Circuit-augmentation algorithms are generalizations of the Simplex method, where in each step one is allowed to move along a fixed set of directions, called circuits, that is a superset of the edges of a polytope. We show that in the…
An influential result by Dor, Halperin, and Zwick (FOCS 1996, SICOMP 2000) implies an algorithm that can compute approximate shortest paths for all vertex pairs in $\tilde{O}(n^{2+O\left(\frac{1}{k}\right )})$ time, ensuring that the output…
In the \emph{incremental cycle detection} problem arcs are added to a directed acyclic graph and the algorithm has to report if the new arc closes a cycle. One seeks to minimize the total time to process the entire sequence of arc…
Let $U_{k,N}$ denote the Boolean function which takes as input $k$ strings of $N$ bits each, representing $k$ numbers $a^{(1)},\dots,a^{(k)}$ in $\{0,1,\dots,2^{N}-1\}$, and outputs 1 if and only if $a^{(1)} + \cdots + a^{(k)} \geq 2^N.$…
