In this paper, we consider the minimum spanning tree problem (for short, MSTP) on an arbitrary set of $n$ points of $d$-dimensional space in $l_1$-norm. For this problem, for each fixed $d\geq 2$, there is a known algorithm of the…
In this work, we develop the low-space Massively Parallel Computation (MPC) complexity landscape for a family of fundamental graph problems on trees. We present a general method that solves most locally checkable labeling (LCL) problems…
Given an integer array $A[1..n]$, the Range Minimum Query problem (RMQ) asks to preprocess $A$ into a data structure, supporting RMQ queries: given $a,b\in [1,n]$, return the index $i\in[a,b]$ that minimizes $A[i]$, i.e.,…
In the Range Minimum Query (RMQ) problem, we are given an array $A$ of $n$ numbers and we are asked to answer queries of the following type: for indices $i$ and $j$ between $0$ and $n-1$, query $\text{RMQ}_A(i,j)$ returns the index of a…
Dynamic tree data structures maintain a forest while supporting insertion and deletion of edges and a broad set of queries in $O(\log n)$ time per operation. Such data structures are at the core of many modern algorithms. Recent work has…
The problem of designing connectivity oracles supporting vertex failures is one of the basic data structures problems for undirected graphs. It is already well understood: previous works [Duan--Pettie STOC'10; Long--Saranurak FOCS'22]…
Learning algorithms produce software models for realising critical classification tasks. Decision trees models are simpler than other models such as neural network and they are used in various critical domains such as the medical and the…
The AP-LCA problem asks, given an $n$-node directed acyclic graph (DAG), to compute for every pair of vertices $u$ and $v$ in the DAG a lowest common ancestor (LCA) of $u$ and $v$ if one exists. In this paper we study several interesting…
The Gomory-Hu tree, or a cut tree, is a classic data structure that stores minimum $s$-$t$ cuts of an undirected weighted graph for all pairs of nodes $(s,t)$. We propose a new approach for computing the cut tree based on a reduction to the…
We give almost-linear-time algorithms for approximating rooted minimum cut and maximum arborescence packing in directed graphs, two problems that are dual to each other [Edm73]. More specifically, for an $n$-vertex, $m$-edge directed graph…
Given an $n$-vertex non-negatively real-weighted graph $G$, whose vertices are partitioned into a set of $k$ clusters, a \emph{clustered network design problem} on $G$ consists of solving a given network design optimization problem on $G$,…
We consider the minimum spanning tree problem with predictions, using the weight-arrival model, i.e., the graph is given, together with predictions for the weights of all edges. Then the actual weights arrive one at a time and an…
Optimization modeling is one of the most crucial but technical parts of operations research (OR). To automate the modeling process, existing works have leveraged large language models (LLMs), prompting them to break down tasks into steps…
We consider the problem of augmenting an $n$-vertex tree with one shortcut in order to minimize the diameter of the resulting graph. The tree is embedded in an unknown space and we have access to an oracle that, when queried on a pair of…
We consider the basic problem of querying an expert oracle for labeling a dataset in machine learning. This is typically an expensive and time consuming process and therefore, we seek ways to do so efficiently. The conventional approach…
We significantly improve known time bounds for solving the minimum cut problem on undirected graphs. We use a ``semi-duality'' between minimum cuts and maximum spanning tree packings combined with our previously developed random sampling…
For any forest $G = (V, E)$ it is possible to orient the edges $E$ so that no vertex in $V$ has out-degree greater than $1$. This paper considers the incremental edge-orientation problem, in which the edges $E$ arrive over time and the…
We propose an extension of tree-based space-partitioning indexing structures for data with low intrinsic dimensionality embedded in a high dimensional space. We call this extension an Angle Tree. Our extension can be applied to both…

In this paper we introduce the notion of explicit worst-case bounded adaptive algorithms for applications with fixed process-completion requirements. Such applications demand that a process be guaranteed to complete within an established…
