We show an improved parallel algorithm for decomposing an undirected unweighted graph into small diameter pieces with a small fraction of the edges in between. These decompositions form critical subroutines in a number of graph algorithms.…

In the decremental Single-Source Shortest Path problem (SSSP), we are given a weighted directed graph $G=(V,E,w)$ undergoing edge deletions and a source vertex $r \in V$; let $n = |V|, m = |E|$ and $W$ be the aspect ratio of the graph. The…

A straightforward dynamic programming method for the single-source shortest paths problem (SSSP) in an edge-weighted directed acyclic graph (DAG) processes the vertices in a topologically sorted order. First, we similarly iterate this…

Let $G$ be a unit disk graph in the plane defined by $n$ disks whose positions are known. For the case when $G$ is unweighted, we give a simple algorithm to compute a shortest path tree from a given source in $O(n\log n)$ time. For the case…

We give a deterministic $O(m\log^{2/3}n)$-time algorithm for single-source shortest paths (SSSP) on directed graphs with real non-negative edge weights in the comparison-addition model. This is the first result to break the $O(m+n\log n)$…
