A modified version of the Dijkstra algorithm using an inventive contraction hierarchy is proposed. The algorithm considers a directed acyclic graph with a conical or semi-circular structure for which a pair of edges is chosen iteratively…

We present the first $m\,\text{polylog}(n)$ work, $\text{polylog}(n)$ time algorithm in the PRAM model that computes $(1+\epsilon)$-approximate single-source shortest paths on weighted, undirected graphs. This improves upon the breakthrough…

We study fundamental graph parameters such as the Diameter and Radius in directed graphs, when distances are measured using a somewhat unorthodox but natural measure: the distance between $u$ and $v$ is the minimum of the shortest path…

We present faster approximation algorithms for generalized network flow problems. A generalized flow is one in which the flow out of an edge differs from the flow into the edge by a constant factor. We limit ourselves to the lossy case,…

Let $P$ be a path graph of $n$ vertices embedded in a metric space. We consider the problem of adding a new edge to $P$ such that the diameter of the resulting graph is minimized. Previously (in ICALP 2015) the problem was solved in…

Computing a shortest path between two nodes in an undirected unweighted graph is among the most basic algorithmic tasks. Breadth first search solves this problem in linear time, which is clearly also a lower bound in the worst case.…

We consider the problem of finding ``dissimilar'' $k$ shortest paths from $s$ to $t$ in an edge-weighted directed graph $D$, where the dissimilarity is measured by the minimum pairwise Hamming distances between these paths. More formally,…

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…
