We study the replacement paths problem in the $\mathsf{CONGEST}$ model of distributed computing. Given an $s$-$t$ shortest path $P$, the goal is to compute, for every edge $e$ in $P$, the shortest-path distance from $s$ to $t$ avoiding $e$.…

Given a graph $G$, the sparsest-cut problem asks to find the set of vertices $S$ which has the least expansion defined as $$\phi_G(S) := \frac{w(E(S,\bar{S}))}{\min \set{w(S), w(\bar{S})}}, $$ where $w$ is the total edge weight of a subset.…

Expander decompositions have become one of the central frameworks in the design of fast algorithms. For an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$, a near-optimal $\phi$-expander decomposition is a partition $V_1, V_2, \ldots, V_k$ of the vertex set $V$…
