small integer weights in undirected graphs [Seidel'95, Galil and Margalit'97] has an $\tilde{O}(n^\omega)$ time algorithm, where $\omega<2.373$ is the matrix multiplication exponent. APSP in directed graphs with small weights…

We study the communication complexity and streaming complexity of approximating unweighted semi-matchings. A semi-matching in a bipartite graph G = (A, B, E), with n = |A|, is a subset of edges S that matches all A vertices to B vertices…
