We describe a simple deterministic near-linear time approximation scheme for uncapacitated minimum cost flow in undirected graphs with real edge weights, a problem also known as transshipment. Specifically, our algorithm takes as input a…

It is known that a better than $2$-approximation algorithm for the girth in dense directed unweighted graphs needs $n^{3-o(1)}$ time unless one uses fast matrix multiplication. Meanwhile, the best known approximation factor for a…

We show an $(1+\epsilon)$-approximation algorithm for maintaining maximum $s$-$t$ flow under $m$ edge insertions in $m^{1/2+o(1)} \epsilon^{-1/2}$ amortized update time for directed, unweighted graphs. This constitutes the first sublinear…

Assuming power travels instantaneously, can be steered by us, and is lost quadratically in each power line, the dynamic optimal power flow problem simplifies to a min-cost dynamic generalized flow with quadratic losses (MCDGFWQL) problem.…

An algorithm observes the trajectories of random walks over an unknown graph $G$, starting from the same vertex $x$, as well as the degrees along the trajectories. For all finite connected graphs, one can estimate the number of edges $m$ up…

An $s{\operatorname{-}}t$ minimum cut in a graph corresponds to a minimum weight subset of edges whose removal disconnects vertices $s$ and $t$. Finding such a cut is a classic problem that is dual to that of finding a maximum flow from $s$…
