We study distributed computation in synchronous dynamic networks where an omniscient adversary controls the unidirectional communication links. Its behavior is modeled as a sequence of directed graphs representing the active (i.e. timely)…
In this paper we consider the problem of computing the $2$-vertex-connected components ($2$-vccs) of directed graphs. We present two new algorithms for solving this problem. The first algorithm runs in $O(mn^{2})$ time, the second in…
A distance oracle (DO) with stretch $(\alpha, \beta)$ for a graph $G$ is a data structure that, when queried with vertices $s$ and $t$, returns a value $\widehat{d}(s,t)$ such that $d(s,t) \le \widehat{d}(s,t) \le \alpha \cdot d(s,t) +…
The goal in the stochastic vertex cover problem is to obtain an approximately minimum vertex cover for a graph $G^\star$ that is realized by sampling each edge independently with some probability $p\in (0, 1]$ in a base graph $G = (V, E)$.…
Connectivity (or equivalently, unweighted maximum flow) is an important measure in graph theory and combinatorial optimization. Given a graph $G$ with vertices $s$ and $t$, the connectivity $\lambda(s,t)$ from $s$ to $t$ is defined to be…
Recent work by Elmasry et al. (STACS 2015) and Asano et al. (ISAAC 2014), reconsidered classical fundamental graph algorithms focusing on improving the space complexity. We continue this line of work focusing on space. Our first result is a…
Depth first search is a fundamental graph problem having a wide range of applications. For a graph $G=(V,E)$ having $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, the DFS tree can be computed in $O(m+n)$ using $O(m)$ space where $m=O(n^2)$. In the streaming…
We address the problem of testing whether a given dynamic graph is temporally connected, {\it i.e} a temporal path (also called a {\em journey}) exists between all pairs of vertices. We consider a discrete version of the problem, where the…
We examine the complexity of the online Dictionary Matching with One Gap Problem (DMOG) which is the following. Preprocess a dictionary $D$ of $d$ patterns, where each pattern contains a special gap symbol that can match any string, so that…
Moving an autonomous agent through an unknown environment is one of the crucial problems for robotics and network analysis. Therefore, it received a lot of attention in the last decades and was analyzed in many different settings. The graph…
Graph algorithms applied in many applications, including social networks, communication networks, VLSI design, graphics, and several others, require dynamic modifications -- addition and removal of vertices and/or edges -- in the graph.…
For the task of moving a group of indistinguishable agents on a connected graph with unit edge lengths into an arbitrary goal formation, it was previously shown that distance optimal paths can be scheduled to complete with a tight…
A digraph $D$ is an oriented graph if $D$ does not have a pair of opposite arcs. The degree of a vertex $v$ of $D$ is the sum of the in-degree and out-degree of $v.$ Let $fvs(D)$ be the minimum number of vertices whose deletion from $D$…
The paper focuses on two problems: (i) how to orient the edges of an undirected graph in order to maximize the number of ordered vertex pairs (x,y) such that there is a directed path from x to y, and (ii) how to orient the edges so as to…
We study the problem of learning an unknown graph provided via an oracle using a quantum algorithm. We consider three query models. In the first model ("OR queries"), the oracle returns whether a given subset of the vertices contains any…
Consider the following "local" cut-detection problem in a directed graph: We are given a starting vertex $s$ and need to detect whether there is a cut with at most $k$ edges crossing the cut such that the side of the cut containing $s$ has…
We study the following Independent Stable Set problem. Let G be an undirected graph and M = (V(G),I) be a matroid whose elements are the vertices of G. For an integer k\geq 1, the task is to decide whether G contains a set S\subseteq V(G)…

The problem of finding a minimum-weight connected dominating set (CDS) of a given undirected graph has been studied actively, motivated by operations of wireless ad hoc networks. In this paper, we formulate a new stochastic variant of the…
