For $n$-vertex $m$-edge graphs with integer polynomially-bounded costs and capacities, we provide a randomized parallel algorithm for the minimum cost flow problem with $\tilde O(m+n^ {1.5})$ work and $\tilde O(\sqrt{n})$ depth. On…

Dijkstra's algorithm for the Single-Source Shortest Path (SSSP) problem is notoriously hard to parallelize in $o(n)$ depth, $n$ being the number of vertices in the input graph, without increasing the required parallel work unreasonably.…
