A maximal independent set (MIS) can be maintained in an evolving $m$-edge graph by simply recomputing it from scratch in $O(m)$ time after each update. But can it be maintained in time sublinear in $m$ in fully dynamic graphs? We answer…

Maintaining maximal independent set in dynamic graph is a fundamental open problem in graph theory and the first sublinear time deterministic algorithm was came up by Assadi, Onak, Schieber and Solomon(STOC'18), which achieves $O(m^{3/4})$…

We give an algorithm that given a graph $G$ with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges and an integer $k$, in time $O_k(n^{1+o(1)}) + O(m)$ either outputs a rank decomposition of $G$ of width at most $k$ or determines that the rankwidth of $G$ is…

We consider the problems of maintaining an approximate maximum matching and an approximate minimum vertex cover in a dynamic graph undergoing a sequence of edge insertions/deletions. Starting with the seminal work of Onak and Rubinfeld…

This paper studies clustering algorithms for dynamically evolving graphs $\{G_t\}$, in which new edges (and potential new vertices) are added into a graph, and the underlying cluster structure of the graph can gradually change. The paper…

We study the \emph{{interval completion}} problem, which asks for the insertion of a set of at most $k$ edges to make a graph of $n$ vertices into an interval graph. We focus on chordal graphs with no small obstructions, where every…

Let ${\cal F}$ be a family of graphs. In the ${\cal F}$-Completion problem, we are given a graph $G$ and an integer $k$ as input, and asked whether at most $k$ edges can be added to $G$ so that the resulting graph does not contain a graph…

In this paper we study the dynamic versions of two basic graph problems: Minimum Dominating Set and its variant Minimum Connected Dominating Set. For those two problems, we present algorithms that maintain a solution under edge insertions…

For a graph $H$, the $H$-free Edge Deletion problem asks whether there exist at most $k$ edges whose deletion from the input graph $G$ results in a graph without any induced copy of $H$. We prove that $H$-free Edge Deletion is NP-complete…

We develop dynamic data structures for maintaining a hierarchical k-center clustering when the points come from a discrete space $\{1,\ldots,\Delta\}^d$. Our first data structure is for the low dimensional setting, i.e., d is a constant,…

We present a data structure that we call a Dynamic Representative Set. In its most basic form, it is given two parameters $0< k < n$ and allows us to maintain a representation of a family $\mathcal{F}$ of subsets of $\{1,\ldots,n\}$. It…

During the last 10 years it has become popular to study dynamic graph problems in a emergency planning or sensitivity setting: Instead of considering the general fully dynamic problem, we only have to process a single batch update of size…

We consider the problem of finding an edge in a hidden undirected graph $G = (V, E)$ with $n$ vertices, in a model where we only allowed queries that ask whether or not a subset of vertices contains an edge. We study the non-adaptive model…

For fixed integers $r,\ell \geq 0$, a graph $G$ is called an {\em $(r,\ell)$-graph} if the vertex set $V(G)$ can be partitioned into $r$ independent sets and $\ell$ cliques. This brings us to the following natural parameterized questions:…

We study the point location problem on dynamic planar subdivisions that allows insertions and deletions of edges. In our problem, the underlying graph of a subdivision is not necessarily connected. We present a data structure of linear size…

Let $G$ be a graph having a vertex $v$ such that $H = G - v$ is a trivially perfect graph. We give a polynomial-time algorithm for the problem of deciding whether it is possible to add at most $k$ edges to $G$ to obtain a trivially perfect…

We study geometric set cover problems in dynamic settings, allowing insertions and deletions of points and objects. We present the first dynamic data structure that can maintain an $O(1)$-approximation in sublinear update time for set cover…

Dynamically maintaining the minimum cut in a graph $G$ under edge insertions and deletions is a fundamental problem in dynamic graph algorithms for which no conditional lower bound on the time per operation exists. In an $n$-node graph the…

We provide a framework for the design and analysis of dynamic programming algorithms for surface-embedded graphs on n vertices and branchwidth at most k. Our technique applies to general families of problems where standard dynamic…
