One model of message delivery in a computer network is based on labelling each edge by a subset of a (reasonably small) universal set, and then encoding a path as the union of the labels of its edges. Earlier work suggested using random…
Hybrid networks, i.e., networks that leverage different means of communication, become ever more widespread. To allow theoretical study of such networks, [Augustine et al., SODA'20] introduced the $\mathsf{HYBRID}$ model, which is based on…
Let $G$ be a directed graph with $n$ vertices, $m$ edges, and non-negative edge costs. Given $G$, a fixed source vertex $s$, and a positive integer $p$, we consider the problem of computing, for each vertex $t\neq s$, $p$ edge-disjoint…
Let $G$ be a unit disk graph in the plane defined by $n$ disks whose positions are known. For the case when $G$ is unweighted, we give a simple algorithm to compute a shortest path tree from a given source in $O(n\log n)$ time. For the case…
We design an algorithm for computing connectivity in hypergraphs which runs in time $\hat O_r(p + \min\{\lambda^{\frac{r-3}{r-1}} n^2, n^r/\lambda^{r/(r-1)}\})$ (the $\hat O_r(\cdot)$ hides the terms subpolynomial in the main parameter and…
The future of main memory appears to lie in the direction of new technologies that provide strong capacity-to-performance ratios, but have write operations that are much more expensive than reads in terms of latency, bandwidth, and energy.…
Given a weighted undirected graph $G=(V,E,w)$, a hopset $H$ of hopbound $\beta$ and stretch $(1+\epsilon)$ is a set of edges such that for any pair of nodes $u, v \in V$, there is a path in $G \cup H$ of at most $\beta$ hops, whose length…

Let $S$ be a set of $n$ points in a polygon $P$ with $m$ vertices. The geodesic unit-disk graph $G(S)$ induced by $S$ has vertex set $S$ and contains an edge between two vertices whenever their geodesic distance in $P$ is at most one. In…
A prominent tool in many problems involving metric spaces is a notion of randomized low-diameter decomposition. Loosely speaking, $\beta$-decomposition refers to a probability distribution over partitions of the metric into sets of low…
This paper addresses the problem of finding shortest paths homotopic to a given disjoint set of paths that wind amongst point obstacles in the plane. We present a faster algorithm than previously known.
We present a new preprocessing algorithm for embedding the nodes of a given edge-weighted undirected graph into a Euclidean space. The Euclidean distance between any two nodes in this space approximates the length of the shortest path…
For given a pair of nodes in a graph, the minimum non-separating path problem looks for a minimum weight path between the two nodes such that the remaining graph after removing the path is still connected. The balanced connected bipartition…
Given an undirected graph with edge costs and node weights, the minimum bisection problem asks for a partition of the nodes into two parts of equal weight such that the sum of edge costs between the parts is minimized. We give a polynomial…

This paper investigates the problem of computing the shortest path between two states under resource constraints in environments with resource-replenishment regions. Namely, the length of the path is limited by a budget that can be restored…
In the graph stream model of computation, an algorithm processes the edges of an input graph in one or more sequential passes while using a memory sublinear in the input size. This model poses significant challenges for constructing long…
Consider an undirected weighted graph $G = (V,E,w)$. We study the problem of computing $(1+\epsilon)$-approximate shortest paths for $S \times V$, for a subset $S \subseteq V$ of $|S| = n^r$ sources, for some $0 < r \le 1$. We devise a…
We consider the problem of computing shortest paths in hybrid networks, in which nodes can make use of different communication modes. For example, mobile phones may use ad-hoc connections via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi in addition to the cellular…
