We give the first almost-linear total time algorithm for deciding if a flow of cost at most $F$ still exists in a directed graph, with edge costs and capacities, undergoing decremental updates, i.e., edge deletions, capacity decreases, and…

Given a graph $G$, let $vc(G)$ and $vc^+(G)$ be the sizes of a minimum and a maximum minimal vertex covers of $G$, respectively. We say that $G$ is well covered if $vc(G)=vc^+(G)$ (that is, all minimal vertex covers have the same size).…

For finite graphs, path-width is an interesting and useful concept, but if we extend it to infinite graphs in the most obvious way (by making the indexing path infinite), it does not work nicely. The simplest extension that works nicely is…

The notions of cutwidth and pathwidth of digraphs play a central role in the containment theory for tournaments, or more generally semi-complete digraphs, developed in a recent series of papers by Chudnovsky, Fradkin, Kim, Scott, and…

A network $\mathcal{N}$ is formed by a (multi)digraph $D$ together with a \emph{capacity function} $u : A(D) \to R_+$, and it is denoted by $\mathcal{N} = (D,u)$. A flow on $\mathcal{N}$ is a function $x: A(D) \to R_+$ such that $x(a) \leq…
