Exact computation of shortest paths in weighted graphs has been traditionally studied in one of two settings. First, one can assume that the edge weights are real numbers and all the performed operations on reals (typically comparisons and…
The $k$ disjoint shortest paths problem ($k$-DSPP) on a graph with $k$ source-sink pairs $(s_i, t_i)$ asks for the existence of $k$ pairwise edge- or vertex-disjoint shortest $s_i$-$t_i$-paths. It is known to be NP-complete if $k$ is part…

Given an arbitrary, non-negatively weighted, directed graph $G=(V,E)$ we present an algorithm that computes all pairs shortest paths in time $\mathcal{O}(m^* n + m \lg n + nT_\psi(m^*, n))$, where $m^*$ is the number of different edges…

In general the problem of finding a miminum spanning tree for a weighted directed graph is difficult but solvable. There are a lot of differences between problems for directed and undirected graphs, therefore the algorithms for undirected…
We give the first fully dynamic algorithm which maintains a $(1-\epsilon)$-approximate densest subgraph in worst-case time $\text{poly}(\log n, \epsilon^{-1})$ per update. Dense subgraph discovery is an important primitive for many…
We provide an algorithm which, with high probability, maintains a $(1-\epsilon)$-approximate maximum flow on an undirected graph undergoing $m$-edge additions in amortized $m^{o(1)} \epsilon^{-3}$ time per update. To obtain this result, we…
We present a new randomized algorithm for computing the diameter of a weighted directed graph. The algorithm runs in $\Ot(M^{\w/(\w+1)}n^{(\w^2+3)/(\w+1)})$ time, where $\w < 2.376$ is the exponent of fast matrix multiplication, $n$ is the…
