In fault-tolerant distance labeling we wish to assign short labels to the vertices of a graph $G$ such that from the labels of any three vertices $u,v,f$ we can infer the $u$-to-$v$ distance in the graph $G\setminus \{f\}$. We show that any…

A $k$-vertex connectivity oracle for undirected $G$ is a data structure that, given $u,v\in V(G)$, reports $\min\{k,\kappa(u,v)\}$, where $\kappa(u,v)$ is the pairwise vertex connectivity between $u,v$. There are three main measures of…

Calculating the diameter of an undirected graph requires quadratic running time under the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis and this barrier works even against any approximation better than 3/2. For planar graphs with positive edge…

We prove that, up to subpolynomial or polylogarithmic factors, there is no tradeoff between preprocessing time, query time, and size of exact distance oracles for planar graphs. Namely, we show how given an $n$-vertex weighted directed…

We combine ideas from distance sensitivity oracles (DSOs) and fixed-parameter tractability (FPT) to design sensitivity oracles for FPT graph problems. An oracle with sensitivity $f$ for an FPT problem $\Pi$ on a graph $G$ with parameter $k$…

The $\mathsf{HYBRID}$ model was introduced as a means for theoretical study of distributed networks that use various communication modes. Conceptually, it is a synchronous message passing model with a local communication mode, where in each…

Thorup [FOCS'01, JACM'04] and Klein [SODA'01] independently showed that there exists a $(1+\epsilon)$-approximate distance oracle for planar graphs with $O(n (\log n)\epsilon^{-1})$ space and $O(\epsilon^{-1})$ query time. While the…

Suppose that $[n]=\left\{0,1,2,...,n\right\}$ is a set of non-negative integers and $h,k \in [n]$. The $L(h,k)$-labeling of graph $G$ is the function $l:V(G)\rightarrow[n]$ such that $\left|l(u)-l(v)\right|\geq h$ if the distance $d(u,v)$…

An $f$-edge fault-tolerant distance sensitive oracle ($f$-DSO) with stretch $\sigma \ge 1$ is a data structure that preprocesses a given undirected, unweighted graph $G$ with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, and a positive integer $f$. When…

We present an $O(n^{1.5})$-space distance oracle for directed planar graphs that answers distance queries in $O(\log n)$ time. Our oracle both significantly simplifies and significantly improves the recent oracle of Cohen-Addad, Dahlgaard…

A graph labeling assigns values to the components of a graph (vertices, edges, etc.). In particular, distance magic labelings have been widely studied in undirected graphs. In such a labeling, the vertices are labeled with unique values…

For an undirected unweighted graph G = (V, E) with n vertices and m edges, let d(u, v) denote the distance from u in V to v in V in G. An (alpha, beta)-stretch approximate distance oracle (ADO) for G is a data structure that, given u, v in…

The distance sensitivity oracle (DSO) problem asks us to preprocess a given graph $G=(V,E)$ in order to answer queries of the form $d(x,y,e)$, which denotes the shortest path distance in $G$ from vertex $x$ to vertex $y$ when edge $e$ is…

A periodic temporal graph, in its simplest form, is a graph in which every edge appears exactly once in the first $\Delta$ time steps, and then it reappears recurrently every $\Delta$ time steps, where $\Delta$ is a given period length.…

Given two vertex sets $S$ and $T$ in a graph, the $ST$-diameter is the maximum $s$-$t$-distance between vertices $s \in S$ and $t \in T$. We study the problem of estimating the $ST$-diameter of graphs that are subject to a small number of…
