The maximum integer skew-symmetric flow problem (MSFP) generalizes both the maximum flow and maximum matching problems. It was introduced by Tutte in terms of self-conjugate flows in antisymmetrical digraphs. He showed that for these…

We present two algorithms for dynamically maintaining a spanning forest of a graph undergoing edge insertions and deletions. Our algorithms guarantee {\em worst-case update time} and work against an adaptive adversary, meaning that an edge…

We present an algorithm that on input of an $n$-vertex $m$-edge weighted graph $G$ and a value $k$, produces an {\em incremental sparsifier} $\hat{G}$ with $n-1 + m/k$ edges, such that the condition number of $G$ with $\hat{G}$ is bounded…

Given a directed graph $G$, a transitive reduction $G^t$ of $G$ (first studied by Aho, Garey, Ullman [SICOMP `72]) is a minimal subgraph of $G$ that preserves the reachability relation between every two vertices in $G$. In this paper, we…
