Given a set $P$ of $n$ points and a set $S$ of $m$ disks in the plane, the disk hitting set problem asks for a smallest subset of $P$ such that every disk of $S$ contains at least one point in the subset. The problem is NP-hard. In this…

We investigate the problem of computing the shortest secure path in a Voronoi diagram. Here, a path is secure if it is a sequence of touching Voronoi cells, where each Voronoi cell in the path has a uniform cost of being secured.…

Given an undirected $n$-vertex graph and $k$ pairs of terminal vertices $(s_1,t_1), \ldots, (s_k,t_k)$, the $k$-Disjoint Shortest Paths ($k$-DSP)-problem asks whether there are $k$ pairwise vertex-disjoint paths $P_1,\ldots, P_k$ such that…

We present parallel algorithms for computing single-source reachability and shortest paths on directed $n$-vertex $m$-edge graphs using near-linear $\tilde{O}(m)$ work and $o(\sqrt{n})$ depth whenever $m\ge n^{1+o(1)}$. At the extreme of…

In the restricted shortest paths problem, we are given a graph $G$ whose edges are assigned two non-negative weights: lengths and delays, a source $s$, and a delay threshold $D$. The goal is to find, for each target $t$, the length of the…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be any undirected graph on $V$ vertices and $E$ edges. A path $\textbf{P}$ between any two vertices $u,v\in V$ is said to be $t$-approximate shortest path if its length is at most $t$ times the length of the shortest path…
