A cut sparsifier is a reweighted subgraph that maintains the weights of the cuts of the original graph up to a multiplicative factor of $(1\pm\epsilon)$. This paper considers computing cut sparsifiers of weighted graphs of size $O(n\log…

Given a directed graph $G = (V,E)$, undergoing an online sequence of edge deletions with $m$ edges in the initial version of $G$ and $n = |V|$, we consider the problem of maintaining all-pairs shortest paths (APSP) in $G$. Whilst this…

We provide a method to obtain beyond-worst-case time complexity for any single-source-shortest-path (SSSP) algorithm by exploiting modular structures in graphs. The key novelty is a graph decomposition, called the acyclic-connected (A-C)…

We present a randomized algorithm for the single-source shortest paths (SSSP) problem on directed graphs with arbitrary real-valued edge weights that runs in $n^{2+o(1)}$ time with high probability. This result yields the first almost…

We study the decremental All-Pairs Shortest Paths (APSP) problem in undirected edge-weighted graphs. The input to the problem is an $n$-vertex $m$-edge graph $G$ with non-negative edge lengths, that undergoes a sequence of edge deletions.…

How might one "reduce" a graph? That is, generate a smaller graph that preserves the global structure at the expense of discarding local details? There has been extensive work on both graph sparsification (removing edges) and graph…

Algebraic data structures are the main subroutine for maintaining distances in fully dynamic graphs in subquadratic time. However, these dynamic algebraic algorithms generally cannot maintain the shortest paths, especially against adaptive…

We study vertex sparsification for preserving cuts. Given a graph $G$ with a subset $|T|=k$ of its vertices called terminals, a \emph{quality-$q$ cut sparsifier} is a graph $G'$ that contains $T$, such that, for any partition $(T_1,T_2)$ of…
