In the cut-query model, the algorithm can access the input graph $G=(V,E)$ only via cut queries that report, given a set $S\subseteq V$, the total weight of edges crossing the cut between $S$ and $V\setminus S$. This model was introduced by…

We present a deterministic fully-dynamic data structure for maintaining information about the cut-vertices in a graph; i.e. the vertices whose removal would disconnect the graph. Our data structure supports insertion and deletion of edges,…

We study the \emph{sensitivity oracles problem for subgraph connectivity} in the \emph{decremental} and \emph{fully dynamic} settings. In the fully dynamic setting, we preprocess an $n$-vertices $m$-edges undirected graph $G$ with $n_{\rm…

We consider the fundamental problems of determining the rooted and global edge and vertex connectivities (and computing the corresponding cuts) in directed graphs. For rooted (and hence also global) edge connectivity with small integer…

The minimum cut problem for an undirected edge-weighted graph asks us to divide its set of nodes into two blocks while minimizing the weight sum of the cut edges. In this paper, we engineer the fastest known exact algorithm for the problem.…

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…

Computing edge-connected components in directed and undirected graphs is a fundamental and well-studied problem in graph algorithms. In a very recent breakthrough, Korhonen [STOC 2025] showed that for any fixed $k$, the $k$-edge connected…

The minimum cut problem in an undirected and weighted graph $G$ is to find the minimum total weight of a set of edges whose removal disconnects $G$. We completely characterize the quantum query and time complexity of the minimum cut problem…
