In the decremental $(1+\epsilon)$-approximate Single-Source Shortest Path (SSSP) problem, we are given a graph $G=(V,E)$ with $n = |V|, m = |E|$, undergoing edge deletions, and a distinguished source $s \in V$, and we are asked to process…

Computing a minimum path cover (MPC) of a directed acyclic graph (DAG) is a fundamental problem with a myriad of applications, including reachability. Although it is known how to solve the problem by a simple reduction to minimum flow,…

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 $O(m+n\log n)$…

Given a directed graph $G$ with arbitrary real-valued weights, the single source shortest-path problem (SSSP) asks for, given a source $s$ in $G$, finding a shortest path from $s$ to each vertex $v$ in $G$. A classical SSSP algorithm…
We develop new $(1+\epsilon)$-approximation algorithms for finding the global minimum edge-cut in a directed edge-weighted graph, and for finding the global minimum vertex-cut in a directed vertex-weighted graph. Our algorithms are…
We consider the Shortest Odd Path problem, where given an undirected graph $G$, a weight function on its edges, and two vertices $s$ and $t$ in $G$, the aim is to find an $(s,t)$-path with odd length and, among all such paths, of minimum…
A minimum path cover (MPC) of a directed acyclic graph (DAG) $G = (V,E)$ is a minimum-size set of paths that together cover all the vertices of the DAG. Computing an MPC is a basic polynomial problem, dating back to Dilworth's and…
