Consider a random graph model where each possible edge $e$ is present independently with some probability $p_e$. Given these probabilities, we want to build a large/heavy matching in the randomly generated graph. However, the only way we…
We give a quasipolynomial time algorithm for the graph matching problem (also known as noisy or robust graph isomorphism) on correlated random graphs. Specifically, for every $\gamma>0$, we give a $n^{O(\log n)}$ time algorithm that given a…
In this paper we study the problem of fully dynamic maximal matching with lookahead. In a fully dynamic $n$-vertex graph setting, we have to handle updates (insertions and removals of edges), and answer queries regarding the current graph,…
We present a dynamic algorithm for maintaining the connected and 2-edge-connected components in an undirected graph subject to edge deletions. The algorithm is Monte-Carlo randomized and processes any sequence of edge deletions in $O(m + n…
We revisit the classic problem of dynamically maintaining shortest paths between all pairs of nodes of a directed weighted graph. The allowed updates are insertions and deletions of nodes and their incident edges. We give worst-case…

In the decremental $(1+\epsilon)$-approximate Single-Source Shortest Path (SSSP) problem, we are given a graph $G=(V,E)$ with $n = |V|, m = |E|$, undergoing edge deletions, and a distinguished source $s \in V$, and we are asked to process…
We develop a new framework for generalizing approximation algorithms from the structural graph algorithm literature so that they apply to graphs somewhat close to that class (a scenario we expect is common when working with real-world…

In this paper we provide an algorithm for maintaining a $(1-\epsilon)$-approximate maximum flow in a dynamic, capacitated graph undergoing edge additions. Over a sequence of $m$-additions to an $n$-node graph where every edge has capacity…
We study the stable matching problem in non-bipartite graphs with incomplete but strict preference lists, where the edges have weights and the goal is to compute a stable matching of minimum or maximum weight. This problem is known to be…
Recently we presented the first algorithm for maintaining the set of nodes reachable from a source node in a directed graph that is modified by edge deletions with $o(mn)$ total update time, where $m$ is the number of edges and $n$ is the…
With few exceptions (namely, algorithms for maximal matching, $2$-approximate vertex cover, and certain constant-stretch spanners), all known fully dynamic algorithms in general graphs require (amortized) $\Omega(\log n)$ update/query time.…
The classic lower bound of Kuhn, Moscibroda and Wattenhofer [JACM 2016] states that approximate maximum matching and approximate vertex cover (among other problems) in the LOCAL model require $\Omega(\min\{\sqrt{\frac{\log n}{\log\log n}},…
