We revisit a classical graph-theoretic problem, the \textit{single-source shortest-path} (SSSP) problem, in weighted unit-disk graphs. We first propose an exact (and deterministic) algorithm which solves the problem in $O(n \log^2 n)$ time…

We generalize a previous framework for designing utility-optimal differentially private (DP) mechanisms via graphs, where datasets are vertices in the graph and edges represent dataset neighborhood. The boundary set contains datasets where…

Distributed data analysis is a large and growing field driven by a massive proliferation of user devices, and by privacy concerns surrounding the centralised storage of data. We consider two \emph{adaptive} algorithms for estimating one…

Many differentially private and classical non-private graph algorithms rely crucially on determining whether some property of each vertex meets a threshold. For example, for the $k$-core decomposition problem, the classic peeling algorithm…

Given a directed graph $G = (V,E)$, undergoing an online sequence of edge deletions with $m$ edges in the initial version of $G$ and $n = |V|$, we consider the problem of maintaining all-pairs shortest paths (APSP) in $G$. Whilst this…

We initiate a systematic study of worst-group risk minimization under $(\epsilon, \delta)$-differential privacy (DP). The goal is to privately find a model that approximately minimizes the maximal risk across $p$ sub-populations (groups)…

We study the sublinear space continual release model for edge-differentially private (DP) graph algorithms, with a focus on the densest subgraph problem (DSG) in the insertion-only setting. Our main result is the first continual release DSG…

We consider the Shortest Odd Path problem, where given an undirected graph $G$, a weight function on its edges, and two vertices $s$ and $t$ in $G$, the aim is to find an $(s,t)$-path with odd length and, among all such paths, of minimum…

Here the All-pairs shortest path problem on weighted undirected sparse graphs is being considered. For the problem considered, we propose ``disassembly and assembly of a graph'' algorithm which uses a solution of the problem on a…

In the $k$-Disjoint Shortest Paths ($k$-DSP) problem, we are given a weighted graph $G$ on $n$ nodes and $m$ edges with specified source vertices $s_1, \dots, s_k$, and target vertices $t_1, \dots, t_k$, and are tasked with determining if…

In this note, we consider the problem of differentially privately (DP) computing an anonymized histogram, which is defined as the multiset of counts of the input dataset (without bucket labels). In the low-privacy regime $\epsilon \geq 1$,…
