We study an "above guarantee" version of the {\sc Longest Path} problem in directed graphs: We are given a graph $G$, two vertices $s$ and $t$ of $G$, and a non-negative integer $k$, and the objective is to determine whether $G$ contains a…
We present new results on a number of fundamental problems about dynamic geometric data structures: 1. We describe the first fully dynamic data structures with sublinear amortized update time for maintaining (i) the number of vertices or…
Given a dynamic graph subject to insertions and deletions of edges, a natural question is whether the graph presently admits a planar embedding. We give a deterministic fully-dynamic algorithm for general graphs, running in amortized…
The problem of finding multiple simple shortest paths in a weighted directed graph $G=(V,E)$ has many applications, and is considerably more difficult than the corresponding problem when cycles are allowed in the paths. Even for a single…
We study the fully dynamic All-Pairs Shortest Paths (APSP) problem in undirected edge-weighted graphs. Given an $n$-vertex graph $G$ with non-negative edge lengths, that undergoes an online sequence of edge insertions and deletions, the…
We present a data structure that for a dynamic graph $G$ that is updated by edge insertions and deletions, maintains a tree decomposition of $G$ of width at most $6k+5$ under the promise that the treewidth of $G$ never grows above $k$. The…
The Path Contraction and Cycle Contraction problems take as input an undirected graph $G$ with $n$ vertices, $m$ edges and an integer $k$ and determine whether one can obtain a path or a cycle, respectively, by performing at most $k$ edge…
In this paper, we initiate the study of the dynamic maintenance of $2$-edge-connectivity relationships in directed graphs. We present an algorithm that can update the $2$-edge-connected blocks of a directed graph with $n$ vertices through a…
There is an extensive literature on dynamic algorithms for a large number of graph theoretic problems, particularly for all varieties of shortest path problems. Germane to this paper are a number fully dynamic algorithms that are known for…
We study the exact fully dynamic shortest paths problem. For real-weighted directed graphs, we show a deterministic fully dynamic data structure with $\tilde{O}(mn^{4/5})$ worst-case update time processing arbitrary $s,t$-distance queries…
We propose a fully dynamic algorithm for maintaining reachability information in directed graphs. The proposed deterministic dynamic algorithm has an update time of $O((ins*n^{2}) + (del * (m+n*log(n))))$ where $m$ is the current number of…
We study the point location problem on dynamic planar subdivisions that allows insertions and deletions of edges. In our problem, the underlying graph of a subdivision is not necessarily connected. We present a data structure of linear size…
We provide the first deterministic data structure that given a weighted undirected graph undergoing edge insertions, processes each update with polylogarithmic amortized update time and answers queries for the distance between any pair of…
In a strongly connected graph $G = (V,E)$, a cut arc (also called strong bridge) is an arc $e \in E$ whose removal makes the graph no longer strongly connected. Equivalently, there exist $u,v \in V$, such that all $u$-$v$ walks contain $e$.…
The diameter of an undirected unweighted graph $G=(V,E)$ is the maximum value of the distance from any vertex $u$ to another vertex $v$ for $u,v \in V$ where distance i.e. $d(u,v)$ is the length of the shortest path from $u$ to $v$ in $G$.…
In the DELETION TO INDUCED MATCHING problem, we are given a graph $G$ on $n$ vertices, $m$ edges and a non-negative integer $k$ and asks whether there exists a set of vertices $S \subseteq V(G) $ such that $|S|\le k$ and the size of any…
A (fully) dynamic graph algorithm is a data structure that supports edge insertions, edge deletions, and answers certain queries that are specific to the problem under consideration. There has been a lot of research on dynamic algorithms…
Dynamic connectivity is one of the most fundamental problems in dynamic graph algorithms. We present a randomized Las Vegas dynamic connectivity data structure with $O(\log n(\log\log n)^2)$ amortized expected update time and $O(\log…
In the directed detour problem one is given a digraph $G$ and a pair of vertices $s$ and~$t$, and the task is to decide whether there is a directed simple path from $s$ to $t$ in $G$ whose length is larger than $\mathsf{dist}_{G}(s,t)$. The…
We give a fully dynamic algorithm maintaining a $(1-\varepsilon)$-approximate directed densest subgraph in $\tilde{O}(\log^3(n)/\varepsilon^6)$ amortized time or $\tilde{O}(\log^4(n)/\varepsilon^7)$ worst-case time per edge update (where…
