In the semi-streaming model, an algorithm must process any $n$-vertex graph by making one or few passes over a stream of its edges, use $O(n \cdot \text{polylog }n)$ words of space, and at the end of the last pass, output a solution to the…
We introduce a new approach to the maximum flow problem in undirected, capacitated graphs using $\alpha$-\emph{congestion-approximators}: easy-to-compute functions that approximate the congestion required to route single-commodity demands…
We present a family of fast pseudo-approximation algorithms for the minimum balanced vertex separator problem in a graph. Given a graph $G=(V,E)$ with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, and a (constant) balance parameter $c\in(0,1/2)$, where $G$…

This paper studies a variant of the minimum-cost flow problem in a graph with convex cost function where the demands at the vertices are functions depending on a one-dimensional parameter $\lambda$. We devise two algorithmic approaches for…
We investigate the complexity and approximability of the budget-constrained minimum cost flow problem, which is an extension of the traditional minimum cost flow problem by a second kind of costs associated with each edge, whose total value…

Computing routing schemes that support both high throughput and low latency is one of the core challenges of network optimization. Such routes can be formalized as $h$-length flows which are defined as flows whose flow paths are restricted…
We present an algorithm for computing $s$-$t$ maximum flows in directed graphs in $\widetilde{O}(m^{4/3+o(1)}U^{1/3})$ time. Our algorithm is inspired by potential reduction interior point methods for linear programming. Instead of using…
We present a simple and faster algorithm for computing fair cuts on undirected graphs, a concept introduced in recent work of Li et al. (SODA 2023). Informally, for any parameter $\epsilon>0$, a $(1+\epsilon)$-fair $(s,t)$-cut is an…
We present a randomized $O(m \log^2 n)$ work, $O(\text{polylog } n)$ depth parallel algorithm for minimum cut. This algorithm matches the work bounds of a recent sequential algorithm by Gawrychowski, Mozes, and Weimann [ICALP'20], and…
